The buildings are beautiful. It was great to have a tour guide that had a history major and theatre major to conduct our tour. It took 1 hour although I booked 90 min. Version. I recommend you book the 60 minute version. The stories were good. One girl rented the ghost reader machine on our tour but the guide didnt really guide her or point out where or how to use it.
Austin took us on an informative and fun tour through Colonial Williamsburg. Well worth it. Plenty of history and spooky stories!
Great tour. Austin was knowledgeable and was a great story teller! He shared some spooky images that’s brought the stories to life.
Great time with tour guide Patrick with entertaining stories. He even shared pictures of previous tours where the supernatural was captured. Would definitely do it again.
Very informative, well presented by our guide.
Very interesting and our guide William was a lot of fun. We may have even had a ghostly visitation during our tour. 👻
Guide was Patrick it was a fun tour. I actually chatted with him quite a bit while walking because I’m from Williamsburg although I don’t live here currently. My wife and son enjoyed it as well. It makes me want to study up more on the history. Although i somewhat consider myself a local there is still so much to learn about the area.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an absolutely fantastic time on the ghost tour with Patrick as our guide! From start to finish, he was engaging, knowledgeable, and the perfect mix of spooky and entertaining. Patrick brought the stories to life with vivid detail and just the right amount of humor, making the experience both chilling and fun. You can tell he’s truly passionate about the history behind the hauntings—he didn’t just tell ghost stories, he shared the fascinating background that made them even more compelling. He kept everyone in the group involved and made sure we could hear and follow along easily. It was also a huge hit with our 11- and 13-year-old boys! The stories were just the right level of spooky—exciting without being too scary—and Patrick really connected with them and kept them engaged the whole time. If you’re considering a ghost tour, definitely hope you get Patrick as your guide—you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend this experience! 👻✨
Lots of fun information, good jokes and spent time to answer questions
It was a beautiful walk through colonial Williamsburg. Our guide Katherine, was an amazing theatrical storyteller with a calming voice she created suspense and then punctuated intermittently with laugh out loud comedy.
