Richmond’s Riverfront Canal Cruise
& Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden
Richmond, Virginia
Join Gunther Tours for a delightful day trip to Richmond, Virginia, featuring two of the area's most popular attractions: Riverfront Canal Cruises and Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden. Upon arrival, we board Riverfront Canal Cruises for a fascinating journey through the city’s rich history and vibrant present. Sit back and relax as you enjoy a fully narrated cruise along the historic James River and Kanawha Canal, a waterway originally envisioned by George Washington. Traveling aboard an authentic covered 32-foot flat-bottomed boat, you will hear stories spanning centuries of Richmond's history — from Chief Powhatan's Chiefdom to the world's first commercially successful electric streetcar system. Along the way, view Richmond's famous Triple Crossing railroad, historic tobacco warehouses transformed into trendy lofts, the scenic Canal Walk, the Virginia Capital Trail, Low Line Gardens, and abundant wildlife along the James River. Following our cruise, we continue to the beautiful Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden for a delicious lunch and guided garden tour. Enjoy the company of fellow travelers while dining on a seasonal buffet lunch featuring two homemade soups, a specialty salad, assorted finger sandwiches, rolls and crackers, cookies for dessert, and coffee and iced tea. After lunch, a trained volunteer Garden Guide will lead us on an informative tour of this magnificent property. Learn about the garden's rich history while exploring its many themed areas, including the Children's Garden, Rose Garden, Healing Garden, Sunken Garden, Asian Valley, and Victorian Garden. You will also visit the spectacular classical domed Conservatory, one of the garden's most iconic landmarks. Before departing, enjoy free time browsing the Garden Shop, which offers a wonderful selection of gardening accessories, home décor, jewelry, fashion items, books, gifts, educational toys, soaps, lotions, and much more.
