Bambi was a wealth of knowledge regarding Jamestown and Yorktown. It was honestly the best tour we could have booked. Going into the museums and walking through the Jamestown settlement having someone explain what we were looking at and its significance tied it all together. Couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide or experience.

We brought our family (ages 6-55) for a vacation that included a stay in Virginia. We are a history-loving homeschool family, and we knew we wanted to explore as much as we could there in our limited time frame. We decided to book this private tour of Jamestown and Yorktown, and it turned out to be such a great experience. Our tour guide was so accommodating and knowledgeable. Having her drive us made things so much easier, negating any navigation concerns that we otherwise would have had. A seemingly endless supply of bottled water and a wide variety of snacks kept hunger and thirst at bay, enabling even the youngest of the children to maintain interest and attention. She knew the best times to explore each place, the must-see exhibits and locations, the best hands-on demonstrations, the questions we might not know to ask, and her personal knowledge of the area, the people, and the history made the tour such an exceptional experience for our family. The whole tour was phenomenal, and well worth the price. We enthusiastically recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get the most out of their visit.

My grandson liked the Native American exhibit and the ships the best. But all of the trip was interesting.
