Our tour guide was great and knowledgeable. I highly recommend taking this tour when visiting Williamsburg!
Austin was fantastic! He had great enthusiasm and made the entire tour engaging. The tour went by so fast and we definitely would have stayed longer for more ghosts stories if we could. A must do experience
Although the tour guide was very sweet, she lacked entertainment. She lacked pacing, voice inflection, and dramatic flair to build suspense.
My boyfriend and I had such a great time! So many interesting stories and we learned a lot about Williamsburg. Steve was knowledgeable, kept us engaged, walked slow for us all to keep up, and spoke loudly and clear. 10/10 would recommend and come back for more ghost stories!
Had a great experience on this tour and would highly recommend it! Christine was amazing and made the ghost stories come to life.
The stories were an interesting mix of history and ghosts—not too scary, but entertaining. The guide was engaging
We had a great time, even without seeing anything ghostly. Our tour guide, Patrick was terrific! He was funny, very engaging and he shared some awesome stories. We'd definitely do it again!
The tour guide had awesome energy the whole time without a doubt but it just wasn’t what we were hoping. Had been on way better ghost tours in other cities. Stood outside of buildings, other tours got way more access. Maybe our fault for not reading the description but just stood outside a few great buildings and was okay.. Others didn’t look as into it as either.
I really don't know what happen. I was there early for the tour, but no one showed. I was ghosted at the ghost tour
The 9 PM ghost tour was a fun experience and a great value for the money. The 60-minute guided tour was the perfect length, and learning about the Randolph House was the highlight. Walking between the different sites was a nice way to explore Colonial Williamsburg at night. The tour started right on time, and our guide was kind, though he seemed a bit tired and not very enthusiastic, which is understandable after leading multiple late-night tours. Overall, I’d recommend it.
