This tour was amazing! It is long and all day but the time flew by. We were a little worried taking our kids for the whole day but the tour guide Matt was so amazing and kept them and everyone else entertained the whole making the experience so great! This was the best way and most cost efficient way to see several spots. Our tour guide knew so much information and was so awesome with everyone knew everybody's name by the end. Having lunch included was such a bonus with the air-conditioning on the bus. We took bottled water and were able to leave our stuff safely on the bus at stops. Highly recommend!
The experience was Amazing and I will recommend the tour with Matt, the tour guide, to all! He was kind, knowledgeable, humorous, and treated us all like family. He’s number 1 in our book!
We had a wonderful time on the Yorktown-Jamestown tour on 07/08/2026. Our guide, Matt, was terrific, blending local history (he is a native of the historic triangle of VA), personal anecdotes, and humor that made the trip one of the best we have ever experienced. Hats off to Viator! We are glad to have had the opportunity to offer our 15-yr-old grandson (and his Dad) the chance to share this with us. We will definitely be seeking out Viator tours (this was our first) as we travel to other parts of the country in years to come. Thanks so much for a great time!
Jamestown one full day and one full day for Yorktown. Providing lunch was a real treat! Our driver JOHN WAS EXCEPTIONAL. Very knowledgeable of local history and he pointed out things we might have missed without a guide. Hie is very personable and has agreat sense of humor!
Excellent tour and knowledgeable guide. Will worth the time.
The confirmed trip was cancelled due to inconvenoence for the provider. When i have travelled across the country the tour it is not satisfactory although the refund was quickly approved. Care to refubd air fare and lodging (rhetorical)?
We had such an amazing, fun, interesting, history filled day! Matt did a great job of covering all the main points, keeping us entertained, driving us all over and providing us with a wonderful lunch! This tour is a MUST DO!
The tour guide/bus driver was knowledgeable and personable. He was very able and recommendable.
The bus tour is long however the day goes fast! You learn a lot and get a great idea of the area and the history. The lunch stop was good and you have some free time at the different locations to see what you want, use the facilities, gift shops etc. It is a nice blend of tour guide and explore time. The brand new bus is comfortable and gorgeous! The guide is extremely well educated and works hard to keep any kids/teens engaged in the day.
The tour was both a real learning experience as well as really enjoyable. This was due to our guide. It was a real pleasure spending the day with him and our group.
