James river - Our guide had a shining personality. She was knowledgeable, answered our questions and kept with our pace! I would recommend

Great guide- would highly recommend - Great hike. Guide was very pleasant and extremely knowledgeable. Only complaint would be is the address that was given was very confusing. Even the Uber driver couldn’t figure it out. Fortunately we had gone early so we were able to figure it out and show up on time.

A different way to experience Richmond - Worked with Brian (the owner) on creating a private walking tour that was on our travel schedule, pace and interests. He was super responsive and found the perfect guide to show us around. Erin was our tour guide and was very personable, made the tour a lot of fun and kept things going at our pace as requested. She provided just the right amount of history of the area and things we were looking at along the tour. It was neat to see and experience things that Richmond has right in town that most tourists would probably just overlook. It's a fun way to enjoy the outdoors, the peacefulness of walking on the shaded trails, learning a bit about Richmond as well as enjoying great views of the River. Unfortunately, we weren't in town long enough to enjoy their food tour that they also offer - but will definitely do that next time in the area. Thanks Brian & Erin.

Worth it! - I signed up for this alone. Alittle nervous. Wanted to do something diff and check out RVA! Sooooo glad I went. As soon as I stepped out of my car I met our tour guide, Svetla, who was so nice and welcoming! There’s was one other couple coming w us and once I met them, we were fast friends! I highly recommend this! I would go again! I’ve lived here 15 yrs and didn’t know most of the history she was telling us! Super cool tour, awesome leader, and now some new friends!! What a great day! 10/10!!

Hiking in Winter Can Be Great! - Erin was a wonderful guide, knowledgeable and cheerful. We got the sunny day we were hoping for, and the hike was exactly the right length and level of exercise. The James River is a treasure, and it was interesting to learn of all the many uses, both recreational and cultural, that the city has found for the shores and islands. I am eager to experience the trails in the different seasons. We highly recommend this tour.

Amazing guided hike! - The hike was amazing! The guide was very informative and added to the experience of the views. She was knowledgeable and very invested in our enjoyment of the experience. Please consider booking this hike or another to learn more about the area!

Awesome hike and new places discovered! - This hike was awesome! Wonderful tour of the area around the James River, not too short or too long...just right. I've lived in RVA my entire life and found new trails and places on this hike. Tour guide was super friendly and shared great info about the places we visited. I plan to do this again, as the views will change with each season. Thanks!

A fun adventure! - We had so much fun exploring along the James River in areas that we would have never discovered on our own. There were so many interesting things to see!

Perfect outing, even for the most seasoned Richmonder. - Such a fantastic way to start the New Year! Richmond is lucky to have such a phenomenal park system - a natural oasis in the heart of the city. Discover Richmond does a great job not only connecting folks to nature, but connecting them to the history of the city. We've explored the James River and its green spaces many times on our own, but there is nothing like having a guide tell you all the interesting tidbits.

Both park and urban experience - A guided hike was a great way to see some of Richmond’s park system and parts of its urban landscape as well. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and looked after all our our small group’s needs.
