Summary: We wanted a couple hour tour of the main historical sites in Richmond. RVA Trolley tour accomplished this with our knowledgeable and personable guide, Melissa and her driver. We will be back to tour some of the sites in more depth. I would highly recommend this as a starting point for anyone visiting.
