It was great. Very interesting tour and our guide was outstanding. Saw much of the city and she pointed out places we may want to visit on our own. The driver was excellent also.

Tour guide Andrew was amazing and extremely knowledgeable about civil war history & answered every question we asked.

Enjoyed the tour - provided a lot of insights into the city. Great anecdotes about the Federal Reserve and Church Hill, in particular. Tour guide gave a comprehensive and interesting overview. Bus driver did well guiding an old historic vehicle over hilly and bumpy terrain.
I would say that as we got further into the tour, the trolley did fill with the smell of fuel - which other reviewers have mentioned. Really should fix the underlying problem there - can’t be good customers, the tour guide/bus driver to be inhaling those fumes.

This is a very thorough tour of the city of Richmond. You will see highlights and learn much about the history in a relaxed mode of transportation, the trolley. The guide was informative and well first in all areas of Richmond history
