5.00Guide was excellent. He worked in Colonial Williamsburg for years so he new the history of the town, building and people who lived. Tour starts at the Capitol and goes down Duke of Gloucester to the main Green. He was able to gives the facts on all of the buildings, how they were used. A snapshot into the past. Highly recommend the tour. Inexpensive and let's you know what areas you may want to focus on.

Fresh and informative presentation

5.00This was our second tour with Lonnie Sandifer, with our second grandchild to choose the historic triangle for his history vacation. His presentation was fresh, not canned, with new insights into the same sites. He answered any questions we had, then added details about the distinct differences in the way government functioned in the early years, as compared to today's standards. At the end of the tour, he directed us to a tour at William and Mary, which our grandson found very fascinating as well.
