    My husband and I were in Richmond for our Anniversary and have always wanted to do a ghost tour. This tour did not disappoint. Our guide was knowledgeable and had the greatest sense of humor. She even was helpful in helping us plan our next day in Richmond so we could avoid traffic due to the marathon. The tour was full of very interesting stops with historical ghost stories ranging from the inception of Richmond to the recent past. The tickets are reasonably priced and we got to take advantage of a BOGO for my husband’s military service. If you decided to go on the tour make sure you tip the guide. It’s not required but ours was so good they definitely deserve it!
