This was a five star tour. Elizabeth knew every facet of the history of Williamsburg. We were given facts, stories and fun antics about each period of history. Elisabeth was very thorough, fun and drew us into the time periods. Outstanding job Elizabeth!

Elizabeth was passionate about sharing the history of Williamsburg. She tried to keep us cool and rested by finding shady benches for us to use while she spoke. She was great!

The history tour with Elizabeth was fantastic. She kept my teens involved (especially my son who’s not an history buff) and engaged everyone in the storytelling of the past by giving them a role in it. Lots of fun. She also recognized the needs of the group and found shade and spots to sit throughout the walk. If we have time, we hope to squeeze in the ghost tour.

Elizabeth is amazing! I couldn’t believe all I learned on this tour. She was animated, a great storyteller, loud enough to hear and gave us extra time. She truly cared about us learning everything we could.

This tour was two hours. We walked all over the town with our very knowledgable guide, Elizabeth. It was very interesting and worth the time. We enjoyed the time and would recommend it for anyone.
