Summary:
This tour was amazing! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Williamsburg and gave us suggestions on how to best capture apparitions that may be lurking. I took over 100 photos of the different buildings on the tour and found some anomalies that were there when I took the photos but after looking at the photos, there appeared to be an apparition. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes as the tour is by foot and he takes you through a tour down a street in Williamsburg. The photos he showed us really helped tell the story of Williamsburg as well.
