Great Tour! - Lonnie was amazing - he is such a great storyteller and really gave us information we had not had before. He really put Williamsburg in a new light for his. He also shared other buildings we should tour if we had time. A great resource. I would HIGHLY recommend touring with Lonnie!

Short tour, but informative and fun - Lonnie was a fun and informative guide. He knew his stuff, but also has a fun and casual style that made the tour light, never stuffy at all. A one hour tour can't go into all the details of Colonial Williamsburg, but it's enough to get the big picture along with some interesting stories.

High recommended 101 tour - We were the only ones on the tour and Lonnie was great. He is extremely knowledgeable and in spite of the stifling heat he gave us a tour that was both informative and fun. Would highly recommend this tour specially if you are short on time.

walking tour experience - Lonnie is an experienced historian. He shared facts about the buildings, their occupants and historical facts not available in brochures. He shared interesting info about the families over generations. He provided a good walking pace and was in no rush to complete the tour. We learned a lot. We recommend Lonnie for your next tour.

Dissatisfied and $75.00 - I have no remembrance because I could never download my tickets. It cost me $75.00 and I had no option but to pass up the tour. No one to call or contact in any way. I spent hours trying to get information. Once I was charged I was kept in limbo without my tickets Very frustrating and out of $75.00 and the tour
