Itinerario
La tua guida autorizzata ti incontrerà all'elegante Williamsburg Inn, 136 E. Francis Street, e ti scorterà indietro nel tempo fino al XVIII secolo. Mentre camminiamo su Duke of Gloucester Street entreremo in una città diversa, dal ritmo più lento. Impareremo perché i Coloni hanno deciso di staccarsi dalla Gran Bretagna. Sperimenteremo le viste, i suoni e i profumi del 1700, quando la Virginia era la colonia più grande e ricca dell'America britannica.
Ci immergeremo nel XVIII secolo mentre camminiamo su Duke of Gloucester Street, "la strada più storica d'America". Ci fermeremo a vedere il Campidoglio, dove i nostri Padri Fondatori discussero la tassazione britannica e infine proposero l'indipendenza. Lungo la strada passeremo per trafficati commerci, negozi di mercanti e taverne. E magari anche visitare le celle buie e le catene della Public Gail (Prigione) dove erano rinchiusi i pirati di Barbanera.
Passeggiando per Duke of Gloucester Street, parleremo del ruolo della Virginia nel dichiarare la nostra indipendenza e parleremo della vita coloniale qui nella capitale. Vedremo interpreti in costume e osserveremo i negozi affollati, i mestieri lavorativi e le taverne per i viaggiatori affamati dove i nostri Padri Fouding discutevano di indipendenza. Ci fermeremo al tribunale dove condivideremo le punizioni inflitte ai criminali condannati e magari faremo una foto con i piedi negli "stock".
Sulla strada per il magnifico Palazzo del Governatore, passeremo da carrozze trainate da cavalli, forse incontreremo un patriota, e saliremo a piedi fino a Palace Green per vedere la villa che metteva in mostra la ricchezza e il potere dell'impero britannico.
Concluderemo il nostro tour presso la storica Bruton Parish Church, vicino a Merchants Square. Questo ti dà la possibilità di continuare a visitare la zona storica o di visitare Piazza dei Mercanti con i suoi 40 negozi e ristoranti. I negozi includono Lululemon, Talbot's e Scotland House e ristoranti premiati, dalla cucina raffinata ai locali informali. Potresti voler continuare a fare tour o mangiare un boccone, o fare shopping di souvenir. La tua Guida ti farà conoscere i loro luoghi preferiti!

Cyndi was amazing! She was not only accommodating, but a wealth of knowledge! She answered all of our questions, gave us insider tips to the area, and shared an abundance of resources to continue our learning after we left! We truly appreciate her time and expertise.
Hi Fiona! And you and Josh are the best too! It was delightful visiting Williamsburg with you! And it's even more fun when my guests love history, like you do! Thank you so much and safe travels! Cyndi
This is an informative private tour from Cyndi who is a wealth of knowledge, a great listener as well as communicator and a great personality.
Huzzah Mark! It was so fun to go back in time with you! I'm so glad we had a chance to discover this beautiful 18th-century town and to stroll the historic area together. You both made it really fun too! Please stay in touch and let me know about all your adventures! 😃
We thoroughly enjoyed our private tour with Cyndi Young. With it being just the two of us, Cyndi fully customized our tour, accommodating our needs and providing MUCH MORE than a scripted series of points of interest. Cyndi is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the history of Williamsburg and the American Revolution, as well as the amenities and services available to guests. She has a kind and engaging manner.
Hi Philip and Janet! Thank you for a special day getting together and going back in time with you! I can see how much you love Williamsburg and our history. And it was fun seeing some secret gardens I'm so glad you had a good time. Your enthusiasm really showed! Please stay in touch with me let me know about all your adventures! Huzzah! Cyndi 😃
This was a great tour with our guide, Cyndi! She was informative and such a wealth of knowledge of all things Colonial Williamsburg and beyond. She paid close attention to our comfortability today, as it was hot and muggy, so she made sure to stop in shady parts to talk history with us (my husband and I). She gave us plenty of recommendations for food prior to our tour and recommendations for books to read after our tour, and the afternoon was just so pleasant. She is friendly, warm, and knowledgeable. Book with her now; you won’t be disappointed!
