Barbie made sure that we had a great time. She is very knowledgeable about the history and everything about Williambsburg and, made sure that we came out from our tour a lot more familiar with our country's history. The tour was definitely one of the highlights in our tour and would strongly recommend it to anyone looking to maximize their experience while visiting this wonderful city.

Bambi was a kind and superb guide. I would highly recommend her presentation and insights before you purchase entry into Colonial Williamsburg. It will save you a lot of time in the long run. 5*****

Our tour guide, Bambi, was detailed with giving us many historical accounts along our walk, things we may not have known about on our own. This tour is a must for any first timers to Williamsburg.

Bambi was excellent! She matched her our energy. She was knowledgeable, quizzing, humorous, and helpful. She could convey so much information in a short period of time, it was awe-inspiring. All the while, she kept you engaged and moving(literally). It was the most fun I have had on a private tour. Do this!!!!
