    Lonnie was a great tour guide. He provided insightful information, and it was obvious he had done some research on the history of Williamsburg. The most interesting facts were around the early emancipators and the risks they took in freeing their slaves in early America.

    The slavery tour was very interesting. However, much of the slavery tour was covered in the Patriot’s tour. No need to do both. Either one. By itself is well worth the time and $$.

    I cannot rate this tour. When we went to the address where our GPS led us to there was no address. We didn't know where to go from that point. Suggestion: Please put signs out to let tourists know where to meet and park. Thank u. We did reschedule.

    This walking tour is conducted by a well informed guide who was dedicated to tell the whole story about the enslavement of Africans and the practice that continue to this day. The pace allowed rest in the shade, water stops etc. Worth the price and the time .
