Question 1

What makes this tour different from other Jamestown tours?

Accepted Answer

This is not a standard scripted tour. Our tours are led by award-winning, published historians who bring Jamestown to life through storytelling, deep research, and engaging conversation. Every tour is immersive, thoughtful, and tailored to the group.

Question 2

Is the tour good for people who already know a lot about history?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Many of our guests are well-read and curious. We go beyond basic facts to explore lesser-known stories, context, and interpretation.

Question 3

Is transportation provided for these tours?

Accepted Answer

Transportation is not included with the tour, so each guest will need to provide their own transportation to the meeting location. Don't worry! We will send you all of the details in advance so finding us is simple.

Question 4

Is lunch included with the tour?

Accepted Answer

Lunch is not included with the ticket price. A short break is built in to the schedule so guests can enjoy lunch at the Jamestown Settlement Cafe
at their own expense. Our goal is to keep the tour ticket price lower
by leaving lunch flexible and offering guests the option to bring their own lunch.

What is the recommended attire for these tours?

as most of our paths follow cobblestone,brick walks, or natural earth terrain.
