We went on a fantastic NEON murals tour. Our guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and patient. We can't wait to go to another one!

“Our guide was fabulous. He shared history of the cemetery and those buried there as well as general information about what life was like for those wacky Victorians. They were such an interesting bunch. I’ve attended many cemetery tours in different cities and Josh has been was of the most informed. It was a great crowd and made it completely worth driving there from Richmond!”

“Josh is not only a great guide but he’s a local historian. His knowledge for the area is extensive but he makes it fun and interesting. Not only does he know about the history of the area, he knows about the people as well. He brings the past alive and makes it feel like you’re stepping back into time. I would highly recommend any tour he does to locals or someone visiting the area.”

“We’ve taken educational tours of the historic Elmwood Cemetery, exhibits at the Chrysler Museum, fun tours of the new NEON District, and we always have a great time. If you’re looking for a good time with your friends, or if you’re a teacher and would like your class to learn more about local history or the arts, then check out these tours. As a parent, I can attest that my kids love the tours as well.”

“My husband and I have attended both Norfolk Notables and Strange Happenings. These are great tours – informative, entertaining, and a lovely walk through a beautiful cemetery “park.” The tour guide, Josh Weinstein, offers a well-researched, thoughtful, and humorous approach to the history of Elmwood. We highly recommend!”
