This is my favorite tour - I pick up from your Williamsburg hotel to visit Berkeley, Westover and Sherwood Forest Plantations. Berkeley’s 1726 Georgian mansion is the birthplace of Benjamin Harrison V, signer of the Declaration of Independence, and also the birthplace of William Henry Harrison, 9th U.S. President, and his grandson, Benjamin Harrison, 23rd U.S. President. During the Civil War, Berkeley was occupied by General McClellan’s troops. While at Berkeley, General Butterfield composed the familiar tune “Taps”, played by his bugler. We will explore the Native American, Colonial and Civil War artifacts, along with historical paintings and exhibits in the 18th century basement museum. At Westover, we tour the grounds of this beautiful Georgian mansion, its amazing gardens and secondary buildings. At Sherwood Forest, we tour the grounds of our 10th U.S. President, John Tyler's home, the longest frame house in America. If scheduling in advance, we can request an interior tour.

Get to know the history of Norfolk’s African American community - including the important contributions that the black community has made to Norfolk’s culture, history, and commerce.

Our Founding Fathers loved liberty. And loved the ladies as well! Led by your 5-star guide on the romantic streets of Colonial Williamsburg, we'll explore the yearnings of our restless patriots who trod here – George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Patrick Henry. We'll learn their schoolboy crushes, passionate pursuits, and breathless encounters to (finally!) settling into loving, long-lasting marriages. We'll meet the flirtatious ladies they yearned for, the haughty ones who rejected them, and the devoted beauties who won them. I say! It's just like Bridgerton! We'll also learn 18th-century courting customs and how a lady used her fan to entice a suitor. Come see our surprising and oh-so-human founding fathers! Our guests are saying: - “We rank Cyndi in the top 2% of professional guides that we have experienced.” - “Cyndi felt like a comfortable friend with a vast store of information.” - She has the honor of being ranked nationally in the “Top 10% of guides in the Country.”
