I think our driver was Dan. He was very nice and made the trip very nice

Dave was an excellent guide. The trip was well worth it.
Dave was an amazing tour guide. We learned so much and it helped plan out the rest of our trip.
Was fun and informative, the guide was knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor which made it even better! I highly recommend!!
If you only have time for one tour this is the one. Leaves from the Visitors Center in Fredericksburg and the driver will give you all the history of early Fredericksburg and it is fascinating. TIPS Super, Super crowded in town starting May through September and gets very hot. Pick another time to go. And no matter what time you go do not even try for a parking space on Main Street. Go to the streets behind paralleling Main Street
I didn't expect to have to board and reboard on this short 1hr 45min tour. But it was a fortunate thing as the bench seats were curved wood, leaning backwards and too small. They honestly seemed like children's seats. The leaned-back aspect made it hard to sit up straight and see things. Since it was a tight fit with 2 adults, the metal ridged windows didn't help - you couldn't rest one arm along it as there was no ledge,just the metal frame biting into your arm.
This was an excellent tour! I would have enjoyed additional time on this tour. It was extremely informative and well worth our time! Our tour guide Dave was top notch!!
Awesome historical tour of Fredsburg with a knowledgeable tour guide and a great trolley car ride! We had multiple stops and photo opportunities. I will take all of my out of town company on this day trip. 😊
This was a huge disappointment. After waiting and waiting, the trolley never came and we left. Hopefully my money will be refunded.
Our tour guide was great and shared so many stories and tidbits about this town…..would love to go back and just walk up and down the streets!
We thoroughly enjoyed the tour Highly recommend if you want to learn more about the area So much information provided outside of the main street shopping Start with this tour and then decide how you want to spend your day
Well worth the time. Learned a lot about Fredericksburg. Our tour guide Dave was amazing and knowledgeable, he even played a pump organ!
We had a great time. The driver was very knowledgeable. He gave us great suggestions to visit after the tour which we did. He talked about the da peach haus and we went there after the tour. Loved that place. Great time
They canceled our trip that morning stating lack of participation. We drove over 100 miles to visit. The website says likey to sell out? Wow, very disappointed. The next trip should be free.
Great ride around town, got to see where all the main spots were and little bit of history. Dave our guide was great and very informative.
Dave Schafer was outstanding. What a fun and informative tour. Dave hit all the right notes. I would highly recommend this tour.
Dan, our driver, was the best commentator. He was ver knowledgeable and nice. We would highly recommend this experience. He took us on a historical trip of Fredericksburgs TX.
Loved all the history and the interesting houses/buildings around the city! We took this tour on our 1st day in Fredericksburg, so that helped us know what sights to visit!
Even those of us who might think,ugh a history tour, can findcthe tour pretty interesting and informative. And find ourselves enjoying the tour with our family. Good for the fit and able as well as those for whom sitting a spell is welcome.
I would highly recommend taking this tour and hopefully Dave will be your Tour Guide! Very informative trip filled with great historical facts filled with great humor. I usually do not take these types of tours but my wife really wanted to go. I am so glad I went with her and I will probably be more willing to do more of tours in the future. Spend the $ and enjoy the tour....Hope you get Dave as your guide!!
This was a fun and very informative tour. My family and I really enjoyed it even though we had to wait for late comers.
David did a wonderful narrated tour about Fredericksburg. This helped us to determine what we wanted to do and see for the rest of the day. So much history for a small town.
Michelle was fantastic. She set a great tone for our trip. She knew the type of information that you would not find on a normal google search. The tour proceeded despite only five people on the trip, and we were upgraded (at no cost) to the boutique wine experience (cush van and high end wineries). The food was good, wine was great, and by the end we were all friends. As someone that does did not know much about Texas grapes, growing, or winemaking in general, I could not have enjoyed this trip the same way without Michelle as a tour guide. I learned a lot and the experience was more than worth the price.
I learned a lot about the city of Fredericksburg and our tour guide was amazing. Very knowledgeable. We enjoyed the tour immensely.
