Has anyone been to Colonial Williamsburg before? 😍👇

[@zairehaylock4974]

No.

[@PLefevre95]

I’m currently visiting Colonial Williamsburg and it’s awesome!

[@LaurenZRay]

@@PLefevre95 what’s been your fav part? 😍

[@PLefevre95]

@@LaurenZRay the knowledgeable interpreters; having dinner at the King’s Arm Tavern and the Governor’s Palace😍were the highlight of my visit.

[@LaurenZRay]

@@PLefevre95 that sounds so fun! How was the dinner?

[@laynefangs]

really enjoying your vids ~ especially as a DMV native always searching for cool things to do in the extended area

[@LaurenZRay]

Thank you so much Layne! Let me know if you want to see any specific videos from me ☺️

If you stay at a property owned by Colonial Williamsburg, you usually get length of stay passes for the Historic Area which would save some money. I believe you can get up to 2 passes per room.

[@grayerthangreen]

Yes, we stayed at the Williamsburg Lodge and got 2 free passes that lasted for a few days, I think

The Thomas Jefferson actor’s improv was too good 😂

[@LaurenZRay]

Haha for sure 😂

[@Little.Hikers.Explore]

That place looks so huge! Love that you don't need guides for the whole thing. The Thomas Jefferson act looks really funny, I love historical places that are chill.

[@LaurenZRay]

Yeah I’m glad they run it really chill too. It was seriously so fun

[@kevinsscooteradventuresand1005]

I live here in Wiliamsburg! Its amazing to be able to walk thru Colonial Williamsburg whenever I want. Simply amazing.... great video.

[@LaurenZRay]

That’s so cool! I’m jealous 😍😍. Also thank you!! 💚

[@mammabear2183]

Thank you for a great summary. I appreciate the vegan option for lunch!

[@LaurenZRay]

@@mammabear2183 of course! 💚

[@jb7591]

thanks, I'm a Aussie heading that way soon.

[@NevadaLamb]

Wonderful video!! I’m visiting Williamsburg and Jamestown tomorrow. Disappointed how they charge for everything, but looks like just walking around there’s still a lot to see.

[@LaurenZRay]

Yes if you don’t want to pay for Williamsburg, you can still experience the vibes - you just can’t go inside anywhere.

[@LaurenZRay]

Thank you! 💚💚

[@grayerthangreen]

Thank you for this! We did almost all the same things you did, including the pizza, except we did not have time for the museum. We must come back. We also ran out of time to stop in Richmond. We had wanted to try Ipanema on Grace St.

[@LaurenZRay]

Right! We barely had time for the museum!! Also another great restaurant in Richmond is 821 Cafe. Such a big menu & great selections 😍

[@MC-jj9zd]

I have been there twice and i love it there❤❤

[@LaurenZRay]

I can’t wait to go back! 😍

[@SeaBassTian]

Glad that I checked this out. I'm embarrassed to say that I have not been down to CW from RVA yet after living here for over three years and thought I might swing by for a few hours to visit there but now think that I'd need more time, at least a full day. So much too explore!

[@LaurenZRay]

@@SeaBassTian for sure you gotta check it out! 😊 Yes, so much to see - def takes a full day! Have fun!

[@bowlingorama1]

My son's birthday is in December and we usually go for Grand Illumination. You have to book dinner super early for that time, if you want eat in a tavern. It's one of our favorite things to do.

[@LaurenZRay]

This is a great tip! Thank you for this 💚

[@lawriefoster5587]

Five times..concerts at the Governors Palace, The Inn etc..Wythe House. Also touring the Plantations along the James..many fond memories.

[@LaurenZRay]

The concerts sound so fun!

[@harleyhistoria]

Hi. Thanks for your tips. I will be in Williamsburg next year, in June. I' m from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and I' ll drive from Florida to NY and Niagara Falls. I've just included Williamsburg in my route, after whatching your youtube video. I really thank you for it and so sorry for my bad English, because I am learning yet. See you! Take care!

[@LaurenZRay]

Your English is great! Sounds like such an epic trip!! If you can fit in Washington DC, that could be cool too. ☺️

[@JBguitar-cj8pc]

Don’t forget to hit up Busch Gardens 😎

[@LaurenZRay]

@@JBguitar-cj8pc so true!!

[@AH-cy4md]

This was actually helpful! Especially the tip on the vegan options at the restaurant 😋 Thanks

[@LaurenZRay]

Awesome!! Thank you so much for the kind words. Hope your trip is a fun one!😍

[@thomasaccuntius9946]

Nice video and good info. But let the guy talk!!!! You ask a question but don't let him finish his answer. That drives me nuts.

[@LaurenZRay]

Haha yeah, you’ll find that happens a lot when filming. If it makes you feel better he talks a lot in real life without interruption. 😝

[@leeshepherd8486]

Hey im going to colonial Williamsburg to take in all the history and try to experience what life was like in colonial VA BTW im having lunch at mellow mushroom 😂

[@LaurenZRay]

Right!! Haha

[@kathleenk7726]
