Great unique way to learn about history of area!

Published on May, 2024

Our guide Brandi was fantastic. Very knowledgeable of the history of the colony from settlement of Jamestown thru to the reconstruction of historic Williamsburg in the 20th century. She was very engaging and gave info we hadn’t heard before during our visit. It was a great private experience for us (3 Adults). . The Williamsburg Inn lobby and restaurant were a great setting. Definitely Recommend.

Worth it.

Bambi was friendly and knowledgeable. I enjoyed learning more about Colonial Williamsburg and the surrounding area. I appreciated the photos she took of me in front of the Williamsburg Inn.

How knowledgeable our guide (Bambi Walters) was, and how interesting she made the entire event. All in all, we feel the experience was a great value for the money and time we spent. Thank you Bambi.

Lots of great information!

Published on Jul, 2023

We had an excellent time! Bambi is super knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Colonial Williamsburg and it's infectious. For this, it's more of a talk than a tour but it's a great alternative to all the walking tours in town and a good break from the weather. This talk is about the restoration of the town in the 30s but did cover a lot of the colonial town history. Breakfast is not included in the tour price, but the price was worth the education. And we got a book to keep that had a lot of information that was covered in the tour for additional reading.
