Tour was excellent! Matt was great! Lots of great knowledge and a good variety of sites around the city. Tailored the tour to our interest!

We spent a relaxing and fun afternoon being driven around Richmond by Matthew! The tour he gave was very informative and he really knew his Richmond history. We saw many areas of Richmond, and enjoyed seeing the architecture, neighborhoods and learning historical facts. We learned so much! Our favorite was driving through the Hollywood Cemetery and seeing the graves of famous people buried there and beautiful views. I imagine the cemetery would be absolutely gorgeous in the spring when all the magnolias trees blossom! The electric cart was comfortable and safe, and Matthew had a microphone so we had no trouble hearing him. Overall, this experience was well worth the time and money and we highly recommend this! Thank you, Matthew!

Excellent experience! We learned so much about Richmond’s rich history and saw much of the architecture, landmarks and places of great historical significance. Our tour guide, Matthew, was highly knowledgeable and personable and very accommodating, encouraging us to stop to take pictures and see views whenever we wanted. The heats were seated too, keeping us comfortable in February. Only con was with the cart covering at times it was difficult to see the higher structures without lifting it or craning your neck. Not a deal breaker though- would still highly recommend!
