5.00Outstanding tour with Jeffrey! Even after living in Northern Virginia for 25 years, I learned so much about the history of Virginia—especially Richmond. Jeffrey’s knowledge is incredibly deep, and he shares it in such a thoughtful, engaging, and approachable way. The tour was both informative and enjoyable from start to finish. I left with a much greater appreciation for the area’s history. I definitely plan to come back and take another one of his tours. Highly recommend—don’t hesitate to book!
