Our guide Andrew was great! We throughly enjoyed his training us on the use of a Segway. His knowledge was incredible and the history we learned was fantastic. I recommend this tour to anyone. We are 60 years old and were unsure about the Segway but that was an additional fun part. Did I mention how much Andrew took care of everybody? He knows his history and was very professional This tour is worth your time and reasonable cost.

Andrew , our tour guide , is profoundly knowledgeable of Virginia war history and its characters. He is very articulate , efficient and careful of his customers. The preliminary training was perfect without much dilation, then followed 2 solid hours of fun- filled rising mixed with beautiful views intermingled with the best history lesson about the historic figures that rest at the Hollywood. Well done, Andrew! Highly recommend- for visitors from out of town as well as locals!

Andrew was fantastic. His knowledge of the history of the cemetery, the city and how it related to the history of the US. Plus the Segway made it possible to see so much more than you could on foot.

Our tour guide was very patient making, sure the entire group of segway novices was trained and comfortable. We were a large group and he took the time to work with everyone and made sure we still saw all the highlights at Hollywood Cemetery. Highly recommend this tour as a fun way to see this sight and to be confident on a segway.

Our guide Andrew did a wonderful job of leading us through Hollywood and teaching us the history of the cemetery as well as some of the historical significant people buried there.

We arrived on Memorial Day and the graves were all decorated. Over 3000 confederate dead had been relocated here after the civil war. We drove thru the whole cemetery and saw many memorable monuments. Three presidents are buried there: James Monroe, John Tyler and Jefferson Davis. along with many famous generals from the Civil War.
