    Black history is American History
    Marie_D, Apr 2024
    Vincent our tour guide was very knowledgeable and we learned a great deal on this tour. It was well paced and thought out. I was very happy to learn about all the African American contributions to colonial williamsburg outside of slavery. Would highly recommend this tour!
    Definitely a wonderful overview of the Williamsburg Black History Experience

    We had a wonderful experience with a knowledgeable tour guide. Of most interest was the First Baptist Church and the difficult challengesf the slaves endured while trying to gain their freedom.
    History of Slavery Tour: A Meaningful & Great Experience!

    This Tour of the History of Slavery in Williamsburg was one of many events that my husband and I participated in this past weekend. We celebrated his birthday all weekend, however, the most impactful part of our celebration was this history of slavery tour. As a Black Couple, the devastation our ancestors experienced as slaves, reach us to the core in every way. But we wanted to know more about Slavery in Williamsburg. The tour however was an excellent experience, with Vincent, our Tour Guide. We found him to be extremely knowledgeable and well versed in the details and people that will never be detailed in history books. Vincent was personable, extremely knowledgeable, sensitive and comfortable as our guide to tour this aspect of Williamsburg . We were not disappointed, 5 Stars for our experience!

    This event should have been hosted by an African American. The narrator was not sensitive to the the walking speed of the group. He seemed like he wanted to get on to his next event. He would talk while walking forward and not turn to talk to the group. it was difficult to hear to hear him in between the stations where we stopped. We left the group early and had not done that on the other tours.
    Response from Host, Apr 2023
    Hello, we are so sorry to hear this event was not what you expected. We always want to provide our guests with an excellent experience. We would like to make this right: would you mind giving us a call at (844)757-5657 or send us an email at guestrelations@wejunket.com so we may investigate this further? Thank you so much!
