My Son's BOOO-irthday - My Son watches all the ghost shows and loves spooky adventures. We were in Williamsburg for a Family vacation while my son had his Birthday. He wanted a ghost tour in the historic haunted town. We chose Williamsburg Ghosts, Witches and Pirates Tour based on the reviews and they lived up to it. We ran a bit longer as we had a big group so, It is a good idea to bring some water or something to drink if the humidity gets to you the way it does me. Even at night. It was a perfect evening with no rain nor was it too hot. Bring your walking shoes. Lots of stops and stories through the historic area. Lots of photo opportunities. MR Pirate had lots of fun pirate Dad jokes. Our tour was done by MRS Witch and she had tons of tales, stories and history. We rented the EMF ghost hunting tool which was fun for my son as well. Good family fun

Spooky FUN - My husband and I were excited to go on our first ghost tour together. Mike was an amazing guide and so knowledgeable. He did his best to keep us all involved and answered our questions to the best of his ability. He was a great storyteller and was intriguing to listen to. Can’t recommend enough! The time flew by! Would definitely go again.

Can't miss if you have a free evening! - We had a blast! Lexy was wonderful, personable, engaging, and very easy to talk to. Grace was amazing. She really drew you into the stories and was so fun to walk with. The pirate "Samuel Odell" was very entertaining. He added quite a bit to the walking tour. The tour, while taking 2 hours went by REALLY fast. After the tour, the next day, my son and I did some fact checking on the net. Everything that we remembered was absolutely 💯 % true. The history and the stories. Well done!

In-depth history of Williamsburg - We had a great time learning about the history of witches, pirates, and ghosts in the context of Williamsburg history. Michael was a fantastic tour guide. He was able to share in-depth stories about so many buildings that it brought history to life.

Great tour of Williamsburg - Had Michael as our tour guard. He was great. We had a great time walking around the village and hearing so cool stories. Thought about the coming back for the dead of night tour but leave before it happens again!

Great tour - Micheal was a very informative guide. His humor was a little dry and many of our group did not get his jokes. I did get them and I guess that’s all that matters😂. My tour happened to be on a full moon night. My EMF was very active, but I have not seen anything in the pics, yet.

Do Not Waste Your Money - - Very disappointing. I saw all the good reviews and was hoping for something as good as the reviews. First of all, this is not a tour for kids. We had a number of small kids on the tour who just ran around screaming and yelling and could not care less about what the tour guide was saying. As far as the tour guide was concerned, he had no respect for people who were handicapped and walking with canes. Half the time we could not hear him. MY wife, my son and I were not impressed at all with this tour. It should be a $5 tour, because that is all it is worth - sorry - but that is how I feel.
