Colonial Williamsburg
Colonial Williamsburg lives today as it did in the 18th century. It was Britain’s largest colony, a political and cultural Center in the new world during the revolution. Follow the steps of our early patriots, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry. Shop in their shops, dine in their taverns, walk their cobblestone streets. This restoration gives the student a real history lesson, where one may truly picture oneself in the shoes of an early American settler. Jamestown , the first settlement in Virginia, and Yorktown and its battlefields are also part of our trip, as well as Busch Gardens for an exciting change of pace.
Lodging: Most hotels are located within walking distance of the historic area and have enclosed year round pools. They all welcome student groups.
All Itineraries are Custom Designed to Suit The Needs of Our Clients.
