In depth & enjoyable - The tour was well organized. We appreciated the phone call to confirm our tour details. While this “Christmastide” tour didn’t exactly match the description online, it was thorough and enjoyable. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided extensive details relative to living in Colonial Williamsburg. Refreshing! One of the few tours in Williamsburg that didn’t focus exclusively on slavery.

Interesting and fun - Very informative and interesting tour telling us a lot about the settlers in Williamsburg. We are British so it was great to hear about the customs of the people who lived there and the different customs they brought with them.

It’s ok - The tour was more about the history of Williamsburg in general and less about Christmas in Williamsburg.
