Per one customer who booked the Full-Day Historic Guided Tour to Jamestown and Yorktown with Lunch, "This was a great tour, especially for anyone interested in early American settlements and Revolutionary War history. Matt was an exceptional tour guide and educator. Using humor and storytelling, he provided interesting details behind events, places, artifacts, monuments, and artwork we were seeing throughout the day. We learned a lot on this tour and enjoyed every moment. The museums at Jamestown and Yorktown were impressive and a must-see if visiting these places. We highly recommend this tour."
