We met at a historical, haunted pub. It was my 1st time here and will definitely be back. The tour guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. We did encounter a cold spot at one of the stops. My friend noticed it 1st, and we pointed it out to the guide who walked over and he agreed. Encounters don’t always happen on this type of tour. Gives it authenticity. They told us bits of history that I didn’t know.
Thank you very much for joining us! That cold spot was certainly a surprise, but quite welcome considering how warm the evening was! We’re so glad that you enjoyed the experience with us and that you learned a bit about our history along the way. We hope to see you on another tour soon!
Very engaging. The walk was very nice, easy, through beautiful historic neighborhood. The tour is partly ghost themed with lots of interesting facts and stories about national and local history. Our guide was an amazing wealth of information and a gifted story teller. 2 hours flew by! Martha was terrific!!

We had a WONDERFUL tour with Martha a few weeks back. Ended up being a private tour since nobody had signed up that specific evening in Church Hill, which made the experience all that more personable. Having lived in Church Hill for 1+ years now, we knew so little of the history of the area and really appreciated how knowledgeable our guide was about our stomping grounds. Felt very safe throughout, had all of our questions answered, and felt inspired to sign up for another tour real soon! Would recommend 10/10 to anybody else thinking about trying it :)
Thank you so much for joining us and for the wonderful review! We’re so glad that you enjoyed the experience and we hope to see you again on another tour soon.

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.
