Informative Tour, Friendly Guide - We had a great tour with Lonnie. He knows a lot of interesting trivia that we would not have learned exploring on our own. Overall, I would recommend this tour to families.

With the money! - Getting the overall picture of The Revolutionary era. Easy to understand. After the tour then you can go back and visit the buildings that were open. You have to purchase a ticket for Colonial Williamsburg to go into the buildings with demonstrations that have flags out in front of them.

Great experience - Lonnie knew his stuff. I learned so much about Colonial Willamsburg and that time frame. He even showed bricks on the buildings where the Slaves injured themselves, moving bricks when they were still hot

Not as advertised - The tour was advertised for families. Though it was a great tour for adults, it is definitely an adult tour. I bought tickets for myself and my 11 year old daughter, and she lost interest at the first stop. Several adult ladies dropped out of the tour half way thru. The guide is very knowledgeable, but the tour assumes a wide knowledge base.

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
