Hannah was a great guide. Very intrigued with her knowledge. Loved all her stories and the grounds were awesome
A little too much "history" from Randy and not enough "ghost" stories.

Our guide Emily was very entertaining and fun. Nothing scary, though our 16 year old did loose a wee bit of sleep that night thinking about Peachy as a ghost.

Emily was a wonderful ghost tour guide. Super cute. A great storyteller and very patient with us as we could not find where to meet her. She helped direct us. Very knowledgeable. My husband and I enjoyed it very much!! It was a great ending to our mini vacation. Thank you ! 😊

The truthful story telling and cool looking landmarks. And the downtown feel. Also the tour guide was very good at remembering and telling the stories. And great jokes.

Our guide, Ben, was informative, knowledgeable, engaging, and at times hilarious. He managed to keep a group of upper elementary age kids enthralled and asking questions throughout this tour....which is no small task. I would recommend this tour to everyone that wants to have a fun and educational evening time experience in Colonial Williamsburg.
Touchy tour

Rick did a good job with 40 plus people but during the course of the tour it bothered me that despite the downturn of Covid he put his hands on over half of the people in the group, sometimes on one or both shoulders, sometimes on the arm, arm in arm with two young ladies at his side - which required quite close proximity. I assume some people didn't like being touched - I didn't - and I thought social distancing should still be somewhat encouraged by the tour company.

I was excited to hear about the Williamsburg ghosts.....however we heard more personal stories. I was really trying to get the history of the Williamsburg ghosts.....definitely left much to be desired.

Absolutely an amazing experience despite the cold Rick was able to keep our minds off of it with his Extraordinary way of educating us on not only the history, but the true events that happen around Williamsburg. Me and my mother had a wonderful time and she even caught a TWO BLUE orbs in a bunch of photos. An amazing, spiritual, fun, humbling and eye opening experience thanks to Rick!!! Thank you Rick!!! We will never forget you and your stories!!!

Our tour guide was amazing!! We had a super group of people on the ghost walk! The tour guide, I think his name was Rick, he made the ghost walk so exciting with his stories. He made you feel like you were there experiencing it as the story unfolded. He even shared some pictures and the people in the group was taking pictures and sharing them.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
