What To Expect

Castillo de San Marcos National Monument

We'll discuss the founding of St. Augustine, the imprisonment of the Seminole Tribe, the ghost of Osceola, and the ghosts of the Doomed Lovers. This stop deals with decapitation, infidelity, betrayal, war, and freedom.

Huguenot Cemetery

Here, we'll talk about the ghost of John Stickney, whose teeth were robbed from his grave.

Tolomato Cemetery

This is the story of the "Exploding Bishop," whose casket exploded. We'll also talk about the ghost of "Little James," the five-year-old who died across the street.

Oldest Wooden School House

This little schoolhouse is more historically and architecturally crucial than it might have been otherwise as this is the oldest wooden structure in the city.

I was very disappointed in our tour. I’ve done several ghost tours in St. Augustine and this was by far the worst. One of the things I’ve always loved about the walking tours is the tour guides dress in period costume and carry lanterns through the dark street. Our guide showed up in jeans, a T-shirt and visor. We then went to four different places, were told the stories, then told that those stories aren’t real, and this is what actually happened. The guide spent more time talking to a select few guests, than telling stories and seemed very uninterested in giving the tour.

It’s extremely unfortunate your guide provided you with this type of tour. It is completely unacceptable, and we assure you that is not the standard we set at our company. We appreciate all feedback, and we assure you we will use this for future tour improvement. To make up for this, we would like to offer you free tickets to use in any of our cities, without expiration, in hopes of giving you a much better experience.

Our group really enjoyed the tour; Courtney gave historical insight and just enough "spooky" insight to give pause and think about "what could be". She was friendly; had a good personality and added authenticity to the experience. This was a great tour with a much younger group member that didn't cause the "scare" factor. The only suggestion would be enough time for a bathroom break maybe mid-way of the tour but that is certainly not a deal breaker! We enjoyed it very much.

We had a fabulous experience with Courtney. We had three young kids with us (7,5, and 4) who were decked out in “night vision goggles” and an EMF reader so they could catch some ghosts. They had high expectations for the tour and she certainly delivered. She was engaging with the kids, kept them moving to keep them focused, and had a bunch of cool stories to share. The kids cannot stop talking about it and want to go again tonight. All in all, we would totally book her again. Thank you, Courtney. Our kids absolutely loved you.
