Just did the Specters & Shades tour! Wow!

I went on the Specters & Shades of Court End Ghost Tour last weekend, and it was fantastic! Our guide was super knowledgeable about the history of Richmond, and the stories about the Supreme Court Chief Justice’s home were intense. The architecture in that area is stunning too! I wasn't sure if it would be too scary, but it was just the right amount of spook. Highly recommend for anyone who loves history or ghost stories!

Planning to gift the ghost tour—any tips?

I'm thinking about gifting the Specters & Shades of Court End Ghost Tour to my partner who loves spooky stuff. Can anyone share what to expect or any must-know details? I want it to be memorable! How's the experience overall? Thanks!
