Great Tour! - This tour is great for those who don’t necessarily want to go inside buildings but just general knowledge of the history. Elizabeth was our guide. There are no words to describe her friendliness and knowledge. She went above expectations during our tour with plenty of stops to rest. She was funny and I learned a lot!! She is excellent!! “Go sip” was my favorite!! Highly recommend!

Must buy ticket for buildings and take tour early - It was a small group just five in total. Felt very personal. Elizabeth was knowledgeable and very personable. The only thing we missed was not being able to go into the buildings. You need to buy a ticket to visit the buildings separately. Our tour started at 2:00 p.m. and the village closes the buildings around 5:00 so we were not able to see them on this visit. Just a note to buy a ticket and take the tour early to go back through the buildings. Enjoy!

This is an excellent tour! - My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour! Our tour guide, Elizabeth, made it fun, informative, and engaging. The content she shared about the history of Williamsburg was so interesting and intriguing, and at times, we could actually imagine life in Williamsburg during Colonial times based on the stories she told. I highly recommend this tour and Elizabeth, especially, as a tour guide!
