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.
Ideal for families, this ghost tour of St. Augustine’s spookiest sites combines light-hearted fun with spine-tingling tales of the city’s past. Alongside a costumed guide, you visit cemeteries, the ground of the Old Fort, and other haunted locations to discover the little-known legends that surround the romantic venue. This tour is limited in order to maintain an atmosphere suitable for the ghost walk. • Haunted ghosts walk around historic St. Augustine • Ideal for families, the tour combines humor with spooky stories. • Visit allegedly haunted spots such as the Old Fort and local cemeteries. • Keep your eyes peeled for restless souls in two cemeteries.

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.

Our guide Lee was extremely knowledgeable about the bloody and deadly history of St Augustine. He was very chatty, and had good energy. But there weren't many places we visited where we could try to LOOK for or hear about specific ghosts. While we heard a LOT about the deaths and battles surrounding many of our stops, there was only a small offhand anecdote or 2 at each place regarding sightings of orbs or specific ghosts.
I had hoped a GHOST experience would focus more on the ghosts and stories of sightings related to those specific historical events rather than a deadly history tour of downtown St Augustine.
We also rented EMF readers for $5, and were only in a few areas where we could use them briefly without massive interference from electricity, power lines, or crowds of people - so they were essentially useless.
Overall, it was an enjoyable night - but not what we were expecting from a GHOST tour.

Excellent story telling with scary amd ghastly topics! Glad we live now and not when St. Augustine was first a city. Fun tour with 2 cemeteries. Thank you for a fun time!

It was disappointing. The story telling didn’t flow well and the experience was underwhelming. We left the tour early.
