3.00If you are a history buff and you would love to learn about Fredericksburg in excruciating detail, this is the tour for you. Not what I expected. I wanted to see more scenery and historical buildings and not just sit on the trolley while the guide talked and pointed and showed pictures on the iPad. We only stopped to walk around at 3 churches in the two hours of the tour
