1.00This tour was nothing about Williamsburg. A total waist of time and money . If you want a tour about the purest and the Caribbean. It my be for you but their is nothing about American colonialisms.

5.00Our pirate guide Colin was excellent. He contacted us the day before the tour and gave us detailed information on where to park and meet for the tour. He was easy to spot when we arrived at our meeting point. He had quite an elaborate pirate costume so we had no doubt that we had found him. We were a small group (2 adults and 2 children aged 7 and 9). I would suggest this for kids a bit older than our grandchildren. The 9 year old payed attention (most of the time) and remembered quite a bit when quizzed after the tour. It was over our 7 year olds head for the most part. On the other hand, we were impressed with the wealth of information Colin provided and learned a great deal about the history of pirates in the Virginia area. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone interested in history. You will leave with a different perspective of the pirates of colonial Williamsburg. Wonderful tour!

5.00My girlfriend and I had the incredible opportunity to join the Ultimate Pirate Walking Tour in Colonial Williamsburg on the weekend of April 12th. Although our original tour was rained out on the 12th, we were fortunate enough to be rescheduled for the 13th, where we enjoyed a private tour experience. This adventure was truly enlightening as we delved into America’s fascinating pirate history, discovering captivating stories and insights along the way. We even left with some fantastic books to deepen our knowledge. If you’re passionate about history or intrigued by pirates, I can’t recommend this tour highly enough—it's a must-do experience!

“A Swashbuckling Adventure Through Colonial History!”

- Review from Viator
5.00If you’re looking for an entertaining yet educational experience in Colonial Williamsburg, the Pirate Tour is an absolute must! I went in expecting a fun adventure for all ages, and it did not disappoint. From the moment we set out, our guide – dressed in authentic pirate attire – captivated us with tales of daring buccaneers, colonial intrigue, and the real-life pirates who roamed Virginia’s waters. The tour is well-paced, blending pirate legends with historical context, so you feel like you’re stepping back in time. Along the way, we learned about the brutal realities of piracy, and even picked up some “pirate lingo.” Highlights included hearing about Blackbeard’s dramatic capture and the significant role of piracy in colonial economics and politics. Whether you’re a history buff or just in it for the swashbuckling fun, the Pirate Tour at Colonial Williamsburg is a fantastic way to experience this part of history. Highly recommended for families, groups, or anyone with a love for adventure! -Kim Anne ❤️
