Bambi was an excellent guide. Extremely knowledgeable and experienced. It was very hot and humid so she helped us out by stopping for some cool drinks midway through. Was nice that it was a private tour as we could be more flexible. Felt lucky to have found her and taken this tour!

Our tour guide was fabulous! However I gave you a four star experience because of the amount of buildings in the historical Williamsburg that were closed due to labor shortage.
