Worth your time and money. - We really enjoyed this full day tour. Matt, our bus driver and tour guide, was so full of knowledge about the history of this area. He shared with us so many interesting facts. His daughter, Sarah, was so sweet and helpful as well.
We would definitely encourage any one of any age to take this tour.

I would HIGHLY recommend this tour! - This tour was fun , interesting ,educational and informative. Matt was the BEST. He is a local who knows history, the area’s history, flora and fauna. He introduced the kids to local plants, and made it interactive. We also learned things only local would know.We had a new bus and that was great. It was wonderful to be not drive all over and pay a bunch of separate admissions. Lunch was prepared by a local company and it was good ,plus it was included.I would HIGhLY recommend this tour!

Williamsburg and Yorktown in a day - Matt was the best tour guide we've ever had. You can tell that he really loves history and his family has been a part of this area since the early 1900s, so he has a lot of knowledge of Williamsburg from days gone by. This was much better than a self guided tour would have been.

So interesting - Matt, our guide, was really knowledgeable, personable, funny and tireless. He took really good care of us and let us know our schedule and what to expect. I like that we had a bus to leave items safely, but to have them close as needed. You can take your own water bottle! The information and sites were incredible. There was adequate “group time” and free time. We were exposed to so many interesting things. Well worth time and money!
