Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this tour, or is it suitable for kids?

A: The tour is great for families! Kids aged 5 and up usually have a good time. Just keep in mind that it’s a walking tour, so make sure the little ones are up for it! If you have younger kids, consider bringing a stroller, but be aware that some areas can be tricky to navigate.

Q: Can I reschedule if something comes up? How flexible are they?

A: Yes, you can reschedule! Just make sure to give at least 24 hours notice. The company is pretty accommodating as long as you reach out in advance. They understand that plans can change, especially for gift bookings.

Q: What should we wear for the walking tour? Any recommendations?

A: Comfort is key! Wear good walking shoes since you’ll be on your feet a lot. Dress in layers, too, because it can get hot in the afternoon but chilly in the morning. If you're going in the summer, a hat and sunscreen are a must! Oh, and don't forget a water bottle.

Just did the Colonial Williamsburg walking tour—amazing experience!

I went on the 'Step in Time' tour last week, and it was incredible! Our guide was super knowledgeable, and walking through the Governor’s Palace felt like stepping back in time. The blacksmith demonstration was a hit with my kids! If you're thinking of gifting this, definitely go for it. Just remember, you need a valid Colonial Williamsburg ticket for the day.

Thinking about gifting the Colonial Williamsburg tour—any thoughts?

I want to get the 'Step in Time' tour for my history-loving aunt. What do you all think? Is it engaging enough for someone who’s pretty into history? I love that it includes visits to places like the Capitol Building and blacksmith shops. Also, how’s the walking difficulty? My aunt isn’t as spry as she used to be.
