Just returned from my first visit to Colonial Williamsburg & the Historic Triangle. I went with a friend of mine who has been there eight times before...so I basically had my own tour guide! From the very first day, I was delighted by the area. It truly feels as though you are going back in time! Be sure you pick... more

I read a lot of reviews before going to Williamsburg, many of them saying to skip the admission and just walk around the town. But, we were glad we bought the pass for 2 days, we only needed 1 1/2 days. We chould have spent more time just in the quaint village shops. When you get the daily schedule of... more

We found that if we had drove into the historic part of Williamsburg, we could walk through the entire town regardless if we didn't have a ticket. By having a ticket it allows you into the buildings. I was disappointed that we bought the tickets..$108, 3 adults. We should've parked in the town area and just walked around. There was... more

Recently returned from an amazing trip to Williamsburg. Staying at the Williamsburg Lodge in the Ashby Guesthouse (recently renovated) a block away from the Duke of Glouchester street entering through the arsenal magazine. I had an idea of what to expect but can say without hesitation that this stay and trip exceeded my expectations. As part of the hotels fall... more

I have been visiting Colonial Williamsburg since 1969 and have enjoyed seeing and learning all that is presented. I, like the previous review, just cannot understand how someone can complain about the cost of the tickets when they will turn right around and spend more than that to go to DisneyWorld, Busch Gardens, or some other amusement park. I do... more

While I recognize that everyone is entitled to his or her opinion, I've never understood why some people don't enjoy the "historic triangle" as much as I do. I would postulate that some people don't get the full experience because they don't take the initiative to create their own itinerary, and unlike amusement parks, you do have to be more... more

I took the Lanthorn Tour (October 2009), which some people call the Lantern Tour because that's what the CW (Colonial Williamsburg Foundation) employee has with them and gives to kids to carry during said tour. It consists of a tour guide taking us around to the Silversmiths, the Printers, the Book Binder and the Wigmakers shop. The people who normally... more

We spent a wonderful 7 days touring Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown and York Town. If you aren't going to get passes and truly get into CW you will be disappointed. I can't imagine anyone saying it is expensive! Get the Historic Triangle Pass which is good for 7 days with unlimited access to CW, Yorktown and Jamestown. It is a bargain... more

I lived near Colonial Williamsburg (CW) for seventeen years and visited multiple times during those years. Last week I visited again with a friend while in town for a business trip. This prompted me to write a review and share my impressions. I would encourage anyone considering a CW visit to consider their particular group and do a lot of... more
