4.00There isn't much to do in Richmond; but as a solo traveler visiting the city for business, I would recommend the two-hour tour.

5.00Kathy was a wonderful tour guide who grew up in Richmond. She provided her insights from growing up in Richmond along with more history of the city and its sights. I enjoyed exploring more of the downtown area, Capitol Square, Jackson Ward, and getting more information about Virginia’s state capital more broadly. During this 2-hour walking tour, I learned so much about Richmond and I would recommend this tour to anyone coming to Richmond for their first time.
Highly Recommend!
