Private Sightseeing Tour by Electric Cart in Richmond
Things to know
About the Activity
Our N.E.V.s, or "Neighborhood Electric Vehicles", are the best way to tour Richmond! They provide a low-speed, open-air ride so that you can experience Richmond's beautiful architecture, murals, and historical sights with the intimacy of a walking tour, but still enjoy the speed and comfort of a vehicle. Unlike many other companies, your guide will be an official Richmond "I am Tourism" Ambassador. To become IAT certified your guide underwent 6 weeks of training from Richmond Regional Tourism, receiving instruction from historians and experts across a wide cross-section of Richmond's incredibly rich history and culture. Your Richmond Ambassor will tell you facts and stories about must-see locations, and many hidden gems you may never have thought to visit including Historic St. John's Church, The Virginia Capital Building, Hollywood Cemetary, The Fan District, The Canal Walk, Shockoe Slip and so much more! All Ambassadors use an amplifier to ensure a great audio experience!1 hour 45 minutes
