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.

Our tour guide gave us his personal experience living in Colonial Williamsburg and he was professional and a very knowledgeable historian. He was proud to be a Williamsburg resident and scholar.

Tom was an amazing storyteller and guide. I would bring others for a tour with him in a second! The village is gorgeous and has so much interesting history.

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.

The tour was more about the history of Williamsburg in general and less about Christmas in Williamsburg.
