You can listen to the tour at https://izi.travel/en/united-states/city-guides-in-richmond. Otherwise you will need to download the free app called izi.Travel to access it. Once you do that, if you search around for tours in Richmond, VA, you’ll should find it.
If you’d like to drive or bike the route, you just need to head toward Williamsburg on Route 5 starting around Great Shiplock Park. (Or you can begin in Williamsburg and bike or drive toward Richmond). The app is Bluetooth compatible, which means it should interrupt iTunes or other audio media that may be playing when a marker approaches.
