Great tour of Jamestown - We had a great tour of Jamestown Settlement with Bambi. She was knowledgeable and fun. We were traveling with our 97 year old mom, so we needed some tact and consideration and got it in spades! Bambi brought extra drinks and snacks. She really knows her stuff and goes the extra mile.

Fascinating trip to Jamestown - Barbie was our tour guide. She picked us up at the lodge and began the tour as soon as we got into her vehicle. She was so knowledgeable about the area. We arrived at the Jamestown museum and she took us everywhere and highlighting the more interesting parts. She asked questions of the actors that particularly applied to me being a teacher. I got to hold a musket and do all sorts of things that I wouldn’t have felt comfortable asking about if I had been on my own. We had such a great day!

A Stellar Historical Experience - The historical experience and thorough information given to us by Bambi Walters was more than I ever imagined. She’s a walking encyclopedia! She has such a pleasant personality and we were enthralled by every sight she showed us and explained to us. I highly recommend her!

Great experience with personal touch - It is well worth the money to have someone tell about the exhibits and history. Bambi was very knowledgeable and friendly. Made you feel like you have known her for a long time. Great time with her and never felt rushed. Highly recommended.

Today we took the... - Today we took the Jamestown settlement tour with our tour guide Bambi and it was an absolute fantastic experience. Bambi was incredibly knowledgeable, bringing engaging stories and fascinating details to us. The tour was well organized, with perfect balance of time and time to explore the history of the time. Whether you’re a history buff or just curious about the Jamestown Settlement Historical Tour is a must-do. It’s educational, inspiring, and thoroughly enjoyable. I left with a newfound appreciation for the complexities of early colonial life and can’t recommend this tour highly enough! Five stars!

You’ll learn a lot on this tour - Dave was great as far as his knowledge of the settlement. He bent over backward to work with us. It was a phenomenal tour and we really recommend Dave.

Expensive and Rushed tour - I recommend doing the tour on your own. The amount we paid for a private tour was not worth the money we spent on it.

This time VIATOR sucked - Bambi never showed or called. Customer service couldn't find her either. Two hours later, as were did Jamestown on our own, she called with her excuses...(my assistant was supposed to call). It was shut down by the government. (NOT TRUE). I had my 87 year old mom with me and because of her she really messed up out day.
