St. Augustine Ghost Tour: A Ghostly Encounter

Overview

This is a 90-minute, unscripted walking tour that will take guests deep into St. Augustine’s darker history. Professionally licensed guides share stories passed from one generation to the next about the oldest city’s strange and difficult past. Tours are multi-generational, family friendly and pet friendly. Although guests with mobility limitations will also enjoy the tour, there are some steeets that may present a problem for certain wheelchairs/motorized wheelchairs.

Tours include some history and a lot of mystery. Guides will also provide instructions on how to use ghost hunting tools (which can be rented for $5). Guests are allowed and encouraged to bring along their own ghost hunting tools as well.

The tour was extremely informative and fun! Hippie was our host 10/10 would do this tour again if I visit in the future. We we to different haunted areas and taught us about things that are not written in the books in history. I loved this tour and Hippie was the best! Super sweet guy also. He made us laugh with his story-telling.

Highly recommend! Ghost tour guide “hippie” John made the experience one that was unforgettable. He was very knowledgeable with all the history and interactions w/the group. My daughters and I really enjoyed the tour!

We search high and low for just the right personalities to blend with our Ghostly Encounter family, and Hippie has certainly fit right in! We love the charm and humor he brings to his guests, and his historic and haunted knowledge of the area is extensive. We’re thrilled you and your daughters enjoyed your time and we want to wish you a very blessed holiday season. Welcome to the family!

I can't remember what his name was, but I called him The Good Pirate Robert's. His tour opener was, "Now I'm not big on rules because I'm a pirate, but we need to have a few understandings between us." He was fantastic. Wonderful story teller. Allowed the group to meander around different sites for pictures after the story. He told us the good, the bad, and the ugly stories about the city. We had some youngish kids in the group and he made sure they weren't too scared which I appreciate as a mom. I went to St. A by myself, and felt safe following this group around the city after dark.

We can tell by the first few words of your response that you had our resident pirate, Blanco! From his first introduction, you can tell that it certainly isn’t going to be just an average tour. Blanco is a skilled storyteller and entertainer and knows exactly how to show his guests a good time. Lastly, thank you for your emphasis on safety! We work extensively to ensure that our guests can relax and truly enjoy themselves, and we’re thankful for the first responders in our community who keep all of us safe. Thank you for your amazing review, have a beautiful holiday season, and welcome to the family!
