This private tour picks you up from your Williamsburg hotel to visit Berkeley, Westover and Sherwood Forest Plantations.
Berkeley’s 1726 Georgian mansion is the birthplace of Benjamin Harrison V, signer of the Declaration of Independence, and also the birthplace of William Henry Harrison, 9th U.S. President, and his grandson, Benjamin Harrison, 23rd U.S. President. During the Civil War, Berkeley was occupied by General McClellan’s troops. While at Berkeley, General Butterfield composed the familiar tune “Taps”, played by his bugler. We will explore the Native American, Colonial and Civil War artifacts, along with historical paintings and exhibits in the 18th century basement museum.
At Westover, we tour the grounds of this beautiful Georgian mansion, its amazing gardens and secondary buildings.

5.00When I booked this tour I was looking for something fun and off the beaten path to do with my family on our vacation, what I was not expecting was to find one of this area’s historic gems. These is soooo much history here it was astonishing, and the property and the grounds where beautiful. I was totally blown away. Out guide Bambi was a delight and was incredible and was even about to answer some of my questions I had not beenable to get on some of our other her guides we had worked with. The service was great and she was very helpful and even customized it on the fly with information that she thought we would find interesting based on different things we had talked about! This was truly an unexpected highlight of our time in Williamsburg, and I would highly recommend this tour and this location to an person or persons who was looking to add a little some extra to there trip, or who was interested in a historical gem in this area. Truly enjoyed our entire experience, thank you Bambi! B.R.
