We highly recommend taking a tour with The Richmond Tour Guys! We inquired about an architecture/history tour of Richmond for my son's birthday, and both Jeff and Ray were willing to accommodate and personalize this request. Our family enjoyed a tour of both downtown and Church Hill. We had 2 adults and 6 children under the age of 12, with the youngest being 3. Ray provided each of us with earbuds to help drown out much of the city noise and keep everyone's attention. He was captivating - asking the kids questions and offering extra tidbits for my husband and I to enjoy. He was very knowledgable of both the architecture and history of the city with many stories to bring the historical people of Richmond to life in a way that make them so much more memorable. He also shared information about current happenings in and around Richmond. The pace of information and the amount of walking was just right for our crew. He had a restroom break timed perfectly - about halfway through our downtown tour. Ray was flexible and happy to answer questions that were off script, as well as not getting distracted when our youngest guys offered the opportunity. Ray was also very thoughtful in offering to do our tour a day after it was originally scheduled to avoid 20 degree windchill. We had an incredible tour experience with The Richmond Tour Guys! If you have the opportunity to take a tour in Richmond, please reach out to Ray and Jeff. They truly have so much to offer!
