This walking tour was engaging, with interesting storytelling by the guide, along with helpful insights while navigating the historic area. I enjoyed this thoughtfully designed tour, visiting iconic landmarks such as the Governor's Palace, the Capitol building, and also some artisan shops.
Explore at your own pace with a fully private guided tour! A live interpretation of American history. The Capitol. The other one, actually. A political foundation that gave Williamsburg its place in the Historic Triangle. Now grab a map and dive into Colonial Street. A living history museum. An homage to Colonial times. Heard of Thomas Jefferson? He lived in the Governor’s Palace. Visit the place that once served as a hospital for wounded soldiers. “The Most Historic Avenue of America”. That’s what FDR called Duke of Gloucester Street. Let our guide tell you the tales that roam this 99 ft street. And to finish off the tour: Eavesdrop on a short lecture at the College of William & Mary. Maybe, you’ll pick up something educational!
