    The day was in the high 80’s and very humid. There was no A/C just ceiling fans. No windows down. It was just very uncomfortable, The guide was very knowledgeable and impressive. He told very interesting stories. The one negative..he spoke too fast. I didn’t want to miss anything he said but it was hard to relax and enjoy trying to concentrate on what was said.

    This historic Downtown Richmond tour with RVA Trolley was my Father's Day gift to my dad. Our family prioritizes gifting experiences over physical items. The tour was outstanding and highly recommended! The guide was very knowledgable and endearing. My favorite thing that I learned on the tour was how Richmond got it's name! My only complaint is that the tour did not offer any built in breaks for guests to stand and stretch their legs. The seats were uncomfortable, and the trolley was hot (as it is the middle of summer in Virginia). I noticed that it wasn't only myself and my husband who were wiggling around in our seats. After an hour or so, I noticed that many of the guests seemed uncomfortable. A planned break in the middle of the tour would have offered guests an opportunity to get out and see the landmarks up close and alleviate some pain associated with sitting on wooden seats for too long.

    Lots of great information and history. Great ride however there was NO air conditioning. False advertising and they should have been transparent. Was too hot and uncomfortable to enjoy the experience. Would be much better during cooler weather.
