A good activity for people who have trouble walking around town. We boarded a trolley driven by a regular bus driver and a very knowledgeable college professor as narrator. It was a very comprehensive tour of all areas of Richmond with a great history lesson. Very enjoyable!

Tour guide was very knowledgable. She was also very friendly. I found out later that she was a University of Virginia history professor

Good orientation tour which takes you through the historical districts and Melissa’s commentary was very informative. The tour lasts about 2 hours and is packed full of interesting facts. We revisited some of the areas afterwards, as we decided that we wanted to explore some more We chose a Saturday as our tour day, which with hindsight was a good idea given that the traffic was a lot quieter than during the working week

We really enjoyed this tour of the city. We got a great overview and were able to easily locate historical sites and a museum to visit later in our trip. Melissa was very knowledgeable about Richmond and we enjoyed all the information and local stories she shared. Highly recommend.

Melissa was a fountain of information, and really good at adapting to difficult situations ( road closures due to Garden Week, and March for Life at the Capitol) The trolley driver was amazing!

I would recommend this on the first day you get there to get an overview of the city. Lots of helpful information. Only criticism I have is person narrating talked way too fast to cram all the information in.Would be nice if you could hop on/hop off.That being said,I would still recommend
