Not what we expected.
Richard_R, May 2024
Jasmine was very personable but had not been doing the tour long. She stated she had only been doing it for about 2 months. Feel that with mor experience, she will be able to embellish the tails and make them a lot more interesting. While not scary in the slightest, it was still interesting to hear the stories and walk the streets in the evening. If you are an avid ghost story person, this is not at all a spooky, scary tour. We still enjoyed our time however.
Rick was the best guide!

Do not book through...
John_S, Jan 2024
Do not book through viator. I even made a phone call and viator assured me that the tour was available and going even though it was January. Unfortunately they did not speak with the tour operators and there was no tour. We waited for 20 minutes at the designated spot and no guide was available. I would suggest if you book go through the original ghost of Williamsburg tour website itself. Do not use viator!! Very very upset with viator. Not with the operator of the tours.

Long Tour for a Late Night
Judy_R, Dec 2023
Tour was ok. It was longer than expected… almost 2hrs. Plus a LONG walk around Colonial Williamsburg. Small group with lots of interactive conversations made tour more interesting.

Disappointed
Brian_G, Nov 2023
They cancelled on us at the last minute. We were looking forward to it but should have listened to the reviews that said they do this a lot. Your group did a nice job of crediting our account. Thank you.

Pros and Cons
Michael_D, Nov 2023
This is not a tour you want to take if you are not a fast walker. The tour was interesting except our tour guide could have been more animated. It was like she was telling a boring story. After all it was a ghost tour.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Our tour is designed to be a comfortable walk for all guest and our guides adjust the pace based on the needs of the group . Thank you for your feedback
Guide was cool. Very entertaining

Successful scare.
Kevin_W, Sep 2023
Vlad was charming and informative. Well done. Prompt, spent a few extra minutes looking for lost guest until found but didn’t cut your short. Another group had a lost child involved and all was stopped until Vlad and group resolved matter which was fortunately just a few minutes. Time well spent.
