It was a really fun haunted tour! I would highly recommend! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. He said it was his first tour, but he did a fantastic job! A lot of interesting St Augustine history and a couple of really spooky stops!

My only complaint is that we didn't go to more places! The bus was cool and comfortable and the stories were entertaining. The kids loved it. The sites we visited would have cost the same amount as the tickets without the tour. Definitely a super cool experience!

Discover the secrets of the Tolomoto Cemetery and the apparition seen playing on the sacred grounds after dark. Keep a watchful eye while passing the old City Gates, where you might catch a glimpse of Elizabeth, a child victim of the yellow fever, waving to passersby.

Then, get an up-close-and-personal encounter of the town’s most haunted building, the Old Jail, where many well-known hangings were carried out.

Don't Do It...Run The Other Way

Don_C, Jul 2026
It sucks...save your cash. The whole thing was a joke. Worst "tour" Ive ever been on. If I could have hopped off I would have.

The sites are worth the cost in themselves

Kaitlin_S, Jul 2026

Buyer Beware

angie_m, Jul 2026
Here’s a cleaner, stronger version that keeps your point without making it sound dramatic or petty: The haunted trolley tour was okay. It was not a complete waste of time, and there were a few good moments, but I would never do it again and would have been perfectly happy to have skipped it. Our tour guide was clearly knowledgeable, but she spoke far too quickly and delivered the information with very little excitement or entertainment value. We could barely hear or follow much of what she was saying. The tour also required us to get on and off the trolley several times. The guide did not ask guests to return to their original seats, so someone took ours and we took someone else’s. We later learned that this accidentally separated a family, which could have been avoided with clearer instructions. The company also does not make it clear that the tour involves walking, uneven surfaces, and stairs. An elderly woman in our group nearly fell more than once and was unable to participate in the final portion. These physical requirements should be stated clearly before booking and again at the beginning of the tour. Overall, it was not a good experience. The locations were underwhelming, the guide was difficult to hear, and the tour was not exciting or especially entertaining. The only genuinely enjoyable parts were the live actors.

Kids loved it

Great experience, host was amazing and did a great job at telling the history of the ghost. I did catch a few orbs on my phone.

Great Haunted Trolley Tour!

Susan_H, May 2026
It was a really fun haunted tour! I would highly recommend! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. He said it was his first tour, but he did a fantastic job! A lot of interesting St Augustine history and a couple of really spooky stops!

Amazing

Roberto_F, May 2026
Great and the personnel super knowledgeable I loveeeee it my husband first time and he enjoyed it a lot

Skip this one. It was 85.00 bucks and silly

Kristi_A, May 2026
It was OK we’ve done one in Savannah that was much cooler. This one was too much about theatrics and not really spooky or really interesting at all.

Ghost tour

Ray_H, May 2026
Very colorful team that made the tour very much fun! Team at the jail was very informative, but very much fun to keep everyone entertained

Fun and a bit cheeky

April_M, May 2026
I wish that it would’ve been more explained that there was walking and on top of that stairs that were meant to be that needs to be climbed on the tour. I feel like it could just be a little bit more explained. My mother is unable to really walk and definitely unable to climb stairs so that part was unfortunate. I also feel like a pamphlet or a paper that kind of explained the different locations and history at sometimes it was hard to hear.

Gotta see this! You won’t be disappointed

Shannon_C, Apr 2026
Great time! The hostess and the role players were funny and just so awesome! Will definitely be back

Beyond amazing!

Fab Trolly Ghost Tour in St. Augustine!

Aysia_W, Apr 2026
Fantastic- history plus ghost stories in one and the “cast” was excellent. Friendly people, perfect length. Nice Trolly.

Great choice for ghost stories in St. Augustine!

Liz_P, Apr 2026
We were looking forward to a seated ghost tour and it was even better than we expected. Well worth the money, we laughed and learned the whole time!

Great experience

Omar_M, Mar 2026
It is not scary. It’s very informative and educational. Went in with my wife and daughter not knowing what to expect but it was great. Tour guides and characters were amazing and made it so cool.

Stories of Pirates

Lori_M, Mar 2026
A little lighthearted fun! Stories of pirates and kids who walk the cemetery at night. With stops at the Jail and wax museum to give you just an introduction to these fine establishments! The characters gave an excellent theatrical presentation!

Delightful trolley ride...

Sar_G, Mar 2026
Delightful trolley ride with Lenora! She was very sweet and did a great job with the presentation of the tour despite being new to the gig. She was enthusiastic and engaging. The tour itself is a unique delight—it’s a little different than traditional ghost tours, but that didn’t make it any less fun!

Haunted Trolly Tour

David_S, Feb 2026
Very well put together tour with numerous stops. The later the better for spookiness. Going to the jail last was great. Even though we did the jail by itself previous trips this was awesome because of the actors and being the only group there.

We loved every minute of it!

Ric_D, Feb 2026
Absolutely worth it! Fun stuff!! Take the last tour. Chuck/Chuckles was quite the hit! Make sure you participate. Enjoy!

So so

We might have been expecting something different but we were disappointed with the tour. Some of it was entertaining but some not so much.

Stephanie_P, Jan 2026
This ghost tour was an amazing experience and very well worth it. There was plenty of time at each stop to truly learn the history and soak in the atmosphere. Getting to experience the Potter’s Wax Museum and the Old Jail was incredible and made the night feel immersive and fun. Our speaker, Selene, was knowledgeable, engaging, and kept the stories captivating throughout the tour. Slasher Steve was a great driver and added to the overall experience, and “inmate” Charlie was a fantastic touch that made the Old Jail visit unforgettable. Overall, it felt like we got to experience so much of St. Augustine in just one night. Highly recommend!

Fun Hearing Ghost Stories

Karen_S, Jan 2026
Very entertaining and a fun time. We had a great time. The staff was great and did a great job. We would recommend.

Highly Recommended!

Anna_K, Jan 2026
WOW! Slasher Steven and Adele were absolutely AMAZING! A must do when in St Augustine! Thank you guys so much for the best tour!

Appeals to all ages.

Joanne_M, Jan 2026
It is a lot of fun. We all enjoyed every part of it. We will be back again. There was 5 of us ages 68, 32,25, 23, 17.

Great way to start the night off!

George_D, Jan 2026
Ruth was excellent as the guide. Very funny and great friendly demeanor! The different supporting members were all great.

Great time!

Tammy_W, Jan 2026
The ghost tour was great!! Highly entertaining. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and charismatic. We had a great time!

Exited but too little things to see

maricruz_n, Dec 2025
Liked it, it should have more to see. I didn't understand much from the host but I figured it out while were were seeing things.

Great tour

Mary_P, Dec 2025
Loved this tour. We were able to get off several stops and the tour guide was knowledgeable about the history.

It’s really very historic...

susan_L, Dec 2025
It’s really very historic which is good. But for the kids they were pretty bored. I think they expected more darkness and scary
