Great sunset tour on the James River! Our party of 10 friends had a really enjoyable sunset tour…read morewith Captain Corey and William this past week. The boat is clean with comfortable seat cushions and pop-up tables in each row for drinks and snacks, which you may bring on board. We enjoyed the wine and baked goods we brought with us. The ride is mostly pretty smooth since the boat is a pontoon boat. We had a short period of time with some rocking while watching the sun set, but it didn't last long. Captain Corey's commentary about the James River and Jamestown Island was fun and interesting. We saw wildlife such as eagles and great blue herons. When the boat was out on the James River, we saw the Jamestown-Surry Ferry. We then went close to the recreated ships at Jamestown Settlement. The sunset on the James is spectacular. Though we had some clouds, it was still lovely. As the sun sets, they play music, which adds to your enjoyment. The tour lasted an hour. I highly recommend for a couple, a family, and a group of friends!

This was just the funnest experience! The pier where the boost was docked was just lovely. The…read moreguide for the trip was friendly and funny and the scenic hour went too fast. We had a wonderful boat load of people and it helped that the guide engaged us all on several occasions, giving us the opportunity to get to know one another. We would definitely do it again.

It was only this year (2024), did I realize that Williamsburg has a haunted river cruise. It…read moredeparts at the James City County Marina, which I also did not know existed. It's a one hour haunted river tour on a clean 28 passenger pontoon boat, which has a bathroom on board. Our tour guide (Carter?) was a great storyteller, which is crucial when it comes to haunted tours. He brought the macabre stories back to life & his humor added to my enjoyment, without being cheesy or overly peppy. It was a nice hour on the James River while we listened to ghostly & historical tales (many I had not heard). While it was not scary (honestly, what haunted tours ever are?) , it was very entertaining & peaceful and rather nice to cruise the river at night. It was great that they tastefully decorate the boat, setting the tone & mood for a hauntingly good evening! While you are not permitted to take video of the tour itself, you are encouraged to take as many photos as you wish. I would say that this is one of the best ghost tours I've been on in a long time. Also the only haunted tour I ever experienced on a boat, which was cool! Meet at the marina 15 minutes prior to the tour, they will have a sign. There is a bathroom at or near the Billsburg Brewery which is directly across from the marina. Parking can be challenging if there's an event at the brewery. Tours can be canceled due to inclement weather or not enough participants.

It was fantastic! The story teller was one of the best we've ever heard, thanks Theo! Love the…read morelighting and decor too!

It's difficult to hide my excitement of a road. But no ordinary road mind you. A historic trail…read moreturned present day park most likely used by the Indians to travel by horse. It stretches 23 beautiful scenic miles and cuts through gorgeous wooded terrain. The Parkway runs along the James River in sections and is an absolute must if time permits to avoid the highway and travel at slower speeds to enjoy the scenery. The project to build the Parkway began in the 1930's and coincides closely with the construction and rehabilitation of Colonial Williamsburg. The project concluded in 1957. The road connects the Historic Triangle of Yorktown, Williamsburg and Jamestown Virginia all on one incredible tour. The Parkway is considered a park and is ran by the National Park Service. It also has the unique designation of being just 1 of 31 of its kind considered a "National Scenic Byway". Speed limits range from 35-45 mph and are patrolled by the NPS. Semi trucks are not permitted. The surface is concrete in excellent condition and well maintained. You can jump off and on at the tree cities. I can't help but be giddy about such a cool road with neat history connecting such historic communities. Best times of the year are Fall and Summer. Whether a tourist, or local it's a fun road to travel.

Very cool historic site that has much more to offer than I was able to enjoy in a day. I'm not a…read morehuge historian, but it was quite remarkable to see the part of the country that has been preserved and restored to match the original colonies. We got to see a barrel being made, a cannon being fired (dry fired), a court session, and lots of buildings and other historical items. The person I was with has been here a few times and said they have options to stay on site and also there are several very good places to eat. Would be a great place for the family or yourself if you want a piece of Americas history.

From a historical perspective, this is a great place to visit. (5 Star) But I would have to say I…read morewas very disappointed in the visitor center. There's a lot of space and opportunity and they really miss the mark providing no real historical experience within the center itself. The outside structure of the visitor center is a C at Best. Gutters are falling off flashing is missing tiles need to be replaced. It's very tired compared to the visitor center down at Jamestown. I was disappointed that the plantation exhibit along the walkway looks to be overgrown and not often for public viewing. It used to be such a great experience to show what life was like for slaves and owners. The colonial town and structures were great to visit, but even several of those structures need more care... gardens and landscaping are mostly weeds and unkept. I would've thought the location would be in pristine condition. Getting ready to celebrate 250 years. (2 Star)
