Great guide and overview of colonial Williamsburg! - Sylvia was fabulous! She provided many insights, stories and information on colonial Williamsburg. It was the perfect overview of everything and now we know where we want to go back for extra time. We wish there was a tour guide like Sylvia every place we traveled! Would 10/10 recommend.

Get Deep Insights and Stories Behind the History! - This tour was incredible. John was so knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Williamsburg. His stories and insights made the history come alive for us so that when we went back to go inside key places later, we had a much deeper appreciation for what we were seeing. I would suggested John’s tour to anyone looking to get deeper insights and appreciation for the history of this community. However, if you can find a way to find John Sutton of Williamsburg Private Tours outside of TA, I would. They were not timely in paying him and up charge over $300 for what he normally charges for the tour. So wonderful experience with John; not a good experience with the transaction process through TA.

Wonderful experience - Wonderful experience- our group of 7 loved this tour! Knowledgeable and thorough- if you’re on the fence, book it. Ask for William Penn Russell. He was simply the best!

Save your hard earned money, she did not earn hers - We thought, "are you kidding, is this a joke?" This was an absolute waste of time and a lot of money
