Unforgettable dark history tour in Williamsburg - An exciting night of fascinating and macabre story telling about life —and especially death—in Williamsburg, VA. Tour guide was smart and entertaining. Seemed to love the history and sharing it with us. Highly recommend the experience. You will not forget it.

Death in Williamsburg tour - This tour was a little bit of a ghost tour, deaths and burial practices in the area, and history of Williamsburg/Jamestown dating back to the 1600's in some parts. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about deaths that have occurred within the Colonial Williamsburg tourist area. My favorite part was learning about a serial killer from the 1980's and the different methods he chose to use on his victims.
