When it comes to "ghost tours" in St Augustine, we had seemingly countless ones from which to choose. For once, I made the right choice. For all the generic tourist trap by-the-book tours, there's one that breaks from that, and the Everdark Express did just that.
Lew was the most sincere, genuine and considerate tour guide I've ever had the pleasure of touring with in any city, and I have traveled this country extensively. Traveling with two tween daughters, I opted for this tour to cap off our FL vacation and give them something to really remember. The tour itself would have provided them with talking points for weeks or even months. Lew's interaction with them and their inclusion in some of the proceedings gave them a memory they'll likely hold for the rest of their lives.
Without giving anything away, this is equal parts tour, experiment and history lesson, or at least that's how we reflected on it. Having a seasoned, knowledgeable guide like Lew, who encouraged exploration and questions, and who never seemed to watch the clock, took this from a fun, spooky activity to one that we'll always remember.
