Elizabeth is a excellent tour guide!! I learned more in one hour than several years of history class! I highly recommend this tour!

Super funny and very interesting tour

Elizabeth was a wonderful tour guide. Her dress was amazing of course! She really did a great job of engaging and making it a funny and laid-back experience. We learned a lot! One thing that I really liked about her was that she did a great job of recognizing the level of engagement the audience would best respond to. She was personable and very knowledgeable. Definitely going to check out her ghost tour!

Lots of information. Would not want it any longer or you would be over saturated. It was extremely hot and our guide was very good about finding shade and places to sit and cool off

Anniversary getaway

Elizabeth was passionate about sharing the history of Williamsburg. She tried to keep us cool and rested by finding shady benches for us to use while she spoke. She was great!

Thumbs Up, Teens Approved

The history tour with Elizabeth was fantastic. She kept my teens involved (especially my son who’s not an history buff) and engaged everyone in the storytelling of the past by giving them a role in it. Lots of fun. She also recognized the needs of the group and found shade and spots to sit throughout the walk. If we have time, we hope to squeeze in the ghost tour.

Operator response

Wow, thank you for that. Awesome five star review that means so much to us! I will make sure to let her know how much you all enjoyed it especially your teens! We hope you can fit in one of our ghost tours. We’d love to have you. Make sure you go to www.spooksandlegends.com and check us out safe travels sincerely Lisa.
