We had such an amazing experience with…

We had such an amazing experience with Richmond Ghost! Our tour guide, Bryce T, was absolutely fantastic—so knowledgeable, engaging and authentic. He didn’t just tell the stories, he made you feel them, which brought the entire experience to life. What really stood out to us was how much rich history was woven into the tour. Even though my family and I have lived in the Richmond area our whole lives, we were blown away by how much we learned. It’s incredible to realize just how much history exists right in our own backyard.
I also highly recommend adding the extended tour—it is 100% worth every penny and adds so much more depth to the experience. Such a fun, fascinating and memorable night. We’ll definitely be recommending this to others!

Spooky Fun

Bryce T was our amazing and entertaining tour guide! It was a delight, not too much walking and relatively easy hills for richmond. An absolute blast, even on a busy bustling Saturday night in richmond it still had an eerie intrigue. Will definitely be returning and getting the emf detector next time. Very informative for visiting multiple historical spots and museums.

Shockoe Horrors

Our guide Hampton was friendly, funny, and knowledgable about the area's history on our Shockoe tour. Unfortunately, our group size was much too large for one guide (10+) and it was hard to hear and stay together. Also, we used a lot of steep/uneven walking paths, and some participants had to leave early/miss sections of the tour due to mobility issues, so I'd suggest including the expected walking distance with ticket ordering.

Spooky and fun way to start our trip

The tour was a lot of fun and informative of history of the local area and hauntings. Our tour guide was Bryce, who did a phenomenal job. Bryce has a Johnny Depp Pirates of the Caribbean swagger and needs to keep pursuing his dreams.

Bryce T was an awesome tour guide

Bryce T was an awesome tour guide. A co worker and I were only in town for a short time and wanted to catch a tour. I felt bad that it was raining but our guide didn’t care. He was super informative, personable and funny. We had fun even though it was just the three of us. Would recommend.
