How Ironic, I went on the Ghostly Encounter almost 6 years to to the day. Didnt even realize this until I was looking for my reviews.
First, let me tell you, it was a positive experience from the getgo. I had booked this tour for my bestie as she is a history buff for our girls trip because I had remembered how fun it was for me and my daughters. On this visit, looking at the weather report, we were in for some serious bad weather about an hour into our 8:40 start time..
I called and spoke to Lisa about the tour possibility of being cancelled..I explained we were from out of town and staying about 1/2 hour away. She tentatively put my name on two earlier tours so depending on how long I took to get there, I'd have a spot at either one. Talk about putting me at ease that our plans didn't have to be canceled. Wow sooo glad we got on the 8 pm tour. Matt the undertaker was our "Ghosty Hosty". He apparently has been doing ghost tours for 17 years and he is definitely passionate about the after life stories surrounding St. Augustine and enjoys sharing with all ages the history of the town. He kept the content G rated as there were families with young children. This definitely is a tour suitable for all ages. This guy even fits the part of an "undertaker " with his tall hat and lantern ..creepy in a good way... he was very concerned with our safety and he and his lantern acted as a crossing guard the entire evening.
As I saw other tours around and listened to the guides , I was assured by what I was hearing, that after all these years, this tour is still number #1 in my books and my friend thoroughly enjoyed her first ghost tour and I'm sure highly recommends it to others. Thank you Lisa, Matt and Ghostly Encounters for not making our visit a total washout because of the weather.
