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.

Sorry you didn't like our tour ! As you can see we are a 5 star tour and we Always have Great Reviews and our Guests comment on how much they learn and how much information we tell them and Love the many of phases we use today and where they originate from . . Every story that was told is factual from Colonial Williamsburg itself and when you look up William Byrd the third he was a gambler and his family had to sell his plantation Westover .and took his own life on Jan 1 or 2 1799 I know that was one of the questions you ask. I thought you really enjoyed the tour because you were laughing a lot .Safe travels ! Sincerely, Elizabeth
