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.

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.
Marta_M, Jan 2026
The ghost tour was fun and informative.
Our guide Blanco was very entertaining 😊
We did the 8pm tour, which was perfect.
Chad_E, Jan 2026
We loved Blanco and his knowledge of the area. Can’t wait to do it again on our next trip here in a few months.
Joshua_T, Jan 2026
Blanco was an amazing guide! He's very passionate about what he does, which shows in his tours! 100% would recommend taking this tour with Blanco as your guide!
Aaron_D, Jan 2026
The tour was great! Blanco was very informative and had a great personality. We learned quite a bit of history as well as some ghost stories¡ Would recommend!
DAWN_S, Jan 2026
Very informative and fun. If I had to add to critique anything it would be that our tour guide be a little louder. He was very pleasant and nice to though.
Tina_H, Jan 2026
Outdoor walking tour. Rain and lightening. We did not go and no one called me back. Paid for something in advance that I didn't use. I will NOT do that again!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Our rain policy is provided to each client prior to touring. As stated, our tours proceed rain or shine and there is a 24 hour cancellation policy in place. Several of our guides, including myself, were working outside the night of your tour and-while there was a steady rain-there was no lightning in the area. Since your cancellation request occured within a few hours of your scheduled tour time, your refund request was denied.
Alyssa_V, Jan 2026
Scott was great! It was really fun and informative. I hope to come back again soon to see what else I can find.
Alison_P, Dec 2025
We had an absolute blast on this tour! Not only was Blanco amazing but he gave so much history of the town. It really made it come full circle! I love that he was dressed up because we did a ghost tour in New Orleans and our tour guide never dressed up so that was a really fun surprise! Definitely would recommend it to everyone!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Blanco is a tremendous guide and the costuming of our guides simply adds to the fun. We want to immerse our guests in the history and haunts of our town and it sounds like Blanco went above and beyond. Thank you for leaving him a review and have a wonderful 2026!
Colleen_S, Dec 2025
It really wasn't what we thought it would be. You don't see anything that looks like a ghost. Wish it was better.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
We apologize that the tour didn’t meet your expectations. A Ghostly Encounter strives to provide the best and most accurate ghost tour in St Augustine, and often times the spirits simply don’t cooperate. We’ll use your review to improve our services and hope that you and your family have a wonderful New Year!
Phyllis_O, Dec 2025
The guide was very informative and very thorough he also made sure the group stayed safe. The stories were very interesting.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for letting us know how much you appreciated the safety precautions we take with our guests. Have a wonderful New Year!
Gail_T, Dec 2025
Not what I expected. Stories were not really engaging. Definitely not worth $30/ pp people were dropping from group along the way. Very disappointing
Response from Host, Dec 2025
We’re sorry to hear that you were disappointed in your tour. Our guides work diligently to ensure guest satisfaction and we’ll use your review to improve our tour in the future. Have a great New Year!
Rachel_B, Dec 2025
Blanco was an awesome tour guide. He is a wonderful story teller and his tour is a nice blend of history and paranormal, with a little humor mixed in! My spouse and I have participated in many St. Augustine ghost tours over the years and this was one of our favorites for sure. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in St. Augustine's dark history and the many spirits who remain to this day.
Yvonne_P, Dec 2025
Blanco was awesome!! He was super engaging , arg! He was as well very personal, would answer your questions. Very knowledgeable and sensible , heartfelt and in love with history ! As myself and children are so it made our experience amazing! Thank you for being our tour guide, blessing and happy holidays my friend.
Emily_C, Dec 2025
This is a great tour of some of St. Augustine’s darker history. Blanco is very passionate about these stories from history and you can hear his love of the area.
MaryG_F, Nov 2025
The tour guide Dexter was amazing with his storytelling. However, the tour is not ghostly, it’s mostly about creepy stories of St Augustine. It’s basically a night walking tour around St Augustine’s cemeteries and fort.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you for such great insight to help Dexter improve his ghost host skills! We have extremely high standards for our guides and always want to hear when we fail to meet our guest’s expectations. Dexter is a gifted storyteller and your feedback will help him sharpen his “spooky” skills to offer a more suspenseful and scary experience. Your time is truly appreciated and we hope you have a very Merry Christmas!
