Very informative and fun. Donnie was great, he showed us pictures and related experiences that made each story come to life.

Step into the shadows of America’s oldest city on a spine-tingling adults-only ghost tour through haunted St. Augustine. This isn’t your typical history lesson—this is the dark side of paradise, where whispers of murder, madness, and mayhem echo through centuries-old streets. Led by an expert storyteller, you’ll journey through eerie alleyways and forgotten corners, uncovering chilling tales too twisted for daytime tours. Ghostly echoes of long-dead pirates, prisoners, and lovers. These aren't just legends—they’re the real stories that locals whisper about after dark. Our tour brings you up close to some of the city’s most haunted landmarks—no jump scares, just raw, unnerving history that clings to the cobblestones. Whether you're a skeptic or a true believer, you’ll feel the chill as you walk in the footsteps of the dead. Mature themes, vivid storytelling, and an atmosphere charged with the unknown make this a ghost tour you won’t forget.

This wasn't a walking ghost tour so much as a standing around listening to approximate history tour. We spent almost 30 minutes (out of 90) at the fort even though the entire group was freezing and miserable in the weather. After that rough start, we went to three more locations before hitting the last three on the same street in the last 15 minutes. It was not scary and actually so boring it felt like being transported back into high school history taught by a substitute teacher. Even those of us who are huge history buffs found it so dry. The guide was constantly confusing names too. We definitely weren't scared and didnt feel like we learned much. In fact, of our group of 6, five of us seriously considered cashing in on their money-back guarantee. Ultimately we decided against it because it may have just been our specific guide. In general, we really appreciated that it was adults only and dog friendly. An earlier start than 930 would've been better though, especially on the weekend when downtown is rowdier than you'd expect for St Augustine.

Dannie (or Donnie not sure) was great. He was a very good storyteller and also very knowledgeable. It was entertaining but it was not as scary or gory as I expected for an adults only tour and maybe could have used a couple more ghost stories. Otherwise, very good.

The tour wasn’t as described…adult only…two young teen girls. Ethan started enthusiastic at the castle and the story of Doris and Manuel was great! After that I don’t know what happened. We started as a group of 16, after we left the first cemetery, we lost 6. By the end of the tour there was six. He walked very fast, seemed to loose interest in the remaining party and he was hard to hear. The stories were really good but appropriate for a younger crowd…We felt bad because everyone just dropped off the tour…but, we even felt dismissed at the end of the tour…we would not do this tour again.

Three complaints. 1) We got there about 5 minutes before 9:30pm (it was supposed to start at 9:30pm) and the tour guide had already started! When we asked her what time it started, she said oh she thought everyone was there. She did not start over with the first story, so we did not get the full story for the first one. 2) The tour ended after 45min, when this site says it was supposed to be 90min. 3) I see photos of the cemetery and some other places that we did not visit during our tour. Had it been the full 90min, then I'm assuming we would have seen all of that. Needless to say, we felt cheated
