In terms of Viator - perfect! As always!!! Quite disappointed we got a blue “people van” vs a trolley. Definitely impacted our impression of what we were hoping for. Know this was not a Viator issue but more of a Fredricksburg trolley decision. Still disapppinting. Tour guide (Rebecca) was very good.

It was our first time to visit Fredericksburg. We walked the main street and visited the museum the first day, watched the total eclipse the second day, and, at the last minute, booked this tour! The trolley is a comfortable ride, and Dave is a fantastic tour guide! He took us to many places that we hadn't seen. He was very knowledgeable about the community. Highly recommend!

Kathy_H

I enjoyed the entire tour. I have been to Fredericksburg many times but I learned new things about the area and saw new things

Diana_C

Tour guide/driver was knowledgeable about the area and very informative. Great way to learn about your surroundings in a stress free environment.

Wayne_G

The bus was great and the driver/guide was excellent! We thoroughly enjoyed the ride and commentary. Much better than expected!

Karin_H

We thoroughly enjoyed Dave, our tour guide. He was so knowledgeable and enthused about Fredericksburg history, and gave us a detailed tour of the city. The highlight of our tour was the stop at the black church. Gary was very informative and gave us a lot of information about the restoration of the building and the grounds. The entire experience was most memorable for us and our guests from Wisconsin.

During the busiest week (Eclipse) of Fredericksburg we asked to cancel our tour due to weather conditions. We were told if someone else booked, we would receive a refund. Obviously with the large crowds, someone else would have booked. Of course, we did not receive a refund as promised. We already lost $500.00 with another event planned there. (Way overpriced). Obviously these events were only planned to schedule overpriced events to visitors coming to see what was thought yo be a beautiful, friendly location. We will now be canceling our planned trip to Fredericksburgs this fall with friends.

Absolutely wonderful tour. Seeing the historic buildings, listening to the interesting stories and visiting the lovely black church and hearing the grandson speak about its history was so special. Highly recommend!

LisaDGT

Our narrator was Wonderful. Very knowledgeable, informative and funny. He is a retired US National Park ranger, history major and has roots in the area so he could tell all sorts of stories and historical anecdotes. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Two hours went by fast!
