The stories are all about the staff that work there now and how they're sure spooky things have happened to them.

Just came back from a tour with the BEST guide. She was simply adorable…read more Her name is Liv and she is a student at William and Mary college. Therewas a pub walk where we saw the Wren building, a pub called Precarious that had a glorious fire pit outside. It was so cold and windy but Liv kept us warm with her stories. Then we went to Burton Parrish and in between she regaled us with stories about the area adding her own personal touches. This was such a fun event to do in a super awesome location. The only downside was the rest of our tour who were super cheap in tipping our guide. She was very pleasant with everyone and worked very hard in the cold to make sure we had a great time. I wish people understood how hard these kids work. We gave a generous tip and thanked her profuseyfor such a wonderful evening. I highly recommend!!!

I've been wanting to visit this for a while and was lucky to get tickets many months in advance…read more It's on a private property and is open only ~8 times in a year. There were different 2-hour times that you can choose from when I bought the tickets. A full day pass is also available that allows you to enter multiple times in a day. The organizers send emails containing directions to get to the place, tips and other reminders. When they tell you not to wear pretty shoes, listen. Even though it had not rained for the past week when we went, there were areas that were really muddy. Wear boots. Went here on a Saturday afternoon. There was a short orientation at the start near the registration area then we went to the heads of the presidents. It was a cool experience seeing all these huge busts of the presidents. Two brief talks during the visit were (1) trivia about the presidents and (2) history of the place/presidents' heads. A gift shop at the entrance/exit had magnets, postcards, tree ornaments, posters, etc. Had a great time here and was lucky to get those tickets ahead of time because they run out quickly.

This seriously is really an awesome experience. Generally open once a month usually around major…read moreholidays like Labor Day, Memorial Day, Easter, Christmas, Thanksgiving, and evening in the night time they have special photo events. It is very easy to find once parked you meet some of the staff. You will sign a waiver and then get a quick rundown and you're able to go down on your own and explore. I highly recommend wearing rubber boots, rain, boots, etc. They do have some available, but if you have your own, that's awesome. When I was there, there were many people in flip-flops, sneakers, and dress shoes, and they could only explore so much. I stayed around up until they closed because as the sun was setting, the photography got better . The best time to visit is later in the day as sunsets. I would definitely do this more than once, as I feel like the photography could change, depending on the weather . I think this is a beautiful park and love how it is aging.

A great experience. We met Mike right on time and he walked each one of us through "how to ride,…read moreturn and stop". We felt confident heading out. He was in the lead and our helmets were equipped with microphones and ear pieces so we could communicate. It was a great hour going on a paved trail through marsh and meadow. All four of us are seniors and felt very safe.

I expect a little more spook than basic stories. It was a nice tour, but definitely not what I…read moreexpected. The stories told weren't even spooky just basic someone died here and now people hear or see things. I guess if your just wanting to find out basic who did where and who maybe haunting places this would be the perfect tour.

She infused the tour with humor while showcasing all the history of Williamsburg plus kept my kids and all the adults totally spellbound. The stories Allison told got deeper into the colonial history than I ever heard when visiting the area. She knows tales about the people who lived in the various homes we passed and the characters that roamed the streets. It was by far the best ghost tour I have ever taken anywhere and I try to do ghost tours whenever we take a trip. Get yourself a spot on her tour if you plan on being in the area.

We opted instead to take the scenic Colonial Parkway drive and perhaps catch some views over the river. We lucked out and found a free ferry that crossed the river just as the sun was setting. The storm couldn't hold back the sunset no matter how hard it tried and the ferry offered us the best views. In the end we got our sunset cruise and it didn't cost us a cent.
