“We enjoyed a fantastic walking tour with Kathy yesterday. Even with the heavy rain and wind, Kathy remained positive and shared a wealth of fascinating history about Richmond, particularly its downtown area and development. There were insights we wouldn't have discovered otherwise, and it was great to learn from a local. Thank you! B&L from Annapolis.”— lynnedD5722WE on the Richmond downtown walking tour tour
