Colonial Williamsburg - Private Tour Celebrating American History

Grozdanka_A, Jun 2026

Wonderful day in Willimsburg, VA

We had an outstanding experience with our private tour guide in Willimsburg, VA. From the very beginning, he was incredibly flexible and accommodating, even adjusting the appointment time because we were late. Being able to talk on the phone immediately with a life person to arrange new appoments was wonderful. Our guide was Will Fox. His extensive knowledge made the tour both informative and engaging, and he went above and beyond by providing additional insights and interesting details that enriched our experience. What truly stood out was Will’s willingness to adapt to our needs and preferences, ensuring that every aspect of the tour was comfortable and enjoyable for us. His professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail made the day memorable and stress-free. I highly recommend Will Fox to anyone looking for a personalized, informative, and exceptional experience. We couldn't have asked for better service and would gladly book with this company and specifically with Will Fox again in the future!

Full Day tour, lots of waking and site seeing.

The tour was all day! We loved it. Visited almost every monument and had time to fit in the Holocost Museum along with the changing of the guard at Arlington cemetery. A full day and lots of walking. John was a super informative tour guide and made us laugh quite a bit. Highly recommend.

Highly Informative

This two hour tour was well worth the time spent as it as very informative and an easy walk through Williamsburg. Since it starts at 10 am, parking is easy to find and convenient. There were limited tours, so I believe this one is well worth the cost. Tour guide Patrick was aa 40+ year highly knowledgeable and engaging person. There are optional bathroom stops if you request. I enjoyed this experience.

Great Full Day Tour

This was a great full day tour. We covered a lot in our time, and Matt was a great guide - he put together the history so well and is very knowledgeable. This tour is worth the cost, since it included entrance into Jamestown, the Yorktown museum, the battlefield, and lunch.

This is a good one 👍

We really enjoyed Mike and his shared knowledge and personality. He was easy to hear and understand (I wear hearing aids and usually have a hard time hearing guides). It was a little cooler to do this in the evening, but harder to take pictures once the sun went down. Overall, it was a good experience and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a guided tour.

Great history of Williamsburg by a true historian

Guide was excellent. He worked in Colonial Williamsburg for years so he new the history of the town, building and people who lived. Tour starts at the Capitol and goes down Duke of Gloucester to the main Green. He was able to gives the facts on all of the buildings, how they were used. A snapshot into the past. Highly recommend the tour. Inexpensive and let's you know what areas you may want to focus on.

Extremely interesting. ...

Extremely interesting. Patrick had an extensive background knowledge of both the Williamsburg area and of centuries of historical events that took place here. A guide who can hold the rapt attention of a 14-year-old for 90 minutes is worth his weight in gold, and Patrick did just that!

Nancy_P, Apr 2026

Informative and a great deal for the $$$.

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!

Exceptional Tour Experience at Yorktown Battlefield and Museum with Bambi

Our visit to the Yorktown battlefield was profoundly enriched by our guide, Bambi, whose passion for history and gift for storytelling brought the Revolutionary War to life. Her ability to clearly explain the complex events, circumstances, and key historical figures of the time was nothing short of remarkable. Bambi seamlessly wove together the strategic significance of Yorktown, the personalities of figures like George Washington and General Cornwallis, and the broader context of the war with clarity and enthusiasm. Her explanations were accessible yet deeply informative, making the experience engaging for both history buffs and casual visitors alike. Thanks to Bambi, we left with a far deeper understanding of the pivotal role Yorktown played in America's fight for independence. Her tour was not just educational—it was inspiring. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a meaningful and memorable visit to this historic site.

Great way to see the historic triangle!

It was great to have the unlimited opportunities to revisit the sites because when one is traveling with kids, smaller chunks of time can be much more effective than a longer chunk of time. The living history portions were great for kids and adults alike, and I highly recommend the experience.

Worth the time and money

The information that was told was very interesting to know. After getting home for the night and checking my pictures I was happy and kind of creeped out to notice that I was able to capture a few ghosts pics. I will be posting to their page in the next couple of days when I get the chance.
