It was a full-day experience with lunch provided and ample clean restrooms. The time allocated at each stop was just right, and we enjoyed some free time as well. Overall, it was an excellent tour, and Matt is truly the best guide.”— Kelly_M on the Guided historic tour of Jamestown and Yorktown with lunch tour
Historic Triangle ticket — Jamestown, Williamsburg, and Yorktown
4.6· 118 reviewsFrom ₹12,470Seven-day access to five historic sites, including Colonial Williamsburg's museums and trade shops, covering early American history from Jamestown through Yorktown.
“I don't have much to say, so I will keep it short. I bought 7 annual passes based on the promise of many attractions but found it to be a letdown. It felt deserted, with hardly anyone in costumes and no interactions. There was no background music or live performances, and many tours were closed. Construction was ongoing in the main area. Despite paying extra for tickets that were not even checked, access was free for everyone. Snack prices were exorbitant. We did go on some tours, including a ghost tour, but it was unimpressive and not scary at all. Overall, I was disappointed and unlikely to return soon. While Jamestown was enjoyable, we never got to visit Yorktown.”— Tourist803056 on the Historic Triangle ticket — Jamestown, Williamsburg, and Yorktown tour
Private guided tour of Jamestown Settlement

“I suggest exploring on your own instead. The cost of the private tour did not justify the experience we received.”— Dale_C on the Private guided tour of Jamestown Settlement tour
