Exclusive Private Colonial Williamsburg Walking Tour by a Local

Cyndi hosted a private...

Cyndi hosted a private walking tour for my daughter and I- we were in town to visit William and Mary for a college tour. My daughter had been to Williamsburg before I had not. We didn’t have a ton of time in town. Rather than purchasing tickets, we purchased this tour with Cyndi. What a great choice! Cyndi was extremely knowledgeable and it had pictures and other artifacts, such as spun wool, to argument our experience. Cyndi knew various people around town and invited them to participate in our tour. For example, the bellman at the Williamsburg Inn shared some really great stories about when Queen Elizabeth II visited in 2007. Cyndi was able to answer all of my curious kid’s questions. This tour does not go into buildings so a Ticket to Colonial Williamsburg is not needed. I would recommend this tour as a preview for a one day Williamsburg visit or as a way to efficiently get an overview of Williamsburg if you are short on time.

Dead Of Night Ghost Tour in Williamsburg / PARANORMAL EQUIPMENT

Great Tour- Highly Recommend (Ask for Denny)

Did the Dead of Night Tour recently with my family. We had a lot of fun. My Dad (who was in a bad mood) heckled our poor guide the entire tour, but he rolled with the punches and kept the tour top-notch despite the setback. Kudos to Denny (the guide) who was extremely knowledgeable and engaging the entire time. He really knows his stuff! Would recommend this tour to anyone interested in the paranormal. Just make sure you leave your cranky loved ones at home or the hotel as you are conducting mini paranormal investigations.
