One of the best tours history/ ghost tour I’ve been on. The tour was so informative and interactive. Glad we did it at dusk vs night probably would have left before the tour was over.

Extremely interesting. Patrick had an extensive background knowledge of both the Williamsburg area and of centuries of historical events that took place here. A guide who can hold the rapt attention of a 14-year-old for 90 minutes is worth his weight in gold, and Patrick did just that!

We had a great time on this tour! We didn’t do any of the add-ons but the base one-hour activity at 8pm was just right. Patrick was an excellent storyteller! Our 11-year-old loves spooky stuff and she had a blast.

We had a wonderful time learning about the haunting history of Williamsburg from Vince. We are in VA to tour William & Mary and my high school senior was especially excited to tour the school at night and learn some of the school’s lore that isn’t on the college’s tour. I highly recommend the experience!

My daughter and I had a great time on the ghost tour this weekend! Our fearless leader Patrick told many great stories about Williamsburg hauntings and even showed some pictures taken by previous guests. Very cool!