The tour was an excellent overview of the community and where things are located. The tour guide was OUTSTANDING and did an excellent job of being informative and proud of his community.
We only had a day in Frederickberg and wanted to see as much as possible. We parked at the Wolfe Street parking garage so it was only a ten minute walk to the visitor center where the trolley picks you up. There are public washrooms behind the center which were clean. Since the tour lasts 1 hour 15 minutes, you may want to use them. Heidi did an excellent job driving and explaining the history of Fredericksberg. We drove by beautiful homes, different neighbourhoods, civil war sites, various museums as well as the river. We learned of some of the people who helped make Fredericksberg what it is today. Time flew by and we were never bored. We know we will have to come back again to further explore this beautiful town with 40 blocks of buildings on the historical list. Great tour and well worth the cost. You can book on line in advance or in the visitor center.
Good tour guide. Lots of information in a short amount of time. Tour guide was knowledgeable and really enjoyed his job.
Excellent tour! Tour guide (Dave) was extremely knowledgable and personable. Just the right mix of trolley time and stops to explore.
We had an excellent guide! David Schafer is very knowledgeable and continues to learn more about the area and its amazing history. He made the tour a great 2-hour experience that was over too quickly!
The guide had a lot of good information on the town and history and it gave you a good layout of what to go and do later in the weekend. It was very enjoyable.
Dave was our tour guide and he was amazing!! Told us so much information about the town it made us realize we need more than three days to see everything!!
We originally signed up for the City Trolley Tour but were the only ones on that tour and was asked to switch to the Historical Tour. I am so glad we did. It was so very interesting and our driver, Dan, was excellent! I highly recommend this tour.
Betty our tour guide was amazing! Her personal stories and history of Fredericksburg was very engaging and entertaining 😊. We all loved the personal touch. Will recommend to all!
Amazing guide. Dave knows the history and tells it in interesting format. He is educated, fun and displays a great passion for Fredericksburg!
Our tour guide was friendly & VERY informative. He did a good job on his research! He had nice cold bottled water for us and Kept checking to see if the temperature was right for all of us! He’s very good at telling all the information while doing a good job at driving.
Never a dull moment! Dave was full of information concerning the history, the present, and the best places to visit while we were in Fredericksburg.
I enjoyed touring the old part of the city, but thought that finding out about where the laundry mat and a few other places were was a waste of time.
Dave was a very knowledgeable tour guide. We had a great time and learned a lot about the city. Thank you!
Our driver in Fredericksburg was very knowledgeable and friendly. We had a very enjoyable ride. Worth your money.
Excellent tour of historical district with insightful information. I would recommend for anyone to lean more about the town’s history.
Excellent tour guide provided so much history and made the tour so interesting and educational. Would highly recommend
The trolley was our first stop upon arriving in Fredericksburg for a girlfriends trip. The tour gave us some insights and overview of the town. It really helped us to plan out our stay over a wonderful glass of wine. Dave went above and beyond with patience, information, and enthusiasm.
Tour guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant. Really enjoyed the history and tips of places to visit and dine.
A very decent experience for a first timer at Fredericksburg. Dave was very patient and knowledgeable of the local history !
Great experience! Very enjoyable and informative. Our driver/ host was charming, engaging and helpful.
This should be something all first time visitors should be required to do! Not only do you get history and some things explained (like a Sunday house) but you learn the layout of the city. It was so helpful in our other fun! Dave was very knowledgeable and friendly. Thought we could handle the winery thing on our own but next time, we will take that tour as well!
We really enjoyed our tour and would recommend that you do this first to see where all the options are. We ran out of time but have lots of places we want to go to upon our return.
The tour guide, Dave, was very knowledgeable and made the trip a pleasant experience. Taking this tour helped us to plan our activities for the rest of our stay. ☺️
Enjoyed our tour guide's commentary - very interesting and informative. I personally was glad that St. Barnabas Episcopal Church was spotlighted - I later attended a service.
Getting to see the whole town and hearing the history at the same time. Thanks for the information. I loved it.
