Spooktacular!!

Published on Jan, 2025

The tour was super spooky and very fun! My sister and I had a great time learning about the grim happenings in Old Colonial Williamsburg and the unfortunate souls still roaming around. I can’t imagine having a better guide than Catherine, and I thank her SO MUCH for taking us around in the absolutely freezing cold weather. 10/10

Fun!

Patrick was believable & had a good sense of humor that made the tour entertaining. It was a lovely evening to walk and he was very receptive in answering the queries from the group.

Tour was cancelled but money refunded very quickly; will use them in future

Colonial Ghost Tour had to cancel our 8p tour and quickly refunded the complete amount when we were unable to select another tour.

Good story and history woven in.

Good stories nothing to scary. In other cities where we have done ghost tours, we were given headsets which allowed you to hear easily but we noticed none of the tours provided them so must have been a Williamsburg restriction.

Great Guide!
