Pirates walking tour in Williamsburg VA - The tour itself was really interesting- the guide, Colin, was very knowledgeable. He explained the history and intrigues of piracy and its impact on Williamsburg - lots of surprising facts and stories. Well done. We bought the tickets through Vacations Made Easy. Nothing about getting the tickets was easy, plus they tried to book us for a time share presentation. We had to collect the tickets in person at a resort, and only then did we get a link to the tickets ourselves. Still we really enjoyed the tour and recommend it.

Great presentation of how Pirates were an integral part of the colonies. - Awakening perspective regarding Pirates and their role in the creation of our Democratic Republic. Given as a pirate's verbal presentation while casually walking through Colonial Williamsburg.

Do it, you won't be disappointed. - Colin is an excellent tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and was open to answer our questions. He walked at a comfortable pace and took timed scheduled breaks. At one point he guided sit on bench a bench where he showed us on a map the routes the pirate ships took. Very historically accurate. I highly recommend this tour.
