5.00Katelyn was very knowledgeable and did a great job telling the stories of the town. Despite having to dismiss a couple of people for being disrespectful. She also handled that situation in a professional manner. Katelyn is a rockstar!
My historical tour of Vince was great

3.00We were thankful to be able to reschedule due to inclement weather. We saw other ghost tours with large groups, guides dressed in period clothing and speaking enthusiastically while our guide, Gary, was quiet and difficult to understand. Our small group was actually asked to leave from in front of the Governor's Palace. That was embarrassing. We did not go in any buildings while other groups did. Someone in our group asked when we were going to see some ghosts, Gary answered that it was too early to see them. He probably should have said something like, "Keep your eyes open, you never know!" Also, Patrick Henry was never President.
Spooky excellence

5.00Neil was great! The stories were entertaining and we were engaged the whole time! I highly recommend the extension, it's well worth it! The tour has you walking all over the Colonial Williamsburg campus, but there's plenty to keep your interest. Well worth it!

5.00Patrick was amazing! He was super in depth and mixed stories about the history of the different buildings with his own personal experiences and left us thoroughly terrified of being in Williamsburg after dark! Would definitely recommend for anyone interested in history with a nice dose of ghost stories.
Spooky time
