Franklin Street ghosts

5.00Enjoyed the walking tour & the history lessons. Leigh & Chris were very personable. Would like to have a little more spook factor! We talked about the John Marshall Hotel but didn't walk down to the hotel.
Entertaining but the 30+ group was too large.

4.00Z was entertaining but there were too many people on the tour. Please considering splitting up such large groups. Ghost tours are so much better when the group is smaller and the atmosphere is more intimate.

3.00The tour girl was awesome, she put a lot of enfasi and passion in her stories. It was a great walk around Richmond with “ghost stories”.

Spooky History!

4.00We enjoyed our ghost tour around Franklin and learned a lot about the history of the city, in particular the sites around our tour. For example, I had no idea Edgar Allen Poe had ties to Richmond! Our guide was very animated and knowledgeable and, unlike the a previous reviewer, our tour did last the whole 90 minutes advertised.

5.00Our guide Marcia was engaging as she led us through a neighborhood full of beautiful architecture and chilling historical tales. Would highly recommend for any architecturally minded people who like a good ghost story.

1.00This was advertised as 75 to 90 min and it was barely and hour. We literally walked around the block. A few good history facts but it was pretty boring. I think the other tours that are offered by this company are better. Wish we had signed up for the a different one.
