The ups and downs of the early patriots - Provides a big picture view of how the founders wrestled with nation building, the interface of church and state, and the challenges of a new society. Lonnie is well versed in all the chapters.

Highly Recommend - This tour should be on your list. Lonnie gives a concise, humor peppered history of Colonial Williamsburg as you stroll down the marvelous Duke of Gloucester. You sense his ownership of his tour and ties to the area. A delightful and essential part of our visit to Williamsburg.

Great tour-just what he advertised! - Lonnie was knowledgeable and entertaining. He did a great job providing the key historical facts about the area. We liked the small group approach vs a larger group as we could hear everything he said and could ask questions anytime. And an hour was the perfect amount of time. Highly recommend!

10/10 Recommend! - Lonnie was fantastic—knowledgeable, personable and you can tell he genuinely loves what he does. He weaves in so many interesting facts & stories the history books don’t tell you. I kept thinking I wish I’d had history teachers/professors like him growing up!

Patriot Tour and Ghost Tour were a hit! - We took our grandson to Williamsburg for fun and history. Lonnie delivered both on his Patriots Tour and Ghost Tour of Colonial Williamsburg. He is knowledgeable about all things Colonial Williamsburg, injected humerous stories, and some fun facts. He also offered some valuable suggestions for Jamestown.
