A wonderful way to see the town and hear the fun history behind the holiday decorations. See The Geddy House, St. George Tucker House, the Palmer home along with other places. Also hear about how the pirate's celebrated Christmas.Pass byBruton Parish Episcopal ChurchColonial Williamsburg Capitol Building

- Y6748VNdavem0 contributionsAwesome!!Excellent tour. Highly recommend. Good for people of all ages. Gracie was very knowledgeable about the history of the area.Written 1 September 2024
- Nancy H0 contributionsSuch History! Such Fun!Gracie took us on a grand tour, down the streets of Colonial Williamsburg, throwing in lots of spooky stories and interesting historic facts of the homes and buildings. We wish we had done this tour the night before we toured CW, because we'd have been more versed in what took place in each location. We had a great time with our knowledgeable, energetic guide. It was MORE than worth the cost!Written 24 August 2024
- H8219FIkareno0 contributionsNot my cup of teaI prefer a great storyteller with at most, a lantern. No costumes, no audience participation to act out stories and definitely no yelling "boo" to give false scares. It went long, which is fine if you're having a good time. We weren't, so left before it finished.Written 22 August 2024
- christinemariegoodin0 contributionsAn awesome ghost tour!!!Tom was super knowledgeable about the history of the area and he even had his own spooky experiences to share! I would do this tour again any day!!Written 13 August 2024
- scgreenie0 contributionsAWESOME WALKING TOUR!This walking tour was very informative! Elizabeth does an amazing job and shares so much info it is difficult to absorb it all but soooo interesting! Highly recommend!Written 7 August 2024
- Trip6248800 contributionsEye openingColin was our guide for the tour. He was very interesting and informative. We had a wonderful time. I would recommend him to all of our family and friends. If you’re looking for something that is completely different from the usual tour of Williamsburg, this is the guy.Thank you Colin! Sandee and TimWritten 20 July 2024
- flyingcaptainjack0 contributionsAn absolute pleasureIt was an absolute pleasure to spend time with Lexi and the pirate. There was probably around 10 in our group and we all enjoyed it immensely. Learn lots of histories and lots of meanings of sayings. I highly recommend for an enjoyable evening out. We even enjoyed looking for ghosts.Written 17 July 2024
- aliciatX6425RI0 contributionsamazing, mysterious, funlexi was really sweet fun and kind. she made the ghost tour so much fun and interesting i would definitely recommend goin back for the great experience.Written 13 July 2024
- X534ZEbrandonv0 contributionsGreat time had by all!The guide was excellent and told great stories. My family really enjoyed hearing the fate of Blackbeard and his crew. Would recommend!Written 7 July 2024
- bethfJ2058RU0 contributionsDisappointedIt was a story show. Didn’t get to go into any buildings. Very disappointed Left early. People were friendly but no scary ghost or even witchyWritten 6 July 2024
- 690velvetm0 contributionsCivil War living historyUpon arrival of the tour we were told that it was brand new by our guide Rob. He was very informative, personable, and professional. The days prior we had spent learning about the earliest settlement and the Revolutionary War. It seemed fitting to learn about the Civil War next. You may or may not see any ghost, but you will have a better understanding of the Civil War and the people affected by it. It was fascinating and humbling at the same time learning about the town's historical connection. We would definitely recommend this tour!Written 1 July 2024
- michellecC1219JM0 contributionsEnjoyable experienceCollin, our guide, was very knowledgeable. My husband and myself learned some new things about pirates and their importance in the early colonies. If you're planning on visiting Colonial Williamsburg, I definitely recommend this tour. Collin gives you the ins and outs about everything. If you want to know how the early colonists got their ideas,Collin's stories tell you that. This tour is a must for anyone wanting to hear and learn about how pirating and pirarateering influenced early America.Written 29 June 2024

Enjoyed hearing the history behind the decorations and wreaths. Tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Tour guide mentioned her Christmas traditions and her views of what Christmas is all about. I didn’t think that was relevant or what I paid to listen to.

I’m glad you enjoyed the tour . I’m not quite sure what you are referring to, but we did tell the story of the candy cane at the church. As was explained Christmas in the 18th Century was more of a Holy Day than a Holiday . There was no separation of Church and State . Sincerely, Madame Lexi and Elizabeth

Very informative and interesting tour telling us a lot about the settlers in Williamsburg. We are British so it was great to hear about the customs of the people who lived there and the different customs they brought with them.
