On a ghostly, candlelit walk, your new 18th century “friend” will take you to Williamsburg’s most haunted house, where 23 evil ghostly inhabitants bring the past to life. Don’t forget to introduce yourself if you are unfortunate enough to meet such a spirit, face to face. Your skin will crawl, you will have goosebumps, and by the end of the tour you will be looking over your shoulder. If you hear screams, you know it’s a Spooks and Legends Tour. Join us if you dare. And be sure to bring your camera. You never know what you might find in those photos! If you are too afraid to join ghostly guides for an evening of fright, we offer very educational, fun and informative history tours, as well. Please meet 15 minutes prior to tour time. « less

“colorful tour of spooks in williamsburg”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 20, 2013 NEW

Owner/tour guide Bonnie went out of her way to provide a factual, colorful tour of some of the best haunted places in old towne Williamsburg. Obviously very well versed in 18th century Williamsburg living, she dressed in period garb, spoke in period dialect and took us on a most entertaining walk through a number of spooky sites in this 1...

“Behind the Scenes of Williamsburg”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 6, 2013

Loved every minute of our Spooks and Legends tour of Colonial Williamsburg. Our guide was outstanding and made it fun for all ages. The pace was good even though it was freezing outside. At one point a security guard came out of one of the houses and added his interactions with "ghosts" on his watch. Would do this again if... More

I'm so happy that you enjoyed the tour. I agree that the tour was a fun one, but for a different reason from you, more than likely. I enjoyed the nice guests on the tour. It's always wonderful, as the tour guide, to hear response during the tour, suggesting enjoyment and interest. Even our character, "Dr. McKenzie" called me immediately... More

“Awesome Time!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 18, 2013

We took our entire family including the kids (ages 14 months, 4 and 6) and we had a great time. Bonnie was a great tour guide- she is the best! We cannot wait until the new tour coming this summer! We learned so much, she kept the group right on the edge while she was telling the stories. I think... More

“Great time and not too scary”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 8, 2013

We took this tour during spring break so the group was very large. But the tour guide kept everything under control. There were interesting stories and the tour guide had a biting wit that kept us all entertained. She also kept the group moving at a good clip so we covered a lot of ground and saw a lot of... More

“Enjoyable!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 8, 2013

After seeing the TripAdvisor ratings, I was very comfortable selecting this tour, and, yes, the tour delivered! We did not plan ahead, but called Bonnie the morning of the tour, and luckily she was able to accomodate us. We enjoyed the staging of and personality of her ghost-guide character, from the late 1700's, and her perspective on town life. Her... More

“Stick to "Colonial Williamsburg" sanctioned tours.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed April 6, 2013 via mobile

I purchased my tickets through Google checkout. While enroute to Williamsburg (550miles away) we were stuck in traffic. I replied to the email which was a receipt for my transaction that we were unable to make the tour. After not hearing ANYTHING for two weeks I looked up the website and sent an email to the tour owner. Now, #1... More

It is so unfortunate when potential guests make comments regarding our tours when they never attended. This issue does not reflect on our business, at all, as we are always rated #1, in the area. I am sorry you missed the tour. However, we could do nothing about it when you contacted us 2 weeks later. We are more than... More

“Recommend to Everyone!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 2, 2013

The Spooks and Legends Tour was our second attempt at the ghost tour in Williamsburg. My son and I were a bit disappointed with our first tour a year ago. Talking to several people though, we realized how many tours there are! So after doing a bit of research we found this tour. We went with our group of eight... More

“Great evening in Williamsburg!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 31, 2013

Our family of four (two teens) really enjoyed our tour with Bonnie. We were traveling to Williamsburg from Northern Virginia and hit a traffic jam. We did not think we would make it to the tour on time. I called Bonnie and she said that it was no problem. She stalled the tour for a few minutes until we arrived.... More

We are do happy that you enjoyed the tour. I also appreciate your calling, ahead of time, to say that you were stuck in traffic. Many do not think to do that, so I cannot try to accommodate them. Yes, the group was larger than usual, due to the spring break, but it was a great group and everyone seemed... More

“outstanding ghost tour”

We loved the tour. It was a bit crowded and distracting but the tour itself was great and full of stories and "tips". It was mentioned there will be an adult tour coming soon and we will be back!

Thank you for the nice review, Cindi. I agree that it was too crowded. Unfortunately, there were 2 groups that came in from quite a ways and they could only do that date. They had already purchased Groupons so I wanted to be sure to accommodate them. I'm glad you still enjoyed the tour. It was a fun one for... More
