You will learn more about American history than you thought possible. It was a long, full day with equal parts bus ride and walking. Matt was phenomenal and we cannot imagine how he remembers all that history.

Wonderful Tour
Teresa_J, October 2026
We gained much knowledge with our tour guide,Matt. He was extremely knowledgeable about history of Jamestown/Yorktown. He spent time at each stop on our Jamestown/Yorktown tour to explain the history beyond that of what was on a wall. If you ever have time to take this tour, we would highly recommend having Matt as your tour guide.
