Itinerary

Pass by

Experience the many ghosts of this old colonial town that are still seen today. Learn of the hangings of Blackbeard's crew and what happened to Blackbeard's skull. Did our forefathers really drink from his skull? Stand right where Grace Sherwood, the most famous witch, is often seen during mock trials in the Capitol and hear of her fate, finally pardoned by Gov. Tim Kean after centuries of being called the Witch of Pungo. Learn of Anne Bonny and Mary Reed (a woman posing as Mark Reed) who were aboard Calico Jack's ship and fought like men. Top it all off by going to the Jones Graveyard, where Ida Jones still haunts the graves today, in the late-night hours.

Great evening nice long walk lots of fun guides were great -Gracie and the Pirate

This tour was really fun! Our group came upon the tour last minute as it was waiting to begin. We booked and it was well well worth the $20! The tour guide Gracie made everyone take part in a fun way (not pushy) and we got a lot of steps in that’s for sure. We enjoyed it and we recommend it as a great way to learn a little history, laugh and meet people from all over.

Operator response

Thank you so very much for that awesome five star review. We are so glad you had such a great time on your tour with Gracie and Mr. pirate! They are one of a kind. Gracie loves when everybody gets involved and has a spooky fun time history mystery and fun. That’s what she calls it. Safe travels. She is also Elizabeth on the history tour. If you ever want to do a fun history tour she gets you involved in the history too. Safe travels ! Sincerely Chris.

Mike is a great guide....

Mike is a great guide. He’s very entertaining, friendly, and accommodating. He was enthusiastic, funny and knowledgeable about Williamsburg history. It was a great combination of a haunted tour, combined with pirate tales, witch tales and ghosts. I loved walking around after dark. Will definitely recommend and will do this again next time we visit.

Operator response

Awesome thank you so very much for that wonderful review! We hear that all the time Mike is one of our best. We love that you had such a great time. We love for you to do one of our other tours. We do have history Tours also with Elizabeth or Tom so we would love to have you. Safe travels sincerely Lisa.

This is a good one 👍

We really enjoyed Mike and his shared knowledge and personality. He was easy to hear and understand (I wear hearing aids and usually have a hard time hearing guides). It was a little cooler to do this in the evening, but harder to take pictures once the sun went down. Overall, it was a good experience and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a guided tour.

Operator response

Awesome we’re so glad you had such a great time with Mike. Yes, he is a very passionate guide and he has a wonderful radio voice. That’s what we always tell him. So glad you could hear him and had a great time. Safe travels sincerely Lisa.
