Historical Williamsburg - This is a great two-hour walking tour of Williamsburg historical area. We decided to do this as a way to see the area without spending a full day. Elizabeth, our guide, told us many great stories!

Excellent time spent - Elizabeth presented the history of the city in a very knowledgeable and entertaining way. She was cognizant of people’s needs and moved us to shaded areas and stopped for refreshments along the way.

Colonial Idioms Tour - It was fine but not what I was expecting. I don’t feel like I learned much about the history of Williamsburg AT ALL - it was more of “colonial idioms of today and the funny (debatably true) stories they come from.” Lots of reeling off random names and how many kids they had vs survived. I would not take this tour again or recommend it to a friend.
