What To Expect

Colonial Williamsburg Capitol Building

We will immerse ourselves in the 18th century as we walk up Duke of Gloucester Street, "the most historic street in America." We will stop to view the Capitol Building, where our Founding Fathers debated British taxation and finally proposed independence. Along the way we will pass by busy trades, merchant shops, and taverns. And maybe even visit the dark jail cells and shackles of the Public Gaol (Jail) where Blackbeard's pirates were imprisoned.

Tarpley, Thompson, And Company

Walking down Duke of Gloucester Street, we will talk about Virginia's role in declaring our independence and chat about Colonial life here in the capital city. We will see costumed interpreters and observe the busy shops, working trades, and taverns for hungry travelers where our Fouding Fathers debated independence. We will stop by the Courthouse where we'll share the punishments doled out to convicted criminals and perhaps take a photo with your feet in the "stocks."

Colonial Williamsburg’s Merchants Square

We will conclude our tour in charming Merchants Square, with its 40 quaint shops including gift shops, clothing stores like Talbot's and Scotland House, and award-winning restaurants, from fine dining to casual spots. You may want to grab a bite or go souvenir shopping. Your guide will let you know their favorite spots!

Cindy was very knowledgeable and of course friendly. She not only knew a lot of interesting facts, but also seemed to know all of the volunteers and other tour guides. This came in handy as she was able to suggest many places to check out after the tour.
