Absolutely horrible experience
Paul_B
, Apr 2022
We were really looking forward to a ghost tour in such an historic town. There were 75 - 100 guests booked so we were broken up into 3, albeit large groups. Our tour guide dressed and sounded like he was more at home organizing a kegger on campus. He did go through some of the local history but his delivery of the stories was given without style, passion or drama. We literally couldn't take any more, so we left after just over an hour. It was the worst $50 I have spent this year.
Response from Host , Apr 2022
Hi Paul. We're sorry about your experience. It looks like the experience didn't match all of the 5-star experiences of the other guests who take the tour. We're a little confused as the tour only lasts just over an hour. However, if you did not have a good experience, we'd love the opportunity to make this right and offer you a free tour with another guide. We want all of our guests' experiences to be 5-star experiences like the ones below your review. Please message us at 844-757-5657 or email us at tours@iworksllc.com and we'd be happy to make this right.
Great time!

I loved it all! The history and seeing everything was just amazing. Our tour guide was funny and told the best stories and answered any questions we had. I think his name was William he had long hair he wore in a ponytail, he was the best and my kids loved having him super friendly. Would definitely do again if we ever come back to visit!

I had been on this same tour 2 years ago and it was 10 times better. Guide only showed 4 or 5 places, whereas the previous trip we heard 5 different stories before we really got into the trip. Paid for a 90 minute tour and it maybe lasted an hour.

My husband and I came to Williamsburg to celebrate our 28th anniversary. We have take a ghost tour here before and enjoyed it so much we decided to go again. Peter was an excellent guide. We will definitely come again.
Loved it.

Michael was great. We have been on other ghost tours but his personal experience with the area really brought this one to life.
Nice and enjoyable...

Nice and enjoyable evening! Family friendly as well. Our tour guide, Patrick, did a great job. I’d definitely recommend as a fun activity to do with the family while you’re in Williamsburg!
Good family fun!

Patrick was our tour guide and he was great! We really enjoyed this event. It was informative but not scary so it is great for the entire family.

Thi tour was not up to our expectations at all. The guide did not wait for the group to arrive at the spot she was describing and It was difficult to hear her. She often spoke while she was walking and we couldn’t hear any of what she said. She speed walked fast and made it so difficult to keep up that one of our party was unable to keep the pace and ennded up dropping out of the tour. I am disappointed and feel I waisted my money.

No one showed up to give the tour. There were 15 of us waiting for over an hour. The tour company could not be reached by phone. We left voicemails and emails and still the next day have heard nothing regarding a refund. We would like to hear from this company ASAP.
Response from Host , May 2021
Hi Charles. Thank you for your feedback and for letting us know about your experience. We are deeply sorry you did not receive the 5-star experience we strive to provide for guests on tours. Thank you for allowing us the chance to make this right and we do hope we are able to have you join us at a later date.
Great night getting spooked

This tour was a blast! Matt was super knowledgeable about the history and we all laughed and had a great time. We learned more history and fun facts on this tour than we did spending our entire day at colonial Williamsburg. We were even skeptical going in, as we had a bunch of younger kids in our group. We were worried it would be lame. It did not disappoint, and...there are definitely some spooky things going on. Do yourself a favor and book this tour!
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
