I cannot rate this tour. When we went to the address where our GPS led us to there was no address. We didn't know where to go from that point. Suggestion: Please put signs out to let tourists know where to meet and park. Thank u. We did reschedule.

This walking tour is conducted by a well informed guide who was dedicated to tell the whole story about the enslavement of Africans and the practice that continue to this day.
The pace allowed rest in the shade, water stops etc.
Worth the price and the time .

Lonnie illuminated the history of slavery in the context of Williamsburg with deftness and sensitvity. Along with the Patriots tour, it provided a broader understanding of Colonial life and times.

Very informative! Lonnie was very knowledgeable and engaging. I remember coming to Williamsburg as a child. Slavery wasn’t talked about back then. Lonnie filled in the gap!

Lonnie was a well informed guide. He provided insight into the cultural and moral aspects of the period much more than could be inferred from just observing the architecture of the era.

Lonnie is an excellent tour guide who had us reflecting on the implications of slavery and its lasting effects on society. I totally recommend this tour to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of this dark chapter in our history.
