4.00My wife and daughter went on a tour with the founder of the company, Eugene. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Fredericksburg and is excited to share his knowledge with others. He has just hired a new guide, so I can't say your experience will be the same. If you get Eugene, be prepared to walk at a brisk pace. And pay attention, as he has so many facts and photos intermingled with the sites, that I was at times a little confused as to how they fit together. Stay close, because at times it was hard to hear with the sounds of the city all around. But overall, a good experience.
Great tour

5.00This was a very informative tour around downtown Fredericksburg. Eugene was passionate about the information & even shared some of his own personal ghost stories. He was also willing to start our tour 30 minutes early to attempt to avoid some rainy weather. All in all a fun group activity while visiting Fredericksburg.

5.00Walking tour was better than I had hoped learned a lot about the. Revolutionary war time, Fredericksburg and the important part. Fredericksburg played in Virginia at the time. These are things I did not know. I was only familiar with the relationship to the Civil War that Fredericksburg had. Our guide was fantastic
Enjoyable walk around Fredericksburg with a knowledgeable tour guide
