Lynn was an awesome guide she gave us tons of history along with some really memorable ghost stories that made me want to go in search of those spirits until I met each one I would definitely recommend going on the tour and definitely see if you can get Lynn as a guide because she is such a lovely guide!

We wanted a paranormal experience, instead received a 4th grade history lesson on St. Augustine. From the begining of the tour, Mary (our tour guide) was almost rude. You walk down the same street the entire time, stopping at "haunted sites" along the way.....sometimes way toooo long. I would recommend this only to families who have never been to St.... More

I have been on a lot of ghost tours in St Augustine but this was the worst tour I have ever done. The tour guide sounded like she smoked four packs a day and you could not hear her half the time. The Spanish Hospital was a joke, well really the whole tour was a joke. The best part was... More

This used to be the best ghost tour in the city. Having gone on it prior to the ill-advised change converting it from a great source for historic tales of the city to a poorly acted camp-fest, we were so disgusted that we left after the first 15 minutes. Unless it's changed back from the current format, don't waste your... More

This is an absolute must do for visitors to St. Augustine. We had a private tour of the Castillo de San Marcos by Julie. She told us she wouldn't be able to do our ghostly encounter that night. We were instead greeted by a mummy that night who proceeded to carry us to the most haunted places in the city... More

A walking tour that told a couple of hokey stories, not scarey and mostly just informational. The young adults and teenagers in our party were basically bored and were hoping for a at least something a little spooky in terms of a paranormal or ghostly encounter as the tour is named. I felt bad for the kids becasue this was... More

This tour is great way to spend the evening! The tour guide was dressed in costume and she was very knowledgeable and a great actress too. "Samantha" told us stories in the Spanish Hospital and also on the streets of St. Augustine. Our tour ended in the Higgenbothem home were another story was told by a different guide. This was...

Great stories, with a good balance of "scare factor" and history. Nice touch that the guides are in period costume. Our guide Samantha was very entertaining, played her role very well and had great interaction with the group. Highly recommended. More

What can I say this tour was amazing! Morgans acting skills were second to none!  She told each story wonderfully.  The whole experience was just great!  More
