Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Découvrez Colonial Williamsburg et découvrez tout ce que cette ville historique réputée a à offrir. En savoir plus sur la vie dans l'Amérique coloniale et la révolution américaine. Profitez des reconstitutions historiques et des représentations théâtrales, des jardins animés et des musées d'art, ainsi que des visites guidées et autoguidées des bâtiments et des maisons d'origine du XVIIIe siècle et d'une interaction personnelle avec les habitants de la ville.
Jamestowne historique offre beaucoup à voir et à faire. Une visite typique peut durer de 2 à 3 heures, mais ceux qui souhaitent approfondir l’histoire de Jamestown peuvent facilement passer une demi-journée ou plus à explorer l’île. Voyez l'archéologie en action alors que l'équipe de la redécouverte de Jamestown continue de fouiller des parties de l'île. Faites un tour avec un archéologue, un spécialiste de l'éducation ou un garde forestier pour connaître les dernières découvertes. Pause déjeuner ou collation rapide au café Dale House au bord de l’eau avant de poursuivre vers l’Archaearium, un musée qui abrite certaines des découvertes les plus spectaculaires des deux millions d’artéfacts découverts depuis le lancement du projet de redécouverte de Jamestown en 1994
Près du site de la colonie d'origine, Jamestown Settlement raconte l'histoire de la Virginie du XVIIe siècle, depuis l'arrivée des colons anglais à Jamestown en 1607, jusqu'aux rencontres et événements culturels qui ont jeté les bases d'une nouvelle nation. Le monde de Jamestown, la première colonie anglaise permanente des États-Unis, s’anime à travers le cinéma, les expositions dans les galeries et l’histoire de la vie en plein air.
Le musée de la révolution américaine à Yorktown raconte à nouveau l’histoire de la fondation de la nation, du crépuscule de la période coloniale à l’aurore de la Constitution et au-delà. De nouvelles galeries intérieures passionnantes présentent des artefacts d'époque, des environnements immersifs, des expositions interactives et des films, notamment «The Siege of Yorktown», avec un écran surround à 180 degrés et des effets spéciaux dramatiques.
Voyez où l'indépendance américaine a été gagnée au Yorktown Battlefield, administré par le National Park Service dans le cadre du parc national historique colonial. Ici le 19 octobre 1781, les forces britanniques dirigées par Lord Charles Cornwallis se rendirent aux armées combinées américaine et française dirigées par le général George Washington.

Not far from each others, Jamestown, Williamsburg, and Yorktown, collectively tell the stories of how America became British colony in 1607 (Jamestown), how people lived in the colonial-era (Williamsburg), and how the American defeated the British to have won the revolutionary war in 1781 (Yorktown). The area is very interesting not only for the history but also for its beautiful sceneries along James River and York River. Sunset at James River is stunning. We watched it from Jamestown Beach Event Park in Williamsburg. We also took the Jamestown-Scottland ferry to see sceneries of both sides of the river from the ferry boat and watched the birds flying around the boat. Surprisingly, the 20 minutes ferry ride is free, and the line for getting on the boat was short and quick. All in all, we enjoyed our visit in the area!
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughtful and detailed review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed exploring the rich history of Jamestown, Williamsburg, and Yorktown, as well as taking in the beautiful scenery along the James and York Rivers. It’s wonderful that the sunset at James River and the ferry ride added to your experience. Your kind words mean a lot, and we’re so glad your visit was memorable.
Such an awesome exhibit! Very informative but also so fun and felt like an adventure! The entire towns were beautiful beyond words and the people we met were all amazing! Kids and adults in the group were engaged the entire visit!
