Our guide, Jeff, is a retired history professor. He was so knowledgeable and passionate about Richmond history. We are new to the area, and didn't know a lot (outside of what we learned in American History class) about the role that Richmond played in both the founding of this country and in the Civil War. Jeff explained Richmond's role, as well as how the city became to be as we know it today. I would recommend this tour to anyone who is not familiar with the city's history.

We had a pretty private tour (as a couple) and our guide was able to go into greater detail, responding to our questions. Ray was phenomenal and very knowledgeable.

Great discussion about Civil War. Tour guide answered my questions. Tre told me about the "Lost Cause," narrative. As a Civil War buff this was extremely interesting to me. And even encouraged me to learn more about the subject.
