Colonial History Tour In Williamsburg Virginia

Excellent! Fun and informative.

It was a very immersed tour and you may get chosen to play a role. (Don’t worry. No memorizing lines are involved.) Our guide was very passionate about telling the stories of the people and buildings we saw. She included MANY explanations of where old sayings come from. Those were great! Just a heads up, there was quite a bit of standing in one place while the guide tells these stories. Also, allow enough time to tour on your own. The only building we went in and saw up close was the jail. Make sure you explore before or after your tour.

Our tour guy was so interesting. The way he explained everything was so easy to understand . He explained how things were back then . It was the best tour we’ve ever been on . Thank you . our 1:30 tour on Oct 12

She gives a very immersive experience. She gave tons of history. I would recommend this tour for a first timer coming to Williamsburg that knows nothing about colonial history. I've been several times to williamsburg , and I still learned a bunch.👍

Lisa did a great job and was packed with so much information about colonial Williamsburg. She brings her group into the tour with participation and story telling. My fate wasnt ideal, but had so much fun, Thank You again.

Elizabeth is a hoot!! Funny, interesting, and very knowledgeable.

Our tour guide was very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and polite, I would highly recommend her with my friends

Our tour guide, Elizabeth, really made our tour great. She is a wealth of knowledge. We learned a lot from her and enjoyed the walk through the historic area.

The guide, Elizabeth, was very informative and cordial. She had stories for each venue and included all of us. She was genuine.

Historically accurate. Entertaining. A great experience. It would have been nice to go into some of the buildings. The prison was very interesting.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and personable. He made the tour very interesting and told us lots of interesting information.

This was a very informative tour. The guide had an enormous amount of information about Colonial Williamsburg.

Excellent tour - guide and information on Colonial Williamsburg history. I believe our guide was Louis who was excellent, passionate, full of information and very accommodating a woman in a motorized vehicle. One suggestion to Viator - the meeting place given was a street address. There are no numbers on the buildings on the old colonial street. Recommend just identifying a building by name and not the address. Of 12 people in our group, every on had trouble finding the meeting place. Four people called and caught up 15 minutes late!

Watch the weather — we had rain, but Lisa made it very enjoyable. She had tons of information and interacted with us throughout the tour.

Very informative and guide very knowledgeable We did not go into any buildings so needed to return later to explore

Highly recommend this tour! Incredible information, and Elizabeth made it fun as well by involving the participants.

Wonderful tour with tons of information and history. Pace was great and moved along well as we toured the area.

A great tour, lots of information and very entertaining. Elizabeth did a great job and as we were the only ones on the tour agreed to meet us a little earlier to avoid stormy weather

Our guide, Elizabeth, was fantastic! She shared so much about the history of our country and how it unfolded in Colonial Williamsburg. Ask for her…you will be enlightened and entertained in a memorable way.

Tour guide was very good and informative. Relaxing tour

Very in depth with great explanations of common phrases. What the people accomplished with so much to overcome was amazing!

Guide was fantastic as his knowledge of Williamsburg and the history was incredible. I wish we could have recorded him.

I visited with my son and a number of members of his football team. They enjoyed hearing about Williamsburg and the rich history that this area has experienced.

Elizabeth was a delightful guide! It was a great tour to get our week started. She pointed out some great things to keep an eye out for.

This colonial Williamsburg tour was totally worth it! Our guide, Elizabeth, I believe her name was is so knowledgeable! Telling me things I didn’t even know yet like where the first shadow government started and I’m a big American history buff! Would definitely do this one again.

Tom was an excellent guide - very informative. Highly recommend this tour, you wouldn’t be disappointed.

We spent the day in Williamsburg and booked this in the middle of our day, hoping it would tie the narrative together from the many shops and houses you can go in. Elizabeth did an excellent job. Despite the 100-degree heat, everyone was super interested and engaged. My son and I go on a lot of tours, and this was one of the best. I highly recommend adding this tour to a Colonial Williamsburg visit.

