It pains me to say it because the guide was amazing and clearly passionate about the topic. But we stood mostly at a large distance away from the sites and it was stories that people told them. Or... stories that people didn’t tell them...? If you know, you know. We didn’t even finish the tour, but snuck off to walk back to the hotel. It doesn’t help that the area is apparently a party district. So, a lot of people cutting thru and trying to listen over music being pumped thru various vehicles. Takes away all the “magic”.

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!
