Top Williamsburg Architecture Tours

Having visited Williamsburg multiple times previously, I booked this tour for my wife and myself hoping to get an in depth experience with a local historian and add some knowledge on the restoration and the architecture at the time. Our guide Dennis could not have been more impressive. His historical preservation background and knowledge of building and architecture were exactly what I was hoping for. We walked and talked for hours and the time flew by. This tour is not inexpensive but I would book it again in a heartbeat. This tour will give a much more in depth knowledge of Williamsburg and its restoration. Thank you for including this tour in your collection. It is definitely one of the highlights of our Williamsburg memories.

Excellent experience with this architectural tour. Great combo of the history, culture and architectural designs in Williamsburg. Highly recommended!

Dennis was absolutely great! Super knowledgeable and a great conversationalist. Would highly recommend him! I’d take this tour all over again without any hesitation

We had a great experience with Dennis touring some of our nation's most historic buildings, learning different architectural designs and touring inside Colonial Williamsburg's buildings. Two thumbs up!

Excellent tour. The leader was very knowledgeable and personable. He answered all my questions. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants in-depth information on the buildings in Colonial Williamsburg

I’ve been to CW many times and never stopped to looked closely at the intricate architectural detail of the buildings. This tour provided a detailed and intimate look at period design and architecture. The host was a wealth of knowledge and information, describing details one may normally overlook when experiencing the history of CW. I learned things I never knew before and strongly recommend this tour for any history of architecture lover. Come prepared for a great educational experience. I would not recommend this tour for children, as it does go in depth into architecture and leaves out the “entertainment” factor kids would likely desire from CW.

Five-star tour to learn about Colonial Williamsburg architecture and restoration. I was extremely impressed how he connected the British and Colonial architecture to Palladianism. The history of Williamsburg was explained in detail without being boring and our tour guide's enthusiasm and sense of humor was wonderful. The Governor's Palace was the prime example of Palladianism and Georgian designs. I was surprised that the tour included us with a one-day pass for Colonial Williamsburg buildings. It was worth every penny.