Elizabeth was a wonderful tour guide great combination of fun and facts She made sure everyone was comfortable on the hot day , even offered us waters I would highly recommend this tour You will learn so much

Elizabeth is a excellent tour guide!! I learned more in one hour than several years of history class! I highly recommend this tour!

Very informative Entertaining Interactive Elizabeth was very entertaining, knowledgeable and was always open to answer any questions we had

Elizabeth was a wonderful tour guide. Her dress was amazing of course! She really did a great job of engaging and making it a funny and laid-back experience. We learned a lot! One thing that I really liked about her was that she did a great job of recognizing the level of engagement the audience would best respond to. She was personable and very knowledgeable. Definitely going to check out her ghost tour!

Lots of information. Would not want it any longer or you would be over saturated. It was extremely hot and our guide was very good about finding shade and places to sit and cool off

This was a five star tour. Elizabeth knew every facet of the history of Williamsburg. We were given facts, stories and fun antics about each period of history. Elisabeth was very thorough, fun and drew us into the time periods. Outstanding job Elizabeth!

Elizabeth was a wealth of knowledge and stories!!! Kept us engaged and involved! Thanks for making our short visit memorable

Elizabeth was passionate about sharing the history of Williamsburg. She tried to keep us cool and rested by finding shady benches for us to use while she spoke. She was great!

The history tour with Elizabeth was fantastic. She kept my teens involved (especially my son who’s not an history buff) and engaged everyone in the storytelling of the past by giving them a role in it. Lots of fun. She also recognized the needs of the group and found shade and spots to sit throughout the walk. If we have time, we hope to squeeze in the ghost tour.

Wonderful experience. Elizabeth was funny, engaging, and very knowledgable. She was very excited about the subject and she showed it.

We got rained out first day but tour guide was so considerate and rebooked! Her tour and explanation was so thorough!! Very friendly and informative!

Elizabeth is amazing! I couldn’t believe all I learned on this tour. She was animated, a great storyteller, loud enough to hear and gave us extra time. She truly cared about us learning everything we could.

Elizabeth was passionate about all of the stories she shared and did everything she could to make us understand colonial Williamsburg and its impact on this country. Bravo!!!!👏

Wonderful and informative!! We loved Elizabeth! She knew the history soo beautifully! So thrilled we had this experience..❤️

This tour was two hours. We walked all over the town with our very knowledgable guide, Elizabeth. It was very interesting and worth the time. We enjoyed the time and would recommend it for anyone.

Elizabeth was just great!! So passionate and knowledgeable about our history and made the tour fun and interactive

We had a great 8:00 haunted tour with Mike. I liked that he dressed in colonial attire which made him seem like he was a part of the stories he told. He was fun and interesting. Great spooky history tour.

The tour is very complete. The amount of information shared by the tour guide was almost an overload. She was extraordinarily well schooled on the history of Williamsburg. Tour guide was very compassionate about her subject. She was also very attentive to the needs of the members of the tour group.

Our tour guide was very personal and very good. She had great knowledge of Williamsburg history, and a great personality.

Very informative! Cool things to see that you won't see anywhere else! Elizabeth knows so many amazing historical facts and her crush on Patrick Henry is so sweet! You'll walk and stand a lot but there are moments for sitting and ability to buy cold drinks along the way (or bring your own). Worth noting because it was quite warm the day we went. Colonial Williamsburg and the founding of our nation are so worthwhile and this is a great way to learn and a good deal for the cost. Have fun!

I love history. Our guide, Elizabeth, was so informative. I learned so much extra about American ancestors.

Elizabeth is a fantastic guide. She doesnt just give a bunch of facts, shes a master story teller! Ive been to colonial Williamsburg 4 or 5 times, she made this time the absolute best time. We really did learn a lot. If she was a teacher, kids would love History.
