We did a team building tour and was really good. My coworkers from outside FL and some have never been before so they enjoined the historic part of the tour with a little of ghost twist.

There is a bit of walking, but very doable. Miss Sadie is an excellent storyteller and weaves a lot of interesting local tales into her tour. You can tell she is a keen student of Saint Augustine history and has done a lot of research over the years and is highly knowledgeable about the area. We thoroughly enjoyed her tour!

Wes was very informative and we learned a lot about St Augustine, we had a great time. Wonderful family event with our college aged kiddos. Fun way to spend the evening after dinner
Adam_L, Jul 2026
Our guide, West, was very enthusiastic about keeping our kids involved and engaged. Our group really enjoyed the experience.

Our experience was very good! I would recommend this tour to anyone. Blanco was super knowledgeable and great personality. We were very glad he was our guide!
Kayle_H, Jul 2026
Great experience! A plethora of knowledge. I knew St. Augustine had a lot of history, but I didn’t realize just how interesting all of it was! Sandy was a great story teller and had the perfect mix of history and ghost stories. I wasn’t scared through during the activity, but I did keep checking my surroundings when walking back to my car in the dark haha. Had a great time with friends and family and would highly recommend this to anyone who loves history and the telling of stories that could otherwise have been lost in time.

Our tour guide MatLock was very passionate and seemed knowledgeable, but the stories that were told did not seem relevant to Saint Augustine's history and half of the stories were not actually ghost stories at all. The first story was just in a random parking lot was about some Bishop that died and it took about 20 minutes of us standing in a random parking lot. Once again, the story had nothing to do with the location we were at and was not relevant to Saint Augustine's history or involved any ghosts at all. For the most part, the tour was kind of boring and drawn out because nothing interesting was going on.

Blanco was amazing. My daughters and I had the best time with him as our tour guide. A must do while visiting.
Colin_M, Jun 2026
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.

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!

John_B, Jun 2026
Very informative,lots of history explained,guide was awesome,I would recommend to all ages,sheriff the guide was great
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.
