What a great tour! You learn about so many people you would never hear about anywhere else. It makes the town come alive with history spanning from colonial times to 1980s. It is well researched and so intriguing! Whether you are a local like us or just visiting, make time to do this tour!

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.
