Bambi was wonderful. She picked us up at Hilton Garden Inn. She provided snacks and drinks, which was appreciated. The Yorktown Museum was beautiful. This was this best tour we went on. Bambi was very knowledgeable. We loved the firing of the cannon. Enjoyed seeing the soldier's camp and way of living. But best of all, the museum was the best. i would recommend this tour to anyone going to visit.

My daughter and I really enjoyed this tour! Bambi, our tour guide, shared so many interesting facts about the American Revolution and the Battle of Yorktown. She tailored the stops in the museum to our interests. Yorktown would not have been as much fun or as educational without Bambi and this tour. I highly recommend this tour to learn the fascinating story of the Battle of Yorktown.