Hi Katie and Andrew, It was a joy to be with you this week! It's always so much fun to be with guests like you who love history. And you teach history too, which must be so rewarding for you! It was a fun afternoon, and thank you for spending it with me! Please stay in touch and let me know about all your adventures!
Cyndi of Friendly Williamsburg Tours contacted us prior to and after the tour. She was very helpful and answered a lot of questions. I was anxious about how everything would work. Cyndi is very experienced with visiting Williamsburg, so she was able to reassure me. My husband and I enjoyed having a private tour--this was our first time! Cyndi is very knowledgeable about Williamsburg and its history. She is very friendly and polite. She modified the tour for us as our ability to walk very far on a 95 degree day was limited. She timed it perfectly so we got to see and hear the musicians marching down the street in their historic costumes. Folks, you'll really enjoy a private tour with Cyndi!
Hi Sally! You and your husband Roger are quite the adventurers! It was an honor to be with you on our tour. Not only did you explore Colonial Williamsburg with me but during your stay you drove over to Jamestown and then up to Yorktown to explore the battlefield there. I'm so glad you are discovering the area and that you are also taking your time doing it. I'm so glad we had a chance to sit every now and then and to see the fife and drum parade. Exciting! Please, once again thank Roger for his dedication and service to our country. We are grateful! I am, and I know you are, very proud of him, and it was truly an honor to be with you both. Please keep on traveling. Huzzah!
Cyndi Young was awesome!! Extremely informative. The tour does require walking, however Cyndi was very accommodating when we needed to sit and rest. Most personal experience… we got to meet George Washington and discussed his upcoming trip to the southern states.
Hi Jason, It was such a pleasure to stroll back in time with you and your parents! Yes, wasn't it fun meeting President Washington? It was kind of him to chat with us on his journey through our city to the southern states of the new United States of Ameria. He is so dignified and engaging. Thank you for joining us and please come back soon!
Cyndi was incredibly knowledgeable about details, dates, relationships and events in the history of America’s beginnings! She is also very personal and thoughtful and quite concerned out our comfort. Cyndi felt like a comfortable friend with a vast store of information.
Hello Kathy! Thank you so much. It was fun going back in time with you! And it is great to be able to tie up the tidbits of history here that we've absorbed over the years. And to actually see our history in action here in Colonial Williamsburg. An enlightening adventure! Please come back again soon and see us!
From the first few minutes, introducing us to the main characters of Williamsburg, to the very end of our walk, Cyndi shared the rich and important History of this area. She helped tie up some loose ends for us as we asked questions, even how the Queen City, in NC, ties into this story. Cyndi definitely knows and enjoys this Beautiful area. We had a great time; stopped to take pictures along the way, saw a few of the main reenactors (G.W. being one), and learned a lot about this Historical town, from Cyndi. We think you will also!
Thank you Roger! Yes, we had such fun! Yes, isn't it great making those connections between our historic Colonial towns. We had so many "Aha" moments! Thank you so much for joining me on our trip back in time, and please come and see us again soon. Huzzah!
Cyndi was exactly the right person for our tour. She filled in the bits on US history we were missing - not having grown up here - and gave us great jumping off points to go on with. Got loads of local information too. My ten year old was completely engaged for the entire tour as was I! I absolutely recommend this tour and guide!!!
Dear Chantal, It was a pleasure to explore Williamsburg with you and your daughter! She is insightful and smart! I love chatting with our guests from other countries and who are eager to learn more about our American history. Don't forget to watch the musical "1776" (available on DVD on Amazon.com and on Amazon Prime). It is just as relevant today as it was in 1972, and is hysterically funny. It is a good intro to our history and celebrates the founding of the United States. Thank you, and please come back and see us soon!
I met up with Cyndi Young who was gracious, passionate, extremely knowledgeable and knew where the sheep were hiding that day! She paced things so well, kept the story alive. We stopped for a treat, pictures whenever I wanted. Warm, engaging and easy to spend time with. We went “ over “ scheduled time. I never felt rushed. Highly recommended!!!!
Thank you so much, Rhonda! We had a great day, didn't we? And we found the sheep! Fun! I'm so glad you're exploring places you love and living your dreams! Please stay in touch and please come by again soon!
