Our tour of historic Williamsburg was both fascinating and fantastic. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining. She brought to light so many things that we had not seen before and/or didn't know. We stopped along the way and talked to "Mr. Wythe" and "Mr. George Mason" about "current events" in the Virginia legislature. It was hot, this day (yes, July in Williamsburg), but our guide was careful to find shaded areas in which we stopped for a more detailed teaching. We would very highly recommend this tour led by very dedicated and entertaining guide.

Bambi is an excellent tour guide. She explained a lot about Williamsburg colony and William and Mary college. She knows a lot about the history of each building and about the local area. She took the time to explain important stories about the history. She also took pictures for us and made sure we took time for rest breaks and water breaks.
