Fabulous time in Fredericksburg - We thoroughly enjoyed Dave, our tour guide. He was so knowledgeable and enthused about Fredericksburg history, and gave us a detailed tour of the city. The highlight of our tour was the stop at the black church. Gary was very informative and gave us a lot of information about the restoration of the building and the grounds. The entire experience was most memorable for us and our guests from Wisconsin.

One of the best tours ever! - Our narrator was Wonderful. Very knowledgeable, informative and funny. He is a retired US National Park ranger, history major and has roots in the area so he could tell all sorts of stories and historical anecdotes. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Two hours went by fast!

Insightful - This tour was so insightful. I knew Fredericksburg was a German found city. I just didn't realize how right of a history it was.

Disappointed with Fredericksburgs (over priced event) - During the busiest week (Eclipse) of Fredericksburg we asked to cancel our tour due to weather conditions. We were told if someone else booked, we would receive a refund. Obviously with the large crowds, someone else would have booked. Of course, we did not receive a refund as promised. We already lost $500.00 with another event planned there. (Way overpriced). Obviously these events were only planned to schedule overpriced events to visitors coming to see what was thought yo be a beautiful, friendly location. We will now be canceling our planned trip to Fredericksburgs this fall with friends.
