We had a wonderful and fun experience on the ghost tour. Ravinia is a terrific guide! She shared fascinating details about local ghostly events, history, and lore. It was clear that she possesses a depth of generational knowledge that only someone from the islands would know. This was our favorite tour of our vacation. Thank you for such a memorable experience.

What an amazing couple of hours! We learned so much - Ruvinia is not only incredibly knowledgeable, she’s also an amazing story teller and a fantastic human. We truly enjoyed getting to know a bit of the local lore and we are so glad we took this tour! 🩵

    Amazing time!

    Just wonderful! So much history and such a great time. Our guide was so knowledgeable, as a local she really gave one of a kind insights and stories. She is a part of the community and it shines through in her telling and love of the islands rich history. I hope to see her again one day in her own haunted house, turned tame by her own incredible spirit and energy ;) Highly recommend!

    I had an absolutely amazing time on this ghost tour! Our guide was the highlight of the experience she was knowledgeable, warm, and genuinely passionate about the city’s history. It was clear she had done her research, weaving together fascinating historical facts with spine-tingling local legends in a way that felt natural and engaging rather than scripted. What really set her apart was her ability to connect with the group. She was friendly and approachable, happy to answer questions and add extra details that brought each story to life. Whether you’re a history buff, a paranormal enthusiast, or just looking for a fun night out, this tour delivers on every level. I came away with a much deeper appreciation for the city’s past and maybe a few chills I can’t quite explain. Highly recommend!

    St. Thomas Ghost Tour

    Our ghost tour was absolutely incredible! Our guide was so knowledgeable about the history of the Virgin Islands and had such a gift for storytelling. She didn’t just share facts, she truly brought the history to life and made every stop feel immersive and memorable. You could tell how passionate she is about the islands and their history, and it made the entire experience so much more meaningful. This was easily one of the highlights of our trip, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting!

    Our family absolutely loved this ghost tour—it was one of the highlights of our trip! The stories were fascinating and just the right mix of eerie and historical, making it engaging for everyone in our group. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and brought the history of Charlotte Amalie to life with such passion and personality. They were also very friendly and made the whole experience feel personal and fun. Walking through the cobblestone streets at night added the perfect atmosphere, and we all left with chills (in the best way!). You can tell a lot of care goes into preserving the storytelling and history behind this tour. We would absolutely recommend this to anyone visiting the Virgin Islands!

    Our guide was very kind and we had a good time. It's evident that he cares about the stories and the pieces of the past.

    Amazing tour.

    Lisa_B, Mar 2026
    Rovinia (sorry if it is spelled incorrectly) was amazing! She brought the island to life with her enthusiasm and obvious love of her home and its history. She is 1000% the guide you want. So friendly and an incredible story teller. We were captivated by her. She seems to truly love looking into the history of St. Thomas and surrounding islands! We wish we did this earlier on our trip to be able to go into some of the buildings after learning about them (or maybe we shouldn’t go in). Thank you!!

    Sooooo Amazing!

    Vasilisa_B, Jan 2026
    She was AMAZING! She knew her history and lore! She made it fun and answered all questions! Will definitely do this again!

    Stories of Island Folklore.

    Sally_C, Jan 2026
    Tour guide was great at telling stories on the history of the island’s culture and folklore! She made the walking tour experience enjoyable and exciting with descriptive storytelling and knowledge of the local community members.

    Fabulous Historical Information and Storytelling

    The tour was excellent. Our guide introduced herself at the beginning of the tour. I am sorry I forgot her name, likely because about halfway through the tour, at our "break in the action at a local shop", the worker there referred to her as Ruby. From then forward, I only knew her as Ruby! Ruby was incredible. She had energy, enthusiasm, and incredible storytelling skills. It was supposed to be a two hour tour but Ruby kept going. It went the better part of three hours, I think. Ruby took us to 5-7 (I didn't keep track) different stops and told long form stories at each stop, providing historical information about the building or the space and the role of ghostly spirits that some believe still exist today. If you want a little freakiness, check out my attached photos. I found the one that is just a bunch of squiggly lines in my Google Photos the morning after the tour. I have no idea where that came from. Ruby might tell you she knows!

    Great way to learn about st Thomas

    Wonderful experience filled with history and local stories. Our guide was very interesting, friendly, and entertaining.

    Great tour

    Teresa_N, Jul 2025
    We had such a wonderful time on our ghost tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about St Thomas history and lore. Highly recommend!

    A great time

    Anne_S, Jun 2025
    Our guide was very informative. We lived her storytelling. We hung on every word. It would be helpful to have a microphone. Sometimes the traffic noise canceled the guides voice and we couldn't hear her.

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Thank you so much for choosing to take a tour with us! We will definitely look into the microphone situation, good feedback. Thanks!

    So much fun!

    I had such a great time learning about the haunted history of Charlotte Amalie. Our guide Ruvi was AMAZING. She is so passionate about sharing the history of the town and keeping those stories alive. Great energy. My one recommendation would be to wear tennis shoes as there is a lot of walking, particularly up many stairs. That was my bad. Overall, great experience!

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    We are so glad you guys had a great time! Thanks for taking a tour with us!

    Gabi was the BEST🖤

    Erica_B, Apr 2025
    This was a very cute quaint tour through town with interesting historic and haunting tid bits of info along the way. Our guide Gabi was super cool, knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend a couple of hrs on the town with. We stopped at a shop and bar and met some awesome locals and tourists as well and my EMF detector went off several times at some of the oldest buildings which dated back to the 17th century. If you like a haunt and some history this one is a can’t miss for you!

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Thank you for taking the tour and taking the time to leave such a detailed review! We love Gabi too!
