Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Ontdek Colonial Williamsburg en ervaar al deze beroemde historische stad die City te bieden heeft. Leer meer over het leven in het koloniale Amerika en de Amerikaanse revolutie. Geniet van de historische heropvoeringen en theatervoorstellingen, de levendige tuinen en kunstmusea, plus begeleide en rondleidingen door de oorspronkelijke 18e-eeuwse gebouwen en huizen en persoonlijke interactie met de stedelingen.
Historische Jamestowne biedt veel te zien en te doen. Een typisch bezoek kan 2 tot 3 uur duren, maar degenen die zich dieper in de geschiedenis van Jamestown willen verdiepen, kunnen gemakkelijk een halve dag of langer het eiland verkennen. Bekijk de archeologie in actie terwijl het team van Jamestown Rediscovery delen van het eiland blijft opgraven. Volg een rondleiding met een archeoloog, onderwijsspecialist of parkwachter om te horen over de nieuwste ontdekkingen. Pauze voor de lunch of een snelle hap in het Dale House Café aan de rand van het water voordat je verder gaat naar het Archaearium, een museum dat enkele van de meest spectaculaire vondsten van de twee miljoen artefacten huisvest die zijn ontdekt sinds het Jamestown Rediscovery Project in 1994 begon
Vlakbij de site van de oorspronkelijke kolonie vertelt Jamestown Settlement het verhaal van de 17e-eeuwse Virginia, van de aankomst van Engelse kolonisten in Jamestown in 1607 tot de culturele ontmoetingen en gebeurtenissen die de zaden van een nieuwe natie plantten. De wereld van Jamestown, Amerika's eerste permanente Engelse kolonie, komt tot leven door middel van film, tentoonstellingen over galeries en buiten levende geschiedenis.
Het American Revolution Museum in Yorktown vertelt opnieuw het verhaal van de oprichting van de natie, van de schemering van de koloniale periode tot het aanbreken van de grondwet en daarna. Spannende nieuwe overdekte galerijen hebben historische artefacten, meeslepende omgevingen, interactieve tentoonstellingen en films, waaronder 'The Siege of Yorktown', met een 180-graden surround-scherm en spectaculaire speciale effecten.
Zie waar de Amerikaanse onafhankelijkheid werd gewonnen op het Yorktown Battlefield, beheerd door de National Park Service als onderdeel van het Colonial National Historical Park. Hier op 19 oktober 1781 gaven Britse troepen onder Lord Charles Cornwallis zich over aan de gecombineerde Amerikaanse en Franse legers onder leiding van generaal 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 🩷
