Amazing!! - Wendy was an absolutely exceptional guide and possessed an absolute wealth of information concerning the rich and somewhat dark history of St Augustine. We cannot recommend Wendy and this tour enough! Outstanding!

100% recommend - My 17 year old and her boyfriend went on this tour. They came back full of smiles telling us how amazing it was. Those two are tough critics. So if they enjoyed it that much it must be nothing short of amazing. So based on their review back to us I am highly recommending the tour.

We took a “Chance” on this tour! - My wife and took our 9 & 11 y/o granddaughters on this tour. All of us had a great time. Our tour guide was named "Chance" and he really knew his haunted history as well as St. Augustine history in general. He is a very good speaker and communicator. We definitely recommend this tour and Chance.

Really nice experience - The tour was a really nice experience from start to finish. It looked like it was going to rain so they called and gave us options on whether we wanted to wait it out or choose another time. I got a lot of information from the tour and our guide was lovely and knew her stuff!

Dion and his amazing storytelling is back and better than ever! - Wow- Dion is back and better than ever! I cannot recommend this ghost tour enough. We took our 8 year old and we all loved Dion’s storytelling. We have been on ghost tours in Savannah and Salem, MA- and Dion made this our favorite ghost tour! Excellent stories, good pacing, opportunities for potentially creepy photos, and surprise snacks! Afterwards, our 8 year old was given Dion’s rookie wrestling card and even signed it! So cool- overall, a night we will all remember forever.
