We’re Erin and Brian – owners of Discover Richmond Tours in our hometown of Richmond, Virginia! Since starting that full-time tour business in 2015, we’ve used our time off to travel as often as we can. The pandemic, and the arrival of our son (now two years old in 2023), changed the way we travel – a lot.
Now, we spend more time in a single destination, which means getting to know it like the locals do (as best we can). Favorite restaurants that we visit over and over again? Of course! Near-daily trips to the nearest grocery store? Yep. In-depth knowledge of the city’s playgrounds and their pros and cons? That, too.
We’ve always found self-guided tours to be…boring. A giant wall of text, like reading the wikipedia page for whatever historic site you’re looking at. And scavenger hunts are too non-specific. Sure, it’s fun to solve puzzles and riddles, but what does that have to do with Buenos Aires?
So we created Trivia Walks to bridge the gap: they’re fun and interactive, and you’ll be challenged to answer trivia questions about the city you’re playing in. Some answers are easy to find, some are not. Plus, you’ll learn about that city without being bored to tears, giving you a flavor of what you’re seeing. And it’s all meant to be done at your pace, fast or slow.
Give them a try! Each Trivia Walk was made by us, tourism professionals who personally visited these locations, and spent hours making sure they are the right balance of fun, entertainment, adventure, and challenge.
