Triple-B Driving Tours LLC offers private guided driving tours across the Hampton Roads peninsula, taking you off the beaten path to discover the region’s most significant historical sites and the people who impacted them. We provide immersive three-hours+ experiences that connect you to over 400 years of American history, from the Revolutionary War to the Space Age. Unlike self-guided tours, we deliver a personalized experience tailored to your interests, with flexible stops and a comprehensive narrative that places each location within the broader context of Hampton Roads and American history. We also pick-up and drop-off at your hotel, home, or a mutually agreed upon location, provided that location is on the north side (or peninsula) of Hampton Roads–this includes Williamsburg, James City County, York County, Hampton or Newport News.

Phil and Lynnette Pratzner, owners of Triple-B Driving Tours LLC, proudly served their country for decades. Phil employs his experience as a retired Air Force Colonel, years of operational campaign planning, and Master’s degrees in American History and Military Studies to guide tours for our customers. With 26 years of service in the military in multiple operational theaters, three times in command, and 12 years as a technologist/program manager at The Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, Phil has a passion for subjects such as campaign design and execution, technology impacts, unsung heroes, and leadership under stress. Lynnette served for 24 years as an Air Force Judge Advocate General, utilizing a keen attention to detail, critical thinking skills, and sense of justice, which she now employs to ensure our tours cover the full story.
