Night Time story time

Rebecca_A, Nov 2023

Bryce is an excellent story teller. His knowledge and delivery was awesome. I was also walking during the day. I was surprised at what I learned at night.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

We're so glad you enjoyed Bryce's presentation and storytelling! It means a lot to know he took great care of your group. We're glad you had fun with us, and learned more about our history along the way! Be sure to check out the other tours we offer all over the country with US Ghost Adventures--we'd love to see you again in the next city you visit!

Paranormal activity

Denise_G, Sep 2023

We caught orbs in a church graveyard. Your best bet is to take a video to see them . Lots of history as you go around.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Hi, Denise! It's always so exciting when our guests are able to capture signs of paranormal activity. Thank you so much for joining our tour! We'd love for you to check out the other tours we offer with US Ghost Adventures--perhaps we'll see you again for the spooky season!

Great experience

ashley_C, Sep 2023

See an orb in the cemetery. The history of the area and some of the stories was really interesting. Recommend you do the most late tour as it’s more spookier

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Ashley, thank you so much for your recommendation! We're so glad you enjoyed your late-night tour!

Great extended haunted tour!

Gary_T, Oct 2022

Our guide, Bryce, was awesome. His stories were excellent. He has a great sense of humor and he dressed the part of a deceased person from colonial Williamsburg’s times. We’ve had other guides from other companies who just “walk and talk”but Bryce made it an entertaining show! Definitely recommend Bryce for your guide!

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thank you Gary! Bryce is a wonderful asset to US Ghost Adventures! We thank you so much for the 5 star review and we will make sure Bryce sees this review! He does bring great humor to history and also ghostly tales or experiences. We hope to see you again in the near future and we are so happy to see you enjoyed the tour!

Fun night out

Holli_V, Jul 2022

Seeing a moving curtain at the church and learning story behind the ghost . Being a few feet away from most haunted house in US.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

We're glad you had a fun evening on your tour. Thanks for joining us!

Patrick was a rockstar!

Rachel_G, May 2022

Patrick was AMAZING. My cousin and I decided last minute to take a Ghost Tour of Williamsburg while we were in town for the weekend and it did not disappoint. We opted in for the extra 30 minute College Ghost tour after and it was a wonderful experience. Patrick kept the group entertained with this personal stories /encounters along with his knowledge of Williamsburg as a whole. He was able to answer those random questions from our group and kept us laughing most of the night. I would gladly do this tour again and anything that Patrick is guiding on!

Response from Host, May 2022

Thank you Rachel! This is so great to hear that you enjoyed the tour! Patrick is an amazing guide and storyteller! We’re glad you enjoyed your time with us, and we hope you’ll check out one of our other locations and tour experiences in over 35 cities or an overnight stay at usghostadventures.com

Ghost Sighting

Trish_F, Sep 2021

Patrick was an interesting tour guide. This was a very fun experience. Please look closely at the picture I submitted. There seems to be a face in the window that looks like it has a candle in it. This was the same time that the man with the hat was spotted but this is a different person. We looked in that window the next day to see if it was a view of something near the window, but all we could see was an open door with a keyhole. You can see that too in my picture but below the man’s head.

Response from Host, Oct 2021

Thank you for your feedback. The photo is amazing! We’re glad you had a great experience with Patrick and we hope you can join us again soon!

Disappointing and not covid friendly

Bethany_L, Sep 2021

One of a million groups doing the same tour with nearly no covid-precautions and was not a small group as advertised (over 20 people in our group) even though we paid more for this tour specifically because it said it would be a limited size. A bit touristy and overcrowded for our taste, but there isn't much to do in the area for a nighttime activity so it was okay for that. Guide was great, he didn't have control over the other stuff.

Response from Host, Oct 2021

Thank you for your feedback and for letting us know about your experience and concerns. We’re so sorry you did not receive the 5-star experience we usually provide for guests on tours. Could you please email us at contact@colonialghosts.com and give us the opportunity to make it right? Thank you!

Highly recommend this tour!!

Deborah_M, Sep 2021

Mr.William sharing his personal experiences in the area. His story telling pulled you into the area we were visiting at the time.

Response from Host, Oct 2021

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you had a great experience with William and we hope you can join us again soon!

Ghost tour

Brian_C, Aug 2020

Guide was well spoken and knowledgeable. Only negative feedback is that they didn't have listing of who was with each tour as far as extended and such. They said there wasn't a way to check. I thought i had paid but wasn't sure and they said they couldn't check

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Hi Brian! Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you had an enjoyable experience, and hope we can see you again soon!

Good spooks and social distancing

Brian_H, May 2020

Perfect activity to get out of house, be entertained, learn about history through chilling ghosts stories, and in a social distance, wear a mask, precautious way. Also this time of night the area is pretty much empty! Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Hi! I am so happy that you enjoyed the tour and our socially distanced stories!

Thoms, our guide, was excellent.

Gus_J, Dec 2018

Thomas, our guide, was excellent. He excelled at speaking loudly and distinctly so that he could be heard while walking backwards over uneven ground in the dark!

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Thank you, Gus. We're glad Thomas provided a great evening for you.
