Be sure to let us know how your trip goes. I've never been there, but from what the others are telling you, it sure sounds like a lot of fun!!!

Here is an online tour. Watch and it will give you an idea of the "must sees". Sorry I can't help more. Did the tour as a school trip. Grandparents lived there, Mother worked there. Us kids thought it was boring LOL. We like Jamestown better. Some day I'll go back and see it with more mature eyes and less childhood energy!!

We visited there this fall. They have docents dressed in costume in the various homes/shops/bldgs and they all love the history and their jobs. My favorite was the wig shop and the dressmaker's shop. So interesting. We purchased a three-day entry ticket from AAA ahead of time, but don't bother. When you get to the visitor center at Historic Williamsburg you will find they have specials which include Yorktown and Jamestown. Like most places, you can spend conservatively or not-so-much. We ate at three of the taverns in HW and the food was very good. Christianna Campbells was delicious and worth the price for the experience. Reservations are encouraged for evening meals--lunch we just put our name in at the door, short wait time. Not all the buildings are open every day, so tour them in the order that seems right to you. The riverfront at Yorktown has been redone--had a great lunch at one of the restaurants there after touring the historic part. Enjoy!

I had went with a friend a couple of years ago. She has an RV we had camped at the Anvil Campgrounds. Great place nice people. We didn't go on any tours just went by ourselves. Alot of places weren't open. But it might be different with a chartered tour. I know one thing Make Sure you bring Warm clothing for this time of year. Have fun.
