Great trip around Jackson Ward, Capital of the Confederacy, and other Richmond spots. We have lived in RVA for years, and finally decided to take a tour and learn a little more about it. Jeff did a great job to customize the tour, make it extra special to local's, and is full of knowledge.

The tour was really nice and Ray, the guide, was great and knowledgeable. I would just add a better description to make it clear that the tour focuses solely on Church Hill and not other parts of the city.

The entire tour was exceptional. The history of Edgar Allen Poe and :the information that was of particular interest to me about Mary Bowser was great.
