Jamestown, Williamsburg, and Yorktown, VA are each living representation of Colonial America. Together, these towns form the Historic Triangle, scenically connected by the 23-mile Colonial Parkway. Your experience will begin with a scenic trip from DC to Jamestown – England’s first permanent settlement in America as well as the first capital of Virginia. Your tour guide will escort you through Historic Jamestown to observe the remnants of Fort James, site of the first permanent English settlement in North America! Together we will visit the reconstructed Glasshouse of 1608 and walk in the footsteps of Captain John Smith and Pocahontas. Next, you will visit Colonial Williamsburg where you will enjoy a guided walk through the world's largest living history museum. Before heading back to DC, you will visit Yorktown and observe the battlefield where General George Washington led the Continental Army to defeat British General Cornwallis and his troops during the Revolutionary War.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age requirement for the Colonial Williamsburg Private Tour?

A: There's no specific age requirement, but younger kids might not enjoy the history as much. The tour is engaging for ages 7 and up, and children under 5 might need special consideration. It's a great way to introduce kids to American history!

Q: What should I wear for the Colonial Williamsburg Private Tour? Is it mostly walking?

A: Definitely wear comfortable shoes since you'll be doing a fair amount of walking around the historic sites. Dress in layers because the weather can change quickly in Virginia, especially near the water.

Q: How does transportation work? Is parking available?

A: Transportation is included in the ticket price, so you won't need to worry about parking! The tour provider picks you up from DC, which is super convenient. Typically, you might be dropped off near the attractions to make the most of your time.
