We decided to have a fun bounce house at our residence for Easter! We were celebrating our grandson's 2nd birthday! It was FABULOUS! The rental process was easy, staff was friendly, and arrived on time! The set up did not take long! I am beyond static with their products and services! We look forward to utilizing their services again! read more

My review is a bit late; we did a party bus for holiday lights tour. We chose the option to meet at…read moretheir pickup spot. It was easy to find and well lit. The person on the phone who helped me book the tour was very friendly and kind too. My family really enjoyed our experience. Matthew was an amazing driver and guide. He was kind, funny, and knowledgeable about the stops. We really enjoyed the hidden gem stop at the end of the tour. The bus was clean and comfortable. My family enjoyed our experience and we would absolutely book again with Matthew.

Not my time hiring a car/limo, but first time using this company…read more The vehicle was not clean. Floors were not clean, cup holders not clean. I had requested, both verbally and in writing, that the vehicle have 4 champagne glasses and water (to be fair, I've never had to request water in a car for hire, water has always been provided). Neither were present upon pick up. (Our driver did obtain water while we were at our first drop off, which was appreciated.) Driver seemed unprepared and unsure of herself. Did not use GPS through the vehicle. Instead, used it on her phone - had verbal directions turned on which was incredibly disruptive and ruined the ambience in the vehicle. Her phone was not mounted properly so on at least two occasions, she missed turns. At our last drop off, she overshot the drop off so we walked up the block. Not a huge deal, but again, I hired a car for a reason, and the whole night missed the mark. Overall, our driver, while very nice, lacked the professionalism I am accustomed to when hiring a vehicle/limo. Honestly, I felt like I was in a mediocre Uber but paid a hired car price, which was extremely disappointing. Upon sharing my feedback with the company, an apology was offered. But I would have expected a partial refund of some sort as a reflection of the lack of service and professionalism.

Hi Mike broke but he made due by projecting his voice and we had no problem hearing him. Water was provided and the tour was thorough and extensive. I would definitely do it again!!

I experienced two tours with this company, a walking ghost tour and a trolley tour…read more Finding the departing location and tour guide for the ghost tour was challenging. Despite that, I arrived on time but other guests did not and arrived over 30 minutes late. My 1 hour ghost tour was 3 hours long. However, I really enjoyed the ghost tour guide and the content was Ok. The content of the two hour trolley tour was really informative and comprehensive but the trolley struggled to get up many of the hills in Richmond and was loud and the exhaust smelly. Having the older, southern gentleman tour guide refer to me as a yankee I did not appreciate- not because it isn't true but because I was raised in the deep south and more southern than him. Asking questions was not encouraged on the trolley tour.

Révéler is the kind of place that defies easy description, which is exactly what makes it worth…read morevisiting. The décor is wildly eclectic and definitely gives the spot a unique feel. I was there for a private event. The crowd was warm and wonderfully mixed. There was a little chat before the event began that basically told us to not get kicked out by being mean or non-inclusive. Not sure how I felt about that. Parking in Carytown is its own contact sport. Come early -- your blood pressure will thank you. I parked 6 blocks away and was lucky to get that. Bottom line: Weird, welcoming, and worth every lap around the block looking for a spot if you're into crowds and are looking for something different.

Came here with friends and it seems like a cool spot, especially for an older crowd. We purchased…read moretickets expecting a jazz experience, but the music was not jazz at all, which was a bit disappointing. The art exhibitions were nice and definitely interesting to walk through. The charcuterie board we ordered was excellent and a highlight of the night. The location is also great for nightlife. That said, the drinks didn't quite hit the mark for me, and the service was inconsistent. We were told guests are expected to be quiet during the sets, yet another group was talking loudly and nothing was addressed, which felt a bit uneven. Overall, it's not a place I'd return to, and I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for a more diverse crowd.

When I first walked into the VR experience, I had no expectations of what this place could offer…read more But after about 3-4 minutes, I had already been blown away by how amazing this place was. Katie (one of the owners) and I played a 1 vs 1 shootout game (because my father would've been motion sick) and it was a total blast. The prices were incredibly affordable and worth every penny. The game itself didn't feel like a VR game; it felt real and personalized. If I could go there every day, I would. Everyone was nice and warmly welcoming, and I hope to see this business stay open as it deserves to. If you are looking for a place to have the time of your life and you are in the area, I would 100% recommend this place!!!

Our second visit wasn't as great as our first. I'd like this place to succeed because it's…read moredifferent and fun but I think the price point is prob too high given the inconsistency of the experience. The first time we came it was on time and we loved the Dragon Tower escape room: it was the perfect mix of puzzle and action. This time we showed up 10 minutes early and they said they were running 5-10 minutes behind because of "cleaning issues". Well it turned into 20 minutes late so thankfully we already canceled our dinner reservations. I think it would've been fine if it wasn't $250 for a family of five for 38 minutes and the ninja trials escape room was not as exciting or interesting as dragon tower. Also one of the equipment pieces we were given was faulty so that made it less fun for one of us.
