Fall Family Fun: Be A Tourist In Your Own City

Looking for a new, leisurely way to see your city? Consider playing tourist for the day and book an e-bike or segway tour of Richmond through RVA on Wheels to see your home base in a new light. Take a ride through historic Hollywood Cemetery, or segway in the footsteps of famous femmes with the Women of Richmond tour. With plenty of neighborhood and landmark tours across the River City, there’s sure to be an outing that suits your interests. 

If you’re looking for something a bit more adventurous- kayak, canoe, or tube your way down the James with rentals from James River Outfitters. For river floats, 2, 5, and 22-mile trips are available, so no matter what your comfort level is, there is a trip perfectly suited for you. James River Outfitters also offers camping and glamping options, so make a weekend out of the excursion and let the stress of the digital world float away. 

For those looking for more self-guided jaunts, there are plenty of walking tour options available. Sites like GPS My City provide free suggested historical and cultural sightseeing tours across the city to enjoy at your leisure. Tours are coordinated through their mobile app, providing maps and background information on each site to ensure you get the most out of your visits. GPS My City also allows you to create your own custom route along sights that interest you, for a tour perfectly tailored to your interests.
