Beginning with Lonnie's 9 AM tour was a great way to begin our Williamsburg experience. He has considerable knowledge of the area and is very open to questions as well as tailoring the tour to match a person's specific interests. I was a little concerned that he lacked reviews but that is because he has just begun his touring career as Sandifer Tours. I love tours to gain an overall view of an area and his exceeded all my expectations. The one hour tour was also an incredible bargain.This was an amazing walking tour.
