Based on the tours we saw posted online, the tour should’ve been much more expansive. The website said we would go up to ten sites on a two hour tour. The tour was 70 minutes and we only got to see 3 sites.

Beautiful blend of history and spookiness
Austin was a very informed, entertaining tour guide. He made an effort to speak with every one in the tour group and definitely made my family’s evening delightfully spooky. Really appreciated his well spoken tone. Was the perfect blend of historical fact and eerie phenomena I was hoping for.

We loved our ghost tour
We loved our ghost tour. We opted for a later tour and it really worked out nicely. We had Neil as our guide and he was very knowledgeable of historical spooky stories, had extra historical details to share and even knew about some of the architecture in Williamsburg which was very fascinating. He made everyone feel very welcome and was patient with everyone as they asked many questions and took some time to take photos.
