Experience the many ghosts of this old colonial town that are still seen today. Learn of the hangings of Blackbeard's crew and what happened to Blackbeard's skull. Did our forefathers really drink from his skull? Stand right where Grace Sherwood, the most famous witch, is often seen during mock trials in the Capitol and hear of her fate, finally pardoned by Gov. Tim Kean after centuries of being called the Witch of Pungo. Learn of Anne Bonny and Mary Reed (a woman posing as Mark Reed) who were aboard Calico Jack's ship and fought like men.

It was very enlightening and portrayed the history of Williamsburg and the experiences of the former inhabitants of the historic houses.

Guide Mike was informative, very pleasant & entertaining. Fascinating tidbits of colonial history & various settlers. Right amount of time in each location. No interior visits inside houses, which we had expected

Our tour guide, Grace, didnt dress in colonial clothing. She spoke SO fast and jumped from crazy story to crazy story. She seemed to have messed up dates and times and acted like a crazy person half the time... I feel like we didnt learn much and just wanted to leave half way through. Even my two girls didn't understand what she was saying most of the time. Pretty disappointed.

What a fun, educational, and tantalizing experience with the expert guidance of historian, Gracie and Mr. Pirate, we laughed, we wondered, got goosebumps and chills. The warm evening for March made it enjoyable and my pictures have some items of interest… incredible walking these historical streets in the uncrowded evening. Thank you for a once in a lifetime experience!!!
