James River Tours

There's nothing more peaceful than perching on the banks of a river and watching the water as it makes its way downstream. Why not pack a picnic basket and spend a leisurely afternoon at James River?

Situated in Virginia, this flowing body of water is well worth a look. But you'll find loads more to see in this area. Richmond Raceway, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, and Science Museum of Virginia are within easy reach of James River.
