Exceptional Tour Experience at Yorktown Battlefield and Museum with Bambi - Our visit to the Yorktown battlefield was profoundly enriched by our guide, Bambi, whose passion for history and gift for storytelling brought the Revolutionary War to life. Her ability to clearly explain the complex events, circumstances, and key historical figures of the time was nothing short of remarkable. Bambi seamlessly wove together the strategic significance of Yorktown, the personalities of figures like George Washington and General Cornwallis, and the broader context of the war with clarity and enthusiasm. Her explanations were accessible yet deeply informative, making the experience engaging for both history buffs and casual visitors alike. Thanks to Bambi, we left with a far deeper understanding of the pivotal role Yorktown played in America's fight for independence. Her tour was not just educational—it was inspiring. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a meaningful and memorable visit to this historic site.

Great Yorktown Experience - My wife and I experienced an afternoon Yorktown tour with Bambi. We try to book private tours, when possible, as we get much more out of them compared to group tours. We had read some of the reviews about Bambi, and they were true. She was an outstanding guide - it was more like being shown around by a friend. Her knowledge was excellent and she was able to answer all our questions. And she provided tips on other things to do in the area. Definitely recommend. Thanks for making our quick trip more enjoyable and educational Bambi!

Great tour of history - Bambi was a superior tour guide. We first explored the American Revolutionary War museum which was great. Then we toured the grounds which included demonstrations of how to load and fire a musket, and how the sick and wounded were treated during the time of the battle. We then went out into the battlefield which included Redoubts 9 and 10, and Surrender Field. Throughout Bambi gave us a great background of the history and the battle.

So much wonderful history …and we had so little time! - So much amazing history! Two days wasn’t enough for me! I could have spent an entire day just at the American Revolution Museum! The free Yorktown Trolley will get you most places you want to see by walking. The Steamer Tour of Yorktown either the day tour or the ghost tour is awesome! (We did both with Yorktown & Co Tours and couldn’t have been more thrilled with the results. We didn’t have time to go to Williamsburg or Jamestown, but would like to do that next time!
