Attention Teachers
For an extraordinary field trip for your students look no further than a Colonial Connections guided tour of Virginia’s Historic Triangle! Here, over 400 years of American history unfolds and draws you in to the passion, tension and challenges that built this great nation. This is where America started!
Let us customize a school group tour that is uniquely yours. No two adventures are alike. There are a variety of daily educational programs to complement each student trip. Our tours address educational standards and support your classroom curriculum. From spirited exchanges with 18th-century colonists to marching in the footsteps of George Washington's army, students will experience the road our patriots took to secure our freedom. After the sun goes down, dining and ghostly tales entertain.
From our Teachers
"We have worked with Sophia and Colonial Connections for over ten years and they make planning our trip for 150 fourth graders and their parents a seamless endeavor. All reservations and tickets are ready to go when we arrive in Williamsburg. Because of their hard work, I am able to enjoy the trip with my students instead of worrying about the details."
~Sue S. - 4th Grade Teacher, Spiller Elementary
“Thanks to Colonial Connections our trip across Virginia is always affordable, exciting and well planned. We are very appreciative of Sophia and her crew for always coming through and delivering a first rate tour for our students and their parents, and for making our job less stressful.”
~Barbara E. – 4th Grade Teacher, Max Meadows Elementary
“I take a group of 8th graders from California to the East Coast every June and I can't imagine doing it without Colonial Connections standing behind me. We get the best personalized service even though we are a smaller school, usually between 20 and 35 people. Unlike other "larger" companies Colonial Connections does not pressure me to combine my trip with other schools to maximize their profit by filling every seat on the motorcoach. We have a great time with our kids and our guide who leads us through Williamsburg, Jamestown, Washington, DC, Philadelphia and Manhattan. You can't get better more personalized service and you are NOT just a group number or a pay check with Colonial Connections!”
Karen N. – 8th Grade Teacher, Los Banos
“Hands down the best company to work with in planning my Williamsburg, VA field trip. Their evening programs are outstanding, the guides have a great rapport with our children, and the Early American Medical evening program is the best! I also love having them handle my hotel and itinerary needs!
