Awesome Time! - We went during a Bachelorette trip, and Valerie was great. It was rainy, but she still came out and showed us a great time. It was a fun time learning about the history of Richmond.

Fascinating Experience - The guide was very engaging and did a great job of revealing the history of the neighborhood. The stories were enjoyable and even my skeptical wife was able to enjoy the experience. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to learn more about the area with a ghostly twist.

Too many disjointed stories that were poorly told - Our tour guide was a little boring and her stories didn’t flow well. The history part of the tour was a little interesting but the ghost stories need to be better developed.

Not what I expected - I was so excited to go on this tour with my family and felt like there was great potential for storytelling . Shockoe bottom has a rich history. My family and I were sadly disappointed with the tour guide. She was very nice and animated but the stories were all disjointed and she kept laughing at her own jokes. Unfortunately we were bored and ready to leave after 1 hour and 45 minutes. I would not recommend this particular tour guide to my friends or family.

Bored - Introduction was great. Area is fabulous and held so much potential. Tiffany is a very nice person but her story telling was off tonight. My family was bored after the second stop. We kept hoping the next stop would be better, but it wasn’t. I’d consider another tour but with a different host. Maybe.
