Elizabeth was a great... - Elizabeth was a great tour guide with lots of knowledge of the history and funny uses of old sayings. She was quite entertaining.
My only feedback is that our tickets instructed us to meet at a specific address that did not correspond to any marked place. We were 30 minutes late joining the tour after we contacted Elizabeth for directions to meet up with the group. Why not give the specific landmark where the tour will meet up and begin?

Historical Trip...history lesson comes to life! - The colonial community was just like I had in mind. Loved the actors who portrayed characters throughout the town. Lots of walking, but they did provide shuttle buses that would take you to specific areas. Really enjoyed our day there.

History in 2 hours! - Perfect tour for someone who has few hours at Williamsburg and want to understand the colonial history. You won’t get go see the capitol and other gentry houses from inside but will learn a lot more about those houses and associated history during this walking tour!

Colonial Williamsburg Tour - Trisha did a great job telling stories about the people who lived in the houses. Also, in the Episcopal church was a lady who answered questions and told stories about the church, she was amazing.
