What To Expect
Colonial Williamsburg Capitol Building
Experience the many ghosts of this old colonial town that are still seen today. Learn of the hangings of Blackbeard's crew and what happened to Blackbeard's skull. Did our forefathers really drink from his skull? Stand right where Grace Sherwood, the most famous witch, is often seen during mock trials in the Capitol and hear of her fate, finally pardoned by Gov. Tim Kean after centuries of being called the Witch of Pungo. Learn of Anne Bonny and Mary Reed (a woman posing as Mark Reed) who were aboard Calico Jack's ship and fought like men. Top it all off by going to the Jones Graveyard, where Ida Jones still haunts the graves today, in the late-night hours.

5.00We really enjoyed Mike and his shared knowledge and personality. He was easy to hear and understand (I wear hearing aids and usually have a hard time hearing guides). It was a little cooler to do this in the evening, but harder to take pictures once the sun went down. Overall, it was a good experience and I would recommend this to anyone looking for a guided tour.
Enjoyed it very much

5.00Guide Mike was informative, very pleasant & entertaining. Fascinating tidbits of colonial history & various settlers. Right amount of time in each location. No interior visits inside houses, which we had expected
Our guide spoke way too fast and didnt seem to finish one story before going to the next...

2.00Our tour guide, Grace, didnt dress in colonial clothing. She spoke SO fast and jumped from crazy story to crazy story. She seemed to have messed up dates and times and acted like a crazy person half the time... I feel like we didnt learn much and just wanted to leave half way through. Even my two girls didn't understand what she was saying most of the time. Pretty disappointed.
Family fun!
