If 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 ❤️
