GUIDED HISTORY BASED TOURS of RICHMOND, VIRGINIA
Greetings. We are the RICHMOND TOUR GUYS. Established in 2014, we have evolved from a one‐man “show” presenting “Tip‐based, Free tours” to a highly regarded tour company whose guides enjoy telling the Richmond story, one tour at a time. We continue to reimagine, enhance and improve our tours, presenting Public and a broad selection of Private tours in Virginia’s
most historic city and are proud to offer the original and most popular City Center Down town Tour as our singular Public Tour.
You will be captivated by the colorful stories of Richmond’s past and marvel at the hip city it has become. Our tours are acclaimed by locals and visitors alike who discover fun, history‐based stories and embrace ways to experience the River City like never before. The RICHMOND TOUR GUYS are the perfect way to discover why Frommer’s said “While you weren’t looking, Richmond got cool,” and why Richmond was named the No.1 “America’s Best Town to Visit” for 2024 by CNN.
Explore the Capital City of Virginia, America’s Mother Colony with the Richmond Tour Guys guided tours, each distinct and filled with stories, anecdotes based on historic fact and at times, popular fables and yarns. All are woven together to entertain and enlighten.
We have curated a collection of tours beginning with a redesigned Downtown Walking Tour, now our singular Public Downtown Tour, presented twice‐a‐day during the public season. In addition, we now offer a series of Private Tours, to allow for a greater selection of Walking, Driving, or a combination of tours. Additionally, we offer Custom, Specialty and Seasonal tours as well as Half‐Day, Full‐Day, and Multi‐Day tours. Tour Choices that are listed as under scored below are links to their section.
