    We had an excellent time on the tour! Our guide, Andrew, struck the perfect balance of providing an in-depth overview of Richmond's history, fun facts, and local tidbits. He did an excellent job of engaging the group, answering questions, and ensuring we walked away with a deep understanding of what makes up Richmond's story. Our driver, Clarence, was an expert navigator as well. The reservation and check-in process were a breeze, and we thought the experience was a great value. Highly recommended to anyone visiting the city!

    I loved the history of the city (early American/Civil War) our guide gave as we traveled through the city. Great sites to see. Well worth it!

    It was great. Very interesting tour and our guide was outstanding. Saw much of the city and she pointed out places we may want to visit on our own. The driver was excellent also.

  • Strongly recommend this tour for those visiting Richmond! And for residents as well.

    Enjoyed the tour - provided a lot of insights into the city. Great anecdotes about the Federal Reserve and Church Hill, in particular. Tour guide gave a comprehensive and interesting overview. Bus driver did well guiding an old historic vehicle over hilly and bumpy terrain. I would say that as we got further into the tour, the trolley did fill with the smell of fuel - which other reviewers have mentioned. Really should fix the underlying problem there - can’t be good customers, the tour guide/bus driver to be inhaling those fumes.

    Fee was fine, but the length of time needed could be extended 1/2 hour. Driver and presenter would of like the extra time to show the city of Richmond, VA. The presenter was well experienced of the city, etc. The crowd size and atmosphere was excellent. When advertising the business tour, it would be nice to explain parking areas, etc. Again could use more extended time for the tour.

  • Tour with a side of racism

    The tour started out fine, though the tour guide gave immediate incorrect historical information. Near the end of the tour he went on a soap-box sort of rant about the George Floyd protests couching them in "we all just need to get along" to cover his racism. He described the protests as "riots" and said verbatim, "A CRIMINAL was arrested," dehumanizing the man who was brutally murdered over an alleged petty crime. Also his love-letter style poetic waxing about what a great man Robert E Lee was, was uncomfortable. I prefer tours without bias or racism.
