Great fun, good historical perspective - Lonnie did a great job with the tour and had some great stories. Very interesting tales and wonderful historical perspective. I don’t believe in ghosts but he even gave me chills a couple of times with his renditions. We had teenagers who also enjoyed the tour very much. Would definitely recommend!

Must do on your next trip! - Booked the tour a few days in advance. The weather was sketchy, but we kept the reservation and we ended up being the only family on the tour. It was definitely worth it. Our guide was an excellent storyteller who had all sorts of information and several personal experiences to add to the tour. We were sad when the hour was up!

Great visit for all ages to see our country's beginnings - Anyway you visit colonial williamsburg will be richly rewarding. Start at the visitors center and just wander, entering as many open buildings as time permits.Try scheduling at least 2 days including an evening program.

Spooky and Cool! - Our guide had so many stories! I loved that he encouraged us to take pictures. especially in certain areas. I did see a moving orb in front of one of the houses. My husband saw it too. We watched it for quite a while until I switched it video. Then it disappeared. Lots of spirits on those streets! I loved visiting at night!

Good tour - This tour was fun. The guide provided some interesting, although recent, ghost stories. I was expecting something a little more historical - that's what my previous ghost tours have been. I liked the personal touch, although it is harder to verify. I did get a picture of something, although it is hard to say what it is since we could not go inside the building to see what (if anything) was in the room. I do recommend this tour for a good time. It's a short tour and doesn't cover a lot of ground - maybe a 1 square block area.
