Definite To-Do in Richmond - Fantastic tour. Our guides Beth & Chris wove compelling stories around the sites we visited in the historic area. They were easy to understand and the narrative flowed seamlessly from site to site. Our group included both families and older couples. Everyone seemed to enjoy it equally. Definitely a top recommendation in Richmond.

This is for the Poe Fans - If you're in to Poe conspiracy theories, ask for Olivia!!! She was a treasure trove of interesting information! My 9yo was so engaged and you should of heard the questions he was asking!!! So deep!! She blew his little mind!! We had perfect weather for it, too, which was the cherry on top! We had dinner just around the corner at the Proper Pie beforehand, which made for a really great family evening!!! Would highly recommend!!! Just FYI, there's no sign at the meet up location. We met them in front of Richbrau Brewery. If you go the the bottom of the hill on 20th St, there's a fenced-in lot for the Holocaust Museum that you can park in!! Hope you see some ghosts!!! 😅🤣😅🤩

Excellent - The FreeMason building was amazing to see. I absolutely loved learning about Edgar Allen Poe. The beautiful house the corporate man owns was nice.

Very interesting tour with historical facts. Learned about parts of Shockoe I’d never known before. Missed the tunnel - Enjoyed our tour by Beth. Very informative about parts of Shockoe history. Interesting info about some resident ghosts. Wished we could have seen the tunnel up close but skies were getting dark.
