adults.
First tour - 10-12:30pm - $6.00 a person
Includes a 2.5 hour guided tour featuring Jamestown

Powhatan Indian village, colonial fort, 1607 replica
ships, and a riverfront discovery area.
Second Tour - 2-4:30pm - $6.00 a person
and includes the same as above.
Regular admission is $14.00 for adults and $6.25 for
kids and we are getting a price of $6.00 per person

__________________________________________________________
Colonial Williamsburg: May 20th:
We are also offering anyone the chance to do Colonial
Williamsburg as well. This is the last year that tickets
will be available for $5.00 a person with under 6 FREE.
Next year 2010 they are raising their prices and most
likely tickets will be around $10.00 a person and a small
fee for kids ages 3 to 6. I was able to work with them
this year and keep our rate at $5.00 a person for 2009.
Come and visit Colonial Williamsburg on the 20th of May
from 9-5pm. You can go to Jamestown first and then come
back and do Williamsburg for the rest of the day or
vice versa.
If you did both museums or etc it would cost you $11.00
a person. That is not a bad deal considering it is
$14.00 for Jamestown and at least $28.00 for adults
for Williamsburg.
At Williamsburg this year you will p/u your tickets at
the group arrivals building. The staff there will be
handing out your tickets to you. All you have to do is
show up, go inside, tell them that you are with the REACH
group and give them your first and last name. That way
you don't need to catch up with me. I won't have any
tickets at all - they will be at Williamsburg on the
day of 20th.
There are no refunds on this -so if you don't show you
just miss out.
