Tourists in Williamsburg?

No bad experiences here! My d dated a member for a few years and still sees several of the brothers every week or so. I’ve met them and thought they were nice guys, cute (in a somewhat geeky but charming way), and that they all had good manners when meeting an old lady. But my d tells me that it was accepted practice to misguide the tourists. I hope it was just this frat, which was in trouble for lots of stuff while she was a student.

Walking around Williamsburg town - well, depends what you mean here. Tourists tend to congregate in CW, the outlets, attractions like Busch Gardens, the new shopping center on Monticello, and on Richmond Road. There are definitely restaurants favored by locals where tourists don’t usually go. The delis are primarily for the W & M community, and if someone gets in and out of the Cheese Shop efficiently, that’s a local.

But if you want a run on DoG street, you are going to see tourists. Go early if you’d rather avoid them. :)
