Richmond's history is filled with war, tragedy, triumph, and loss, making it one of the most fascinating haunted cities in the South. The Ghosts of Richmond Tour is the perfect all-ages haunted adventure for families, history lovers, and anyone curious about the spooky side of Virginia's historic capital. This isn't a gimmicky ghost walk—it's a carefully researched look into Richmond's haunted past, designed to be entertaining for both kids and adults. With flexible bookings that let you reschedule up to 8 hours before your tour, it's easy to make it part of your family's evening plans.

Join Ghost City Tours as we explore the ghostly legends, unexplained encounters, and haunted locations that have earned Richmond its reputation for the paranormal. From the historic streets of Church Hill to the shadowy corners of Shockoe, you'll uncover stories of Civil War soldiers, restless spirits, tragic events, and the people who never truly left. Every stop is rooted in real history, because we believe the real stories are always the scariest ones.

The Ghosts of Richmond Tour runs nightly at 8 pm and lasts about 90 minutes, giving you plenty of time to soak in the atmosphere (and maybe even spot something unexplainable). Along the way, discover why generations of locals and visitors alike have reported strange sightings and eerie experiences throughout Virginia's historic capital. All of our tours are walking tours, and additional times may be available. Whether you're visiting with the kids or just want a spooky, history-filled evening, this tour is a fun and unforgettable way to experience Richmond.
