Bambi was an excellent tour guide for my husband, my son and I! She was very knowledgeable of Colonial Williamsburg and she made the tour both interesting and fun. Definitely recommend this for anyone looking to get a better understand of the history of this beautiful city…don’t forget to ask for Bambi!

We had a great time. Bambi was very knowledgeable of the history. We got to see things we would not have seen on our own.

We had a fantastic tour guide who knew Colonial Williamsburg intimately. She was very informative about the history not only of CW, but also of William and Mary and Jamestown. We took her suggestions as to which buildings to be sure to tour during our stay. She told us about the ferry in Jamestown that offers a nice view of the island which turned out to be a very enjoyable (and free) experience. I can't recommend this tour and our guide highly enough, especially when taken near the beginning of your stay in Williamsburg.
