What to Expect

This three-mile walking tour through Williamsburg’s Historic Area begins at the Colonial Williamsburg Visitor Center and leads visitors past the most notable spots. We’ll share the context behind each site and the role it played in the Revolution, including the Public Gaol, the Capitol Building, Raleigh Tavern, the Courthouse, and the Magazine. Walk down the Duke of Gloucester Street, the main colonial thoroughfare, before seeing the spots where the historic area mingles with the modern town at Bruton Parish Church and the College of William and Mary. Our tour finishes up at the Governor’s Palace and its manicured estate.

Visitors who want to go inside the historic buildings, tour the Governor’s Palace Gardens, or see live shows can purchase a separate Colonial Williamsburg Pass at the Visitor Center.
