Booked the tour because of availability. Turned out pretty well. Our guide did very good job of telling history and legends about Richmond especially the Church Hill area. She is a good storyteller who has pleasant voice. We enjoyed our tour.

Martha was a great tour guide! The other Haunts of Richmond staff I encountered, Beth and Chris, were also great and super welcoming. The tour was lots of fun and I enjoyed hearing all about the history of RVA.

Beth and Chris were wonderful! My husband and I had a hard time choosing our favorite stories at the end -- all were captivating. Can't wait to go on another tour.

Such great background stories and history about RVA that you'd never know as an out-of-towner unless you did the tour. Marsha is great...she was in costume on Halloween. Even if you don't believe in ghosts, you should go! Totally worth it. We enjoyed it so much. Lots of good info on Poe was included. Bonus!!
