Richmond Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

This is a not to be missed tour, whether you are a first time or repeat visitor to Richmond. It was informative, entertaining, thorough and covered downtown and the surrounding neighborhoods as well as the deep history of this City. A great orientation! Maggie, our tour guide, was exceptional. Her in-depth knowledge was only surpassed by her enthusiastic personality, great story telling and passion for history. Can't give her and this tour enough stars.

We had a wonderful time on the Church Hill food tour! Jeremy was our tour guide and he had such great energy and knowledge about the area! We visited a variety of places and all the food was delicious! The portions were also generous…we even came home with leftovers! This was our second food tour in Richmond…so good!!

Had a great tour of city and Hollywood Cemetery ! Will definitely use this tour option on future trips. Can't remember 2 guys names but both were knowledgeable and entertaining ! Great experience!

The guide was absolutely excellent and made the tour extremely interesting. The travel coordinator, Sharon, called me before the tour and was very helpful to help ensure we parked in the right place and made it to the right pickup point in the terminal. It's money and time well spent to learn about the history and key visit points in Richmond.

Paul was our driver. I was the only one from out of state. He was very knowledgeable and a lot of fun. He took us wherever we wanted to go and see. We enjoyed his stories and suggestions of where to visit in the city should we come back downtown!

Excellent experience, even in the rain with no umbrella. 😊

Interesting and enjoyable tour of Richmond.! Kathy was a knowledgeable and charismatic tour guide! I would highly recommend this tour.

We had a great time. Taylor was a great you're guide. She knows a lot about the city, not just food, and we learned a lot. And the food was first rate. Highly recommend the experience.

Our guide and driver were exceptional!!!! A fun way to learn about the history and evolution of Richmond through the years. I know we saw and learned more from this jaunt through the city than we could have discovered. We were even quizzed about the cities' history, and characters. If visiting Richmond, VA, please consider the Offbeat History Tour for a fun time that expands your knowledge, and appreciation of this city.
