Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Pass By: West Duke of Gloucester Street, W Duke of Gloucester St, Williamsburg, VA 23185, USA

Step into a time machine to the 18th century on this fully-restored colonial street. You'll walk the same worn path as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and countless other American icons.

Pass By: The Historic First Baptist Church-Nassau Street Archaeology Project, 105 S Nassau St, Williamsburg, VA 23185, USA

Stop by the site where archaelogists currently dig to find previously unfound artifacts and evidence of the First Black Baptist Church of Williamsburg and the people who worshipped there. This site was and still is a revered location that gave hope and security to a generation of Christian slaves and free blacks.

Pass By: Bruton Parish Episcopal Church, 201 W Duke of Gloucester St (Next to Palace Green), Williamsburg, VA 23185-4201

Visit the Church of the Founding Fathers. Founded in 1682 and constructed in 1715, Bruton Parish heard the prayers, fears, and hopes of five U.S. presidents.

Pass By: George Wythe House, Palace Green Street, Williamsburg, VA 23185

Explore the scandal surrounding this founding father's death (or was it a murder?).

Pass By: Public Hospital Museum, 325 W Francis St, Williamsburg, VA 23185-4103

This hospital was established to house "idiots, lunatics, and persons of insane mind." Often, conditions were not much better than those in jail, but some doctors did their best to improve circumstances for their patients. Following the Civil War, conditions again deteriorated, until the original building burned down.

Pass By: Colonial Williamsburg Courthouse, 101 W Duke of Gloucester St, Williamsburg, VA 23185, USA

Stand on the steps where the Declaration of Independence was read aloud for the first time, where criminals were led to the whipping post following their sentence, where townspeople gathered to make crucial decisions.

Pass By: Raleigh Tavern, W Duke of Gloucester St, Williamsburg, VA 23185, USA

This tavern was originally built in 1717, and was a favorite among college students and politicians. It was here that Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, and others established the Committees of Correspondence, a forerunner of communication between colonies prior to the outbreak of the American Revolution.

Pass By: Secretary's Office, E Duke of Gloucester St, Williamsburg, VA 23185, USA

Currently the oldest archival building in the Western Hemisphere, the Secretary's Office safeguarded some of the nation's most important documents after a tragedy at the Capitol.

Pass By: Peyton Randolph House, 100 W Nicholson St, Williamsburg, VA 23185, USA

This historic home is marred by the tragic story of the Randolph family's slaves, Eve and George, who went to great lengths to escape.

Pass By: Governor's Palace, 300 Palace Green St Colonial Williamsburg, Williamsburg, VA 23185

Though the building you'll see is a reproduction built in 1934, it was constructed from original plans drawn up by Thomas Jefferson, who also once resided in the home while he served as governor of Virginia following the Revolutionary War.

Pass By: Market Square, Williamsburg, VA 23185, USA

How do you save a bustling pedestrian market from being turned into a congested highway? Find out W.A.R. Goodwin's ingenious solution for saving Market Square.

Patrick was a wonderful tour guide. He was personable, knowledgeable and fun to be with. We would request him again as I am sure he has even more interesting and fun information that he didn’t have time to share.

We had a wonderful relaxed tour of historical Williamsburg with I believe Vincent, (Air Force hat). The information was so interesting that he made me want to learn more of this very important part of our United States and its formation. I would Def recommend this! One of the best educational tours I've ever been on. He is a wealth of information!

Vincent was our guide for this amazing morning. My wife and our dog were lucky enough to be the only guests on Vincent's tour of Williamsburg. We had perfect weather for our walk as Vincent gave us a great education of Williamsburg. We were surprised at many of the facts Vincent informed us about and he did so with wit and humor. The tour was great with all our interaction and at no time did we feel we were being lectured to. Book this tour and have Vincent lead the way!

Our guide was Vincent and he did a great job. Lots of stories that you never knew about Colonial Williamsburg and the people that lived there during that time.

William was an excellent guide and had a vast knowledge of early Williamsburg. It was interesting to learn of all the bodies buried under modern Williamsburg.
