Our visit to the Yorktown battlefield was profoundly enriched by our guide, Bambi, whose passion for history and gift for storytelling brought the Revolutionary War to life. Her ability to clearly explain the complex events, circumstances, and key historical figures of the time was nothing short of remarkable. Bambi seamlessly wove together the strategic significance of Yorktown, the personalities of figures like George Washington and General Cornwallis, and the broader context of the war with clarity and enthusiasm. Her explanations were accessible yet deeply informative, making the experience engaging for both history buffs and casual visitors alike. Thanks to Bambi, we left with a far deeper understanding of the pivotal role Yorktown played in America's fight for independence. Her tour was not just educational—it was inspiring. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a meaningful and memorable visit to this historic site.

Exclusive, private tour (only your family/friends) of the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown (ARMY), some of the Yorktown Battlefields (Surrender Field), the federal museum (National Park Service with General Washington's original tent from the Battle at Yorktown in October 1781), Victory monument, and alleged cave where Cornwallis retreated. This is the only private tour with a private guide at all stops. This is NOT a group bus or group shuttle tour. This tour includes an in depth learning experience about the siege of Yorktown that lasted several weeks and explores the surrendering of arms on October 19, 1781 including Surrender Field. The afternoon tour at the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown includes the canon firing at 3:00pm (weather dependent from March 1st-November 30th). We spend about 3 hours touring and about an hour driving which makes this a 4 hour tour. If we meet in Yorktown, then the tour is about 3 hours, slightly longer if anyone shops at the museums.

My wife and I experienced an afternoon Yorktown tour with Bambi. We try to book private tours, when possible, as we get much more out of them compared to group tours. We had read some of the reviews about Bambi, and they were true. She was an outstanding guide - it was more like being shown around by a friend. Her knowledge was excellent and she was able to answer all our questions. And she provided tips on other things to do in the area. Definitely recommend. Thanks for making our quick trip more enjoyable and educational Bambi!
