Outstanding Tour Guide! - I have taken similar tours all over the world. This tour was outstanding! Our guide was knowledgeable, articulate, entertaining, and friendly…absolutely one of the best tour guides I have had. From this tour, my granddaughter has fallen in love with Richmond and looks forward to being a grad student at VCU this fall.

Good and informative tour - Well worth the money. I recommend taking this tour at the beginning of your stay. In additional to all the histories of the city, I got plenty of tips about where to go and what to see. Guide tour was really good. The seats of the car are quite hard so a seat cushion wouldn’t hurt.
