5.00This tour was absolutely phenomenal. My daughter and I had the best time and our guide Austin I believe his name was, was very informative and was very knowledgeable about the history and ghost experiences of Williamsburg. We truly enjoyed ourselves as we have never been on a tour before. We can’t wait to have other experiences like this one!
Great tour!

New Years Eve Date Night

5.00Amazing experience! I grew up in Gloucester and used to hate Williamsburg field trips as a kid. My husband and I moved back to the area a few years ago, I both of us enjoy history more now than we did years ago. I wanted to take in all of the things I didn't appreciate before; pretend we're tourists for a night! We took a tour on New Years Eve for something fun and different, and it was excellent! Everything was still decorat for Christmas; just charming enough to die for! We were the only locals in the group but you wouldn't have known it. I only wish I wouldn't have let a few weeks go by before reviewing, enough time to forget the guides name. He was amazing. So much information and details packed into those stories. If youre looking for a fun date night, we highly recommend it!

5.00We had a great time on the Colonial Ghosts tour; Whispers of Williamsburg. Our guide William was amazing, very knowledgeable with a lot of personal experiences! Our group ranged from 8yrs old to 64 and we all left with something resonated with us! If you are ever in Williamsburg this tour is a must do! Ask for William you won’t regret it!

Must do experience of Williamsburg

5.00William was our guide and this was such a great tour. He not only had great stories about the ghost but also about the history of Williamsburg and putting everything in context he was very dramatic but not overly so and a great storyteller. It was a very chilly night, but his stories made the experience so much better and didn’t even notice the cold by the end of the night well worth it and I would recommend this tour for anybody. The walking was pretty flat so very easy.
