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!!!

The hosts are terrible story tellers. There are no stories about old residents or much in the way…read moreof history. The stories are all about the staff that work there now and how they're sure spooky things have happened to them. We left after 2 stops because it didn't satisfy the desire for a good story or a good scare. Don't waste your money.

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.

Although the tour wasn't "scary" it was entertaining. Our "ghost host" was actually very funny,…read morecharming and informative. They stayed in character the entire time and really kept our attention. We went into 3 houses and instead of touring the homes you just enter a room and sit to hear the stories then move to the next. I think to really elevate the tour it would be nice to see the rooms we are hearing about ! The price was very fair $19 per person and it lasted about an hour and 15 minutes. It was worth our money to get out of the house but I would love to see more interactive things added into this fun experience! We really appreciate our host. Thank you!

The positive: the tour lets you inside three historic buildings including the peyton randolph…read morehouse. The bad: The tour does not cover any lore of actual hauntings ( the unofficial one does) or much of any actual history. Our tour guide misled the tourists from the start by stating most buildings are 250+ years old. When in fact, it was burnt down during the civil war and rebuilt by the Rockerfellers in the 1930s. When another guest directly asked her how old the buildings were she said she did not know. The stories were: 1. About a portal in the basement of the peyton Randolph house, 2: a story the family who previously owned the house might've told their daughters ( unrelated to anything cw, think a bad scary story time on youtube) and 3. About some guy's pipe smoke that can sometimes be smelled- in all fairness I was not paying attention at that point.) Interestingly, she made a comment about how other ghost stories were made up in the 1930's. I think it was an attempt to discredit the unofficial tours? Funny how she didn't know that the buildings were not spooky scary colonial originals but knew cw started in the 30´s. Why to go on the other tours: 1. The only part of the buildings we were allowed to see/enter were the front rooms. 2. Other tours include info on the civil war era, hauntings in the peyton randolph house, and ghostly encounters the staff and workers have had through out the years. 3. They provide accurate information and dates about the buildings.

Highly recommend BWT! Everything about our Yorktown Tour experience was exceptional. Booking was…read moresimple, logistical communications were prompt and clear. Bambi picked us up at Williamsburg Inn, asked about our preferences and then filled the day with interesting historical references and stories. She used a voice amplifier to ensure all passengers could hear clearly along the route and offered us snacks and drinks. Bambi was very knowledgeable about all topics and complimentary of the interpreters from the sites we visited. She provided detail accounts on all aspects of the time from land formation, battles, troop movements and daily life. Her passion, breadth and depth of knowledge made for a very educational and enjoyable day. We highly recommend BWT!