What I saw and did at the various sites and museums was well presented and thorough. However, I had difficulty getting a clear description of the Triangle Tour, never able to print the voucher even with an agent’s assistance, did not get clear instructions . Somehow I mistakenly understood that we were meeting at the Visitor’s Center, traveling in an air conditioned bus with a guide to the three cities with an included colonial lunch in Jamestown. After two Days of trying to understand, a volunteer set me straight and was able to experience Jamestown and Williamsburg. Because of the wasted time I never was able to see Yorktown. Overall the solo tour was satisfying, very educational and worth the cost. I would recommend it .
The multi day pass allowed us better opportunity to see, and spend more time in all the areas. However, we visited during midweek, so we were disappointed so many buildings were closed, and no outdoor reenactments were held. Overall, it was still wonderful to see, and walk the historic streets and sites.
We went back for three days and still didn’t see everything. During this trip, we visited Colonial Williamsburg and Jamestown only. Since it was summer, it was very hot, and some outdoor activities were closed. However, the indoor activities had strong air conditioning, which made a big difference. The historic artifacts and recreations were amazing to see. We especially enjoyed the interactive experiences, such as playing the harpsichord and touching the different types of materials used to make garments in the 1700s. If you visit in the summer, bring cooling towels. We also brought a portable chair and towel for sitting, but we didn’t end up needing them because there were benches throughout the area. I definitely recommend making lunch and dinner reservations ahead of time because the popular restaurants get fully booked. Also, buy your tickets in advance if possible, since the ticket lines were long. Scooters are available to rent for anyone who needs one. Because it was so hot, they handed out water bottles during our visit, which was very appreciated. That may have been a special Fourth of July weekend perk, but it was a nice touch. The live events were spectacular; they had marching soldiers re-enacting 1700 soldiers. They had actors who played key roles like Jefferson reading the Declartions of indepence and Layfayette speaking in a theatre it was wonderful!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! We're thrilled that your three-day trip allowed you to fully explore and enjoy Colonial Williamsburg and Jamestown, despite the summer heat. It’s wonderful to hear that the historical artifacts, interactive experiences, and live events left such a memorable impression. Your suggestions, such as bringing cooling towels, reserving meals, and purchasing tickets in advance, are greatly appreciated and will undoubtedly help others plan their visits. We’re glad the indoor air conditioning and the availability of benches enhanced your comfort, and it’s great to know that details like water bottles contributed positively to your experience. As a side note for other readers, Colonial Williamsburg does not offer scooter rentals. However, we have a local company who makes this easy for guests to rent scooters. Thank you for sharing your insights, and we’re honored to be part of a trip that you so warmly recommend!
Amazing adventure! The people working colonies are so knowledgeable and friendly! We loved the experience. I would recommend it to everyone! Well kept sites, clean, easy to navigate. They had cooling tents since it was hot out.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your adventure and found the staff knowledgeable and friendly. It's great that you appreciated the well-maintained sites, ease of navigation, and thoughtful amenities like the cooling tents. Your recommendation means a lot, and we're glad the experience left such a positive impression on you!
The tour guide Elizabeth was wonderful. Very informative. Very nice person. She answered people’s questions. I would highly recommend this company Viator.
We were very disappointed with the lack of docents to give information. It’s a huge place and if you have difficulty walking at least 3 miles you will want to rent a scooter and that price was $70 not $55 as indicated on their website.
Thank you for your feedback. To clarify, regarding the scooter rental, that is a private company. Colonial Williamsburg does not rent scooters. We did check their website and they do advertise $70 as the rate for scooters that can handle up to 325 pounds. Regarding docents, the Colonial Williamsburg Historic Trades and Skills community uses 18th-century tools and techniques to apprentice in and eventually master more than 20 historic trades and skills. They interact with all guests when visiting the trade building. Our historical buildings, such as the Capitol, the Palace and the Wythe House have tour guides to provide information.
Colonial Williamsburg is a must, so beautiful. Great history and Characters stayed in the period. Martha Washington was great. There is lots of walking - scooters are avail.
My adult daughter and I are here and enjoying every minute. HISTORY is fun! Learn from the experts who are trying to preserve and educate 🩷
