We were the only two so we got a private tour. Our guide was great. He was very knowledgeable about the area. He was able to answer all our questions. We would recommend this tour to all.

Lonnie was very interesting. His sharing of the background of many of the buildings and the beginning of the Williamsburg restoration added to our understanding of the significance of Williamsburg. The hour passed very quickly but was packed with information.
