Traveler reviews
Highly recommend
We absolutely loved our hour and a half walking tour with St. Augustine Ghost Tour: A Ghostly Encounter! Chief was an incredible tour guide! He was knowledgeable, entertaining, personable and clearly passionate about both the history and the stories of St. Augustine. He had a great way of bringing the past to life while keeping the tour fun, engaging and just the right amount of spooky! You could tell he genuinely enjoys sharing these stories and his storytelling made the entire experience memorable. He was also great at answering questions and making everyone feel involved throughout the tour. My personal favorite story was the “Exploding Bishop.” It’s a local urban legend involving Bishop Augustin Verot, but I won’t say anything more because I don’t want to give away the story! You’ll definitely want to hear Chief tell it. If you love horror, history, ghost stories and a good dose of fun, I highly recommend this tour! It was one of our favorite experiences in St. Augustine and Chief made it even better. Highly recommend!
So fun!
Our guide Sadie was amazing!! She did such an awesome job with the storytelling and really wrapped us up in the history. Even if you’re not into ghost stories the history is still so cool. Thanks for a great night Sadie!
Spooky fun times
Zack was great and was very thorough with the tour in showing us all the spooky places. We had a great tour and time!
History Lesson terrorist attack
Excellent tour, I learned a lot of history as well
Ghostly tour
Our tour guide Zach did an awesome job of explaining some of the detailed history of St. Augustine as well telling us about very interesting and spine tingling ghost stories and citings ccurring in town. This town seems to be ripe with ghosts and spirits due to its long and storied history.
