Short and sweet

Fairly good value. Didn’t buy passes as we were on a whirlwind tour, Jamestown , Yorktown, Williamsburg. My wife and I shared audio. Each stop on circuit had about 1.2 minutes of info ; some stops had additional 30 secs of info if you were more interested. For the typical tourist , short and sweet; I wanted more, but my wife thought it was adequate as I’m more interested in history than she was

Careful Reviewer ,

Great stories

We did not buy the tickets at the visitor center since they cost $45 per person! We used the App instead and we followed the recommended route on the App. We were not able to go inside some of the buildings that are owned by the visitor center but we got info about all of them from the App. The “period” dressed folks scattered around were happy to talk and answer our questions also. Did not need a ticket to do that!
I am glad we chose to skip the tickets and used the App. It was a lot cheaper and we still got to absorb the atmosphere of the colonial city.

Literally saved $135

We found enormous value in this tour. It allowed us to walk around the town and learn about the significance of different spots without having to buy the town’s ticket that gets pushed on you at every turn (which is extremely expensive for a group of 3 like ours). I LOVED the flexibility this tour allowed. We actually only saw a portion of Colonial Williamsburg on the first day, and finished up the tour when we passed through again at the end of our trip.

Developer Response ,

Yay! We're so delighted to know that your whole group enjoyed the tour! The convenience of walking around at your pace is a huge benefit of this self-guided audio. I’m thrilled that we could bring Colonial Williamsburg to life. Thanks again!
