Took the extended tour and wasn't disappointed. Our tour guide Jacque (Phyllis if you did something you weren't supposed to and got caught) was personable and knowledgeable...an all-around great storyteller. Loved walking around Colonial Williamsburg at night. The buildings are beautiful and a must see for those who appreciate architecture. Make sure to watch the windows at Bruton Parish Church. While passing by, my husband and I briefly glimpsed what looked like a flickering candle in the window of the empty church. We were told others have experienced seeing it as well.

Roberta, I am so happy that you enjoyed your tour! I'll definitely let Jacquie know that you enjoyed your time with her. She is a favorite! The buildings are absolutely beautiful--you're right! I haven't seen the candle in the windows, but I have seen the curtains move and seen a lady in white in the graveyard. I'm glad I'm not alone in experiencing something while at the Bruton Parish Church! I hope you join us for a Ghost Hunt soon, so that you can experience even more ghostly activity! Thank you for the awesome review!

Our tour guide was very informative and personable. Along with tales of ghost activity the history behind it was also very interesting. Beautiful to see the streets of Williamsburg at night. Very casual atmosphere for families with children. Definitely would do it again. A good value.
