My wife and I met with our tour guide Bambi, who lead us through a very informative walking tour of colonial Williamsburg and the College of William and Mary. She was very knowledgeable and pleasant and shared with us many interesting stories from colonial time. I would highly recommend this tour and consider it well worth the cost. - C and R Moore.

Bambi was an excellent guide. Extremely knowledgeable and experienced. It was very hot and humid so she helped us out by stopping for some cool drinks midway through. Was nice that it was a private tour as we could be more flexible. Felt lucky to have found her and taken this tour!

We are two couples traveling together and we're looking for a tour through Colonial Williamsburg. With Bambi we found a wonderfully informative tour! It was a seriously steamy day but there were plenty of opportunities to pause in the shade, get a cold drink or use the restroom. We saw all of the beautiful places and landmarks. Just what we were looking for! Thank you Bambi!
