lonnie was a very excellent tour guide. He knew his stuff and provided very informative information. We had both tours with him and we enjoyed both!
Our tour is filled with historic information in the city where it happened! We present the events of the 1770s in a clear time-line and discuss actions and attitudes the founders that shaped the revolution and the founding of our nation. The average visitor would have to spend multiple days (visiting just the right buildings) to learn the information we present in just 1 hour without waiting in long lines and missing information because of closed attractions. Questions are encouraged throughout the tour to ensure you are getting the information and experience you desire.
Departure Point
- The west side of the capitol building at the intersection of Duke of Gloucester and Blair streets.
- Our tour ends in front of the historic Bruton Parish Church (open to the public most days at the church's discretion). Just blocks away from the art museums and modern shopping and dining.
- Human tour guide - English

Lonnie took us way back to the time in a way much better than any history teacher I ever had. This wasn't just a bunch of names and dates, but a 'story'. Seeing the restorations, the people in costume, and hearing the events of the day really made one feel like you were there, and understood the role of the time, place, and events in history.

Lonnie was great and extremely knowledgeable. It was obvious he had great relationships with everyone working there and was well-liked. Perfect for someone looking for a leisurely informative stroll through the town.

This was a short (1 hour)general information walking tour on Duke of glochester street. Our guide, Lonnie, was very knowledgable, funny, articulate and easy to listen to. Would highly recommend before touring the buildings
