Vince was an amazing tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and passionate!! He was very accommodating he came out in the middle of a snowstorm to make sure we could do our tour! We really enjoyed our time getting to know the history of Williamsburg and Vince’s lighthearted humor throughout made it that much more enjoyable!!

We did the tour on a very cold evening, but our tour guide William was very informative and kept the group involved. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

I was not satisfied with this tour or the tour guide. She seemed very fake and sounded more like she was writing a romance novel rather than telling us about colonial Williamsburg. The amount of emails and text messages I have received is absurd, and I will not book with this company again.

Our tour guide was Patrick! The tour was amazing and he was hilarious. Patrick made the tour enjoyable- he came with receipts of ghosts from past tours along with the ones we saw on our tour.
