Virginia's Colonial Williamsburg

Join us in October for our easy bike tours in Virginia. Located in a flat part of the state known as the Tidewater area, our Virginia bike tours are perfectly suited to school groups, family bike tours, as well as to history buffs and folks seeking to prolong their summer.

Our Virginia bike tours take us back to the 18th century, to Colonial Williamsburg on the eve of the American Revolution. Come, be part of the story, as the city comes alive to depict the days, months, and years leading up to and during the Revolutionary War.Cycle to Jamestown and Yorktown, which signify the beginning and end of English Colonial rule in America - for it was in 1607 that the English first landed on the swampy marshes of Jamestown, and then 174 years later the English were defeated in the Battle of Yorktown (1781), the final major battle of the American Revolutionary War. The Revolution secured independence for the United States, and a new nation began. Come, be part of the story, on your 21st century bicycle!
