Great way to spend a lazy Saturday morning getting to know a bit about the history of Richmond. Ray was a knowledgeable guide who knows how to tell history as a story rather than stale set of names and dates. Learned quite a bit about the city.

The walking tour was one of the best I've experienced. Jeff, our guide, was incredibly knowledgable and was able to provide many interesting factoid and color commentary. He packed a lot into a very interesting 2 and 1/2 hours.
