The tour guide was awesome, and the tour was educational and entertaining. Highly recommend this to anyone.
Robert_S, Jun 2026
Not what we expected at all. We have done tours in the past. The guide was too long winded and the stories were hard to follow. We started out with a hope of 15 but he end we only had 4 or 5 left in the group.

The Sheriff is a great guide - storyteller, factual, and humorous as needed. He has done the research! If it's a hot night, be prepared with lots of water!
Raul_P, Jun 2026
Our tour guide Blanco was fantastic! Great humor and was passionate about his job. Would definitely recommend.
Matthew_L, Jun 2026

This experience was so incredible. We had Blanco as our tour guide. He was super awesome. Blanco made the tour entertaining, incredible, and spooky! Blanco told us amazing historical stories and ghost encounters. We even caught a picture of a ghost! Blanco was super helpful if we had a question he could answer everything. He was incredibly kind, funny, and made things enjoyable. We also went to
Some incredible locations! We highly recommend the tour! Make sure to book it with Blanco! 10/10!

Emily_B, Jun 2026
I'm sure this tour is heavily dependent on who you get as a tour guide, and ours was unfortunately not a good storyteller. We actually had 2 people in our group leave early it was so bad. I would have as well if not for social graces. The guide was very boring and didn't tell very many ghost stories. Next time I'm in St. Augustine I will have to try again, and hope I get a better guide so I can hear some interesting lore.
Matelon_D, Jun 2026
Our guide was great! We really enjoyed the ghost tour! Very informative and learned a lot of st Augustine history as well as some scary stories!
Sandra_J, Jun 2026
Our tour guide definitely had personality and potential to be great but unfortunately we find him a bit unnecessarily long winded about the stories he was sharing- for a 90 minute walking tour that was to include history and ghosts- it just seemed like we could have been given so much more info as we were walking- more short stories and historical info about the buildings we passed, etc. I’ve used Viator to book many tours in the part and have never been disappointed so this was a bit of a let down & I feel horrible leaving this kind of lack-luster review! There was actually another guide “shadowing” our tour who quietly shared more info with us as we walked along- at one point I wished he’d been the one giving the tour instead of our actual guide. Again our tour guide did seem like he had the right kind of passion for the area and great showmanship potential for delivering info in an entertaining way, but at this point it was just “okay”.

Blonco was amazing! He made it so fun and you feel his passion for what he does! We had an amazing time!
Adrianna_K, May 2026
Scarlet is such a good storyteller! It’s so cool to see these spots you’d normally walk by not thinking much of only to learn about all the lore behind them. You can also tell Scarlet is genuine and not trying to fake us all out. Thank you so much!
sandra_c, May 2026
We had a very educational time. Our tour guide was very talkative and full of information and answered every question.
Cassandra_C, May 2026
Blanco was amazing! We loved the historical focus of the stories. Highly recommend going during a time that’s after sunset.
dabney_h, Apr 2026
a MUST for when you come to St. Augustine. Scarlett was the BEST tour guide. So many great ghost stories and she is extremely knowledgeable about the history of the city.
Kody_A, Apr 2026
Our guide, Gracie, did an amazing job and super personable! So much fun! I would recommend to anyone!
Vicki_S, Apr 2026
Blanco was a fun tour guide around some of the ghostly locations in St Augustine. We enjoyed his stories and appreciated his historical knowledge, too!
Michael_G, Apr 2026
Blanco was our tour guide and was very passionate about St. Augustine history and its many ghost stories!
Chuck_M, Apr 2026
Wasn’t my thing. Story telling wasn’t fluid, felt forced. Just seemed a little off. My 15 year old daughter felt same way.
Diane_F, Mar 2026
Little long, but very interesting pirate full of history about St Augustine. Small kids not made afraid of ghosts.
Amy_E, Mar 2026
Expect to walk and stand a lot. Some people may want a flash light or phone to light the path. Great "ghost" stories.
Kaye_W, Mar 2026
The pirate told has stories of the dead who have not left. From a young boy to a QUEEN wife he made them alive even though they’ve been long dead.
Amy_S, Mar 2026
Blanco was very knowledgeable about his city. You can tell he enjoys what he does. My daughter thought it was great that he was dressed up like a pirate! He provides a lot of history about the city, would have liked a little more ghost storytelling.
Karen_Z, Mar 2026
A great detailed tour.
Mr. J was spot on..we had our questions answered and a fun time. Great way to spend my '70th' Birthday w my family too !!
Brian_S, Feb 2026
Great experience. Blanco was fantastic and extremely knowledgeable. He is so passionate about this..
Robert_S, Feb 2026
This tour was very boring was not what we expected at all you could tell that the people that was leading us on the tour was very unexperienced and really didn’t know if they were doing
Maureen_R, Feb 2026
I’ve been on many ghosts tours, and this was very disappointing. The tour guide, while enthusiastic, did not know how to tell a story. And over the course of 90 minutes, only told 5 stories. I picked up a book in a local library that was filled with St. Augustine ghost stories. There are plenty he could have shared and didn’t..
Ian_M, Feb 2026
Blanco did an excellent job with explaining the history behind every location we stopped. He was very engaging and answered any questions that we had.
Spike_S, Feb 2026
We had great time with The Sheriff! He had the best stories and historical insights! He was engaging and entertaining, with tales of odd happenings, creepy facts, sad tales, and even some funny stories. I highly recommend you request him for your tour.
