ABOUT THE Tour Guide: TRISH THOMAS
Trish has spent a lifetime studying history, especially the history of Virginia, and giving tours. She’s from Virginia Beach, and for years gave tours on the boardwalk about shipwrecks, pirates and the heroic Coast Guard lifesaving stations. She regularly appeared at the historic houses of Virginia Beach, and was a docent at the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk.
David, Trish’s husband and co-owner, is the one you will likely talk to when you call or if you need help with anything before or after the tour. David has won 30 creative awards, but according to him, the most cherished of his accomplishments was marrying Trish.
The two have been owners of Williamsburg Walking Tours since they moved to Williamsburg in May 2011.
