10 out of 10 - Tour guide was gracious, personable and knowledgeable. Great way to see the city. We were running late due to not being familiar with the area; Dave called to check in with us and even waited a couple minutes for us to arrive.

Fredericksburg Facts - It was our first time to visit Fredericksburg. We walked the main street and visited the museum the first day, watched the total eclipse the second day, and, at the last minute, booked this tour! The trolley is a comfortable ride, and Dave is a fantastic tour guide! He took us to many places that we hadn't seen. He was very knowledgeable about the community. Highly recommend!

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.

Viator great. Fredricksburg decision to use a can vs the trolley not so good! - In terms of Viator - perfect! As always!!! Quite disappointed we got a blue “people van” vs a trolley. Definitely impacted our impression of what we were hoping for. Know this was not a Viator issue but more of a Fredricksburg trolley decision. Still disapppinting. Tour guide (Rebecca) was very good.
