A Step Through Time (A Texas Experience) - Dave the driver was excellent. We saw areas of Fredericksburg we never would have seen. The history of the early settlers was over whelming regarding their ability to adapt and overcome the environment. Dave also mentioned the architecture of the area and how it evolved from the different indigenous materials. It was a wonderful visit through time.

Wonderful tour with Dave - Our tour of historical Fredericksburg with guide Dave was outstanding. Dave had so much knowledge of the history of Fredericksburg which revealed his own enthusiasm for the area. Our visit to the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church and the testimony told by Gary about his family's commitment to preservation were touching and critical to understanding the history of Fredericksburg and the early German settlers. Bravo to the Fredericksburg community for maintaining and honoring its past through architecture and culture.

Fredericksburg’s History - The tour of Fredericksburg Historical District was informative. The tour guide was knowledgeable and provided us with details about the city that we probably would have not discovered on our own. I recommend that you take this tour on the first day of your visit.
