Richmond Haunted History Ghost Tour

My husband and I went on this tour the Saturday night before Halloween as a fun and spooky activity to do while we were in town for one night for a staycation. It was pretty fun! The best part was just listening to some stories and being able to walk around the Capitol grounds, which I'd never seen before even though I'd been to Richmond (and that area!) countless times. I found Haunts of Richmond via Googling activities to do the weekend we were in Richmond. We had a great time! I think our tour guide was fairly new and a bit nervous -- it was hard to follow her on some of the stories and she seemed to have trouble telling some of the stories. But overall, it was a fun experience, fun to walk around, took some really cool pictures of the Capitol grounds at night, listened to some interesting history, and was something spooky to do on Halloween weekend.

We had high expectations for this tour. We love ghost tours. There is so much history to draw from in this wonderful city. You expect a guide to have command of the basic facts of the city, events, and people they are talking about. Our female guide was all over the place when attempting to present the information at each stop. She actually admitted she couldn't remember dates blaming severe dyslexia for not being able to recall the dates needed to give historical context to her stories. Rarely did she mention names of the people in her stories. She even stated she had forgotten to write down the dates or numbers saying we must think she was unprofessional. She was right on that regard but so wrong for this job. There were nearly 40 people on this tour and she completely dropped the ball. The ghost stories were just that with little historical content or much to make them feel real or interesting. She stopped to tell one story on one of the busiest streets in downtown so it was very hard to hear most of what she said there. Our $20 was a waste of money. Avoid this tour to avoid major disappointment!!

This is not a haunted tour..its a tour where they tell ghost stories. If you want to powerwalk through Richmond at night and have someone tell you ghost stories...this is the tour for you.

Phenomenal tour. We have been on two od their tours now and thoroughly have enjoyed the blend of history and hauntings. This is hands down the best haunted tours of Richmond. Normally we save ghost tours for when on vacation, but decided to go on Haunts of Richmond tours, and very glad we did! Highly recommended!
