The premier tour company in Hampton Roads

 

From cruise ship excursions, to motocoach trips, to conferences, and local tours, we cover it all. Let our experienced team take care of the logistics, and you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the tour.

Norfolk Tour Company is a walking tour and bus tour business headquartered in Downtown Norfolk and founded in 2018. All of our experiences focus on the food, history, art, and architecture of our region. 

We create more than just tours; we offer receptive services for groups, lecture programs, and consulting services as well. Our mission is to enrich the cultural fabric of Hampton Roads through interesting tour programs, excellent customer service, and unique events.

Shore excursions, motorcoach travel, non-profits, church groups, conference and meeting activities — we provide service to every type of group.

Norfolk Tour Company has researched and developed tours for organizations such as the Chrysler Museum of Art, Norfolk’s historic cemeteries, the NEON District, and the City of Suffolk. We also work closely with Downtown Norfolk Council, Visit Norfolk, and a host of local businesses and restaurants. Please contact us for more information on consulting services or tour research + development.

Walking Tours

Our guides have led more than hundreds of walking tours of Hampton Roads sites, including the NEON District, Elizabeth River Trail, the Historic Freemason Neighborhood, Downtown Norfolk, historic churches, the Ghent Neighborhood, and more. We also offer ghost tours and food tours!
