My Christmas vacation in Williamsburg

It's been many years since I took American history, so it was refreshing to see all about what I learned. The costumes and the knowledge that the tour guides have were spectacular. Enjoyed it very much.

Amazing History

Incredible history, so much to learn and imagine. We were really able to put ourselves in the place of the early settlers in the area and appreciate their hardships and accomplishments.

Really enjoyable tour

We loved our tour with Lonnie. He is a long time Virginia resident and Williamsburg Historical reenactor. The 101 tour was perfect for us. We hit all 3 colonial sites in a day so didn’t have much time at any one place. He covered the history of Williamsburg in the context of colonial Virginia history and government as well as the American Revolution. Details about the college of William and Mary and the recreation of the town into its present form and ongoing archaeology as well. Really top notch. I highly recommend his tours.
