Great unique way to learn about history of area! - Our guide Brandi was fantastic. Very knowledgeable of the history of the colony from settlement of Jamestown thru to the reconstruction of historic Williamsburg in the 20th century. She was very engaging and gave info we hadn’t heard before during our visit. It was a great private experience for us (3 Adults). . The Williamsburg Inn lobby and restaurant were a great setting. Definitely Recommend.

Lots of great information! - We had an excellent time! Bambi is super knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Colonial Williamsburg and it's infectious. For this, it's more of a talk than a tour but it's a great alternative to all the walking tours in town and a good break from the weather. This talk is about the restoration of the town in the 30s but did cover a lot of the colonial town history. Breakfast is not included in the tour price, but the price was worth the education. And we got a book to keep that had a lot of information that was covered in the tour for additional reading.

Great way to learn about Colonial Williamsburg without going outside in the cold! - Having a delicious breakfast in the Williamsburg Inn is a treat, and learning about Colonial Williamsburg’s rich history makes breakfast even better. At the turn of the century, many buildings in the Colony of Virginia’s former capital city were crumbling. Our guide Bambi used the coffee table book “Williamsburg Before and After” (which we got to keep) to illustrate this historic city’s transformation into the largest outdoor living history museum in the world. Inspiring! Like taking a walk through history in an elegant, cozy setting. It’s also great for people who may have a hard time walking or who don’t want to venture out into the rain or cold. Huzzah!

Great tour good, best breakfast with beautiful setting, lots of learning Before and After CW Restoration - I loved everything about this tour - our guide, the food, the Williamsburg Inn, the Before and After Book (that we got to keep) and the enthusiasm I felt learning about Colonial Williamsburg’s history. We had a rainy day and wanted to spend time learning, so this was perfect. I was amazed how knowledgeable our guide, Bambi, is and how she radiated happiness that was infectious. We signed up for her Holiday Decorations tour when the weather was nicer and it was spectacular too.

Not solo friendly - Williamsburg is great in understanding the colonial era and its culture. This tour and its app will not allow single (1) bookings. It will accept couples (2). Not sure if this is discriminatory or “all about the Monet.”
