We had a trolley good time! - We were greeted by Dave when we arrived. We ended up being the only ones on the trolley. Dave was so very knowledgeable & you could tell he loved history & sharing it. Unfortunately our trolley broke down BUT Dave was grace under pressure!! They picked us up in a van & we were on our way again! Highly recommend!

Seeing the sights in air conditioning! - Our narrator and guide, Dave, provided interesting and informative details about the formation of Fredericksburg. Tour stops included a couple of churches, one of them being the Colored Christian Episcopal Methodist Church. We were fortunate that one the descendents of the family that built the church was onsite that day and had a major role in the restoration. I highly recommend this tour.

10 out of 10 - Tour guide was gracious, personable and knowledgeable. Great way to see the city. We were running late due to not being familiar with the area; Dave called to check in with us and even waited a couple minutes for us to arrive.
