scammed

DIANE_K, Jun 2026

the meeting point was vague. No one ever heard of the Telling Elegies Tour. There weren't even tickets to print. We got scammed.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Our meeting instructions are provided through the Viator confirmation, and many guests are able to locate and join this tour using those details each week. Printed tickets are not required for our tours. Guests can check in using their Viator booking information.

Bad from Hello! When we arrived our guide was informative on how he was leaving the company and very negative . The tour he did had nothing of what was expected in the advertisement given . It was hands down the worse tour we have ever done . I was totally embarrassed after the tour because we had met friends there and wanted to have a great experience and it was nothing of the kind. I feel like we should get a complete refund due to his unprofessional acts and comments .

Response from Host, Aug 2025

We sincerely apologize for the guide’s unprofessional behavior and the disappointment it caused, especially when you were sharing the evening with friends.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave lots of adult-rated facts about the haunting history of St. Augustine. It was enjoyable

Jim_B, Apr 2025

Pretty good tour. The guide was enjoyable but we felt like he could have provided more historical facts and less about his own experiences. Many of his stories seemed made up and over exagerated.

Sally was very long winded and disjointed in her tales. It distracted from the spookiness she was trying to invoke.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

I'm sorry that you did not enjoy the tour. We will address this moving forward

Fun Group Activity

We had a great time with our guide, Lanna. She was very knowledgeable and funny - our group enjoyed the tour! We had a good time learning the history of the town along with scary ghost stories.

Fun Ghost Tour

Nick was an awesome tour guide, had a great time! You are given the history of the area, told who died there, why the area might be haunted, and some shared supernatural experiences. It is up to you to decide what you want to believe.

A fun night learning about the ghosts of the city of St Augustine

Rebecca_S, Feb 2024

Our tour guide, Nick, made the tour a lot of fun for everybody. He told us all about the a few of the ghosts of the city and what the people were like when they were alive. I especially liked learning about chief Osceola who sadly met his demise in St Augustine. And my fiancé took a photo that looks like it might contain a ghost in it. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in the ghosts and history of the city.

Disappointing

Prudence_T, May 2022

The guide was not a great narrator. Stories were too long and it took too long to get to the point. More of a history lesson than ghost tour.

Response from Host, Jun 2022

We are sorry to hear that you didn’t have a 5-star experience with us. We appreciate all feedback, and we assure you we will use this for future tour improvement.
