You only see the places with no information on what they are or what happened there. It was just basically a walk in historic district.

With a few hours to spend in Fredericksburg, we were looking for an outdoor activity in the historic section of town and this fit the bill. It was easy to follow the walking directions. The history of each location was both relevant to the individual locations and gave a lot of details about many members of George Washington’s family. This was an excellent activity for us. Some walking is on uneven sidewalks.

I am a 62 year old man & would have never guess that such technology would exist someday. I would fully recommend this tour. It was easy walking & very informative.

Great tour! The pace timing was perfect. It was nice to find a tour in a smaller town, and it covered a number of interesting historical buildings I would have overlooked.
