4.00My first time touring Richmond went great with tour guide Jason! I learned so much about the city from the first settlers to the civil war and the rich industrial history too. Jason is truly passionate about history and engaging with tidbits that tap into the stories of the leaders who made an impact in Richmond and Virginia as a whole.
Very good introduction to history and architecture of the city center

5.00Pact with history!! Walkable, thorough and a GREAT way to understand the history and back stories rather than just showing up to monuments and reading them. It’s the stories behind the history that really make the history interesting! Felt safe and well informed! Thank you
