    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 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!

    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.
