It was a brisk evening in St. Augustine during early March when my husband and I joined a group of approximately 8 other people for the History, Mayhem and Murder Tour. Jillian was our guide and I found her down to earth, friendly and generally caring to the members of the group. She answered questions easily along the tour as... More

Our group was small, about 8 showed and that was great. We got about 10 stories in various locations. A walking tour so you don't miss a location as you drive past. Jillian was our guide, and you could tell she was newer but got through it ok and she had a good personality.

My husband, two dogs and I took the tour with Jillian and we loved it! It was very informational and entertaining. Jillian was very knowledgable and friendly, even including the dogs in the discussion!

We're college students in our 20's and we loved this tour! Stacy is great, all of the info was super interesting, and, best of all, it was FACTUAL! I hear it isn't the "typical" ghost tour but I couldn't have imagined it being any better UNLESS Stacy took us up on our offer to buy her a drink after the... More

The tour itself was good but I was made to feel as if I was getting a 4th grade history lesson. Alan has a good delivery and could do very well if he were to creep it up a bit. Sorry Alan you do a good job, but bring it up to an adult level,,,more creepiness, PLEASE.

We were in town with our daughter for her 12th birthday. She loves ghost stories, so we booked this tour for a fun family outing. "Ghost hunting" is not really what this tour is about, but she still really enjoyed it! Alan was our guide. He was very entertaining, knowledgeable, funny, and seemed to have no problem keeping her attention... More

This tour was just ok for the money. I was impressed with the fact that there was a lot of history involved with this tour, but I would have loved to had a little more ghost talk on a ghost tour.

We went on this walking tour with friends and our dogs. Alan was our knowledgeable guide. He gave us lots of history on murders, plagues, and other gruesome goings on from the 16-20 century. It was a very enjoyable evening and a lot of fun considering the subject matter. I would not recommend this tour for the kiddies, but it... More

My husband and I and two of our good friends took this tour with JJ. It was the best time! We happened to be the only ones taking the tour that night, so we had a really great experience. JJ is really friendly and easy-going. He is patient and answers all of your questions....although you might not have too many.... More

My 11 yr old daughter and I took this tour and we really enjoyed it. Allan our guide was very knowledgable and had some great stories. Allan also had a very good sense of humor which made the tour even more enjoyable. It is sometimes difficult to find a tour that entertains young teenagers and adults but this one was... More
