Colonial History Tour Williamsburg - The tour was fantastic. EIizabeth was our guide. She was a wealth of knowledge and made it so enjoyable with her enthusiastic, interactive style.
She was great at encouraging our participation and making us part of the story.
She was considerate of our comfort level in the extreme heat providing water and places to sit in the shade while she presented. We give her a
5 plus star rating!

History Before Our Eyes - The tour guide was the best part. She was very informative. She had a great sense of humor. The weather was a little hot, so she made sure we sat and stood in the shade when possible. She was very interactive with the tour.

Great tour with Elizabeth on June 1, 2024 - Elizabeth was our tour guide. She was very informative and not boring. she had all the answers to our questions and made things fun as a group. She also does a ghost tour in the evening which I wish we would have done.

Awesome and informative! - Liz did an amazing job with our tour today. It was very entertaining, informational, and interactive. She knows her stuff and makes it fun. She was also very accommodating by ensuring that people had places to sit when they needed to rest. She also talked loud so we could always hear her. My husband and I really enjoyed it and would recommend this tour to anyone. Thank you so much!!

Walking tour - The tour guide was excellent and very informative. If you like heat that your place. The only down fall was didn't go into enough buildings. You could go back on your own.
