Private Williamsburg Tour — Wonderful Opportunity to Experience and Learn about our History in a Fun Way - Ricardo was a joy to guide our group through Colonial Williamsburg. The tour was so informative, and he was so considerate that we, as seniors, had rest stops, water/fluids and a delicious, homemade Ginger treat. He was so knowledgeable and answered so many question we had. He was especially kind and made sure to interact with each of us. He is an excellent tour guide — especially how he individualized the tour to include the things that we each wanted to see and learn more about. He is definitely an educator and presents the information in a relaxed, interesting way. Highly recommend the tour, and especially Ricardo as an outstanding tour guide.

Private Williamsburg tour with Ricardo - We booked the private tour to learn more about Williamsburg, and we’re so glad we did. Ricardo was an exceptional guide—knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about colonial history. He tailored the tour to our specific interests and was eager to answer every question we had along the way. His deep understanding of colonial life brought the history of Williamsburg to life, helping us truly appreciate what daily life was like during that era. Ricardo also pointed out the best sites to explore later, making the rest of our visit even more meaningful. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to gain a deeper insight into colonial Williamsburg and to better understand the historical context behind the places you’ll see.

Stroll and Learn - There isn’t great distance walked but you cover a lot of ground! Many historic sites seen, moments discussed, facts presented but in a casual and conversive manner.

Tour of Colonial Williamsburg and the College of William and Mary - Tiffany was an amazing tour guide! She was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, sweet, and just an all around nice person who made the tour unforgettable! We learned so much while on the tour about the area and the history that we would have never known without her expertise. I truly feel it is a memory that my daughter and I will always cherish.
