Ideal to start a visit of Williamsburg. On the day we visited the guide (in period costume) was excellent and made the visit particularly interesting in spite of the large number of visitors. A very instructive presentation.

Our tour of the Governor's Palace was conducted by an elderly woman in colonial era clothing and her presentation of everything was excellent. When we were taken into the final room we were addressed by another man of the colonial area and he talked about the colonists uprising against England.

Our guide did an excellent job of helping us to understand the governor. She used humor and appropriate sarcasm to explain the things we would see in each room.

Beautiful location in the heart of Colonial Williamsburg. Tours are informative and fun. Staff is very knowledgeable.
We've visited Colonial Williamsburg a dozen times at least, and this was our favorite trip -- guides were friendly, made the tour fun and came up with tidbits that we'd never heard before!
Worth the visit but the deaf are left out due to no sign language interprters or script booklets. Walking in footsteps of Washington, Jefferson, etc is a thrill.
We visited with a tour and really enjoyed the display. The guides were fabulous ! Very knowledgable, very patient with student questions. Loved it... But must admit the guide made the day!
Governor's Palace was a beautiful place to visit. The tour guides are in character and tell a great story of long ago. Lots of breakables, not stroller or little kid friendly. Huge staircase. Great adult or school age child visit.
This is where the Royal Governor, who ran VA., which at the time extended to the Mississippi, lived with his family. A very impressive building and grounds. The tour guides are good. Each time we visit we learn more about it.
Our guide was well informed, amenable to questions and played his part explaining the roll of government and the people of that time. Recommend it highly
