    I'm a former Richmond native. Brought out of town family members to do this tour. Even I learned things about the city I didn't know. Melissa, our guide was very knowledgeable. Tour is approximately 2 hours. It was great that they offer senior discount on tickets. Only negatives, parking in downtown is terrible and when using the nearby parking decks, the cost is ridiculous. The other negative is that all the beautiful monuments have been removed along Monument Ave. Very sad.

  • Super tour!

    We learned so much about Richmond’s history! It was great! Our guide was very enthusiastic about pointing out the older buildings but also highlighting fun activities that happen in Richmond now.

    This was SO much fun. Got to see beautiful and amazing history, learned so much and really enjoyed ourselves. The only issue was the noise. We sat in the back of the trolley and you could hear some sort of motor which made it hard to hear the host.

  • Great Tour, Great Guide, Great Way to See Richmond!

    We had a fantastic experience on this tour with our family and couldn’t recommend it more. From start to finish, everything was seamless! Our tour guide, Rachel, was absolutely outstanding. She was incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about the history of Richmond, which made the stories and details come alive. We learned so much and stayed engaged the entire time. The trolley ride itself was great as well! KP, our driver, was excellent and made the ride comfortable and enjoyable. It was the perfect way to see the city while soaking in its rich history. Overall, a wonderful experience for all ages and a must-do if you want to truly understand Richmond’s past.

    A friend and I traveled to Williamsburg first. We had reserved the trolley for Wednesday, Dec. 10 at 10:30 a.m. On Dec. 9 we were informed the tour was cancelled due to to some side streets being affected by snow on Dec. 8. We were rescheduled for the same time on Dec. 11 so we completely changed our travel plans to accommodate. Then, we were informed on Dec. 10 that because not enough people signed up for the rescheduled tour on the 11th, it was also cancelled. We left on Dec. 12 and didn’t get to take the tour. Although I have asked, to date I have not received notification that our money has been refunded.
