Linda was excellent driver in the city driving very skillful and professional. Melissa was an excellent guide. Interesting and friendly. You see a large portion of Richmond & it’s different areas. Enjoyed it Love that it is done in a trolley.
My wife and I use a trolley tour at every city we visit. They provide a great snapshot of facts and places to visit. Most are open air and hop on/off which is very nice. Richmond was closed in, AC did not work and they did not offer on/off. The tour was worth the cost but disappointing with AC and no on/off.
Rachel was one of THE BEST tour guides of any tour I have ever been on. Very knowledgeable, and shared that knowledge in an interesting way. Thank You!
We loved the tour. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and our drive, Clarence, was experienced with ALL the VCU move in traffic.
Where departing from. Meeting place directions given on voucher is not correct. Cushions on seats would greatly be appreciated due to cobblestones and potholes.
Melissa was our tour guide. She did a fantastic job describing the history of Richmond. We would recommend this tour to anyone.
Tour guide Melissa was fun and top-notch! Interesting facts on Richmond’s 400 year history focusing on the James River, Revolution, Civil War, architecture plus current day observations. Suggest bringing a seat pad for comfort as the trolley has hard wooden seats!
We found the tour a great way to see things we wouldn’t have known to check out. The guide was fantastic, she was entertaining, informative and very knowledgeable.
This was a very nice tour of Richmond, Rachel, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and informative, Jonathan, our driver, drove safely and stopped where we needed to. We learned the history of Richmond and saw the beautiful sights, thank you Rachel & Jonathan👍👍👍
Awesome! I learned a ton about the city and had a great time. I went with my husband and kids and they all enjoyed it
