Great experience on the Ghost Encounters Walking Tour in St. Augustine! - My son and I recently visited St. Augustine. Even though we are both Florida natives and have been to St. Augustine numerous times, this was the first time doing the Ghost Encounters Walking Tour. It was awesome!! The "Sheriff" was our guide. The historical aspect was amazing. I heard stories about St. Augustine I never knew before. A few places were a bit "unsettling", in other words, the two cemeteries. In fact, I even got a photo, which looked a bit paranormal!I highly recommend this tour at night!
Check out the photo at the cemetery. Even though the pic is blurry, look in the lower left. Do you see anything? This was the gravesite of a 5 year old boy who fell to his death from a tree in the cemetery!

Entertaining and informative history and ghost walk. - We are a family with tweens and had a great tour experience with Hippie. Loved the all the ghost stories intertwined with St. Augustine history, the breakdown of different types of ghosts, and Hippie was entertaining, informative, and knowledgeable. All of this was in the twilight walking with the backdrop of the castle and old streets was almost magical. Definitely recommend!

A Ghostly Adventure Under the Moon’s Glare! - In St. Augustine, where the moonbeams gleam,
A ghostly encounter is like a dream!
The Ghost Tour beckons with tales so bright,
A spectral adventure that feels just right.
With guides who spin stories from days of yore,
You’ll wander through history, craving more.
In cobblestone streets and shadows that sway,
You’ll meet the spirits who have come to play.
Each step reveals whispers of old,
Of phantoms and mysteries, daring and bold.
Through ancient alleys and haunted sites,
You’ll be enchanted by the ghostly lights.
From haunted inns to ghostly beams,
The tour’s filled with specters and eerie dreams.
The tales will make you shiver with delight,
In the glow of the moon on a haunting night.
Whether you’re a skeptic or a ghostly fan,
This tour will enchant, that’s the plan!
With laughter and chills in the cool night air,
You’ll end the tour with a spectral flair.
So if you’re up for thrills that give you a cheer,
Join the Ghostly Encounter and give a loud cheer!
For St. Augustine’s ghosts and tales so grand,
Will make this adventure perfectly planned!

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.

Enjoyable tour - We enjoyed the historical narrative that our guide gave. The stories she told were interesting. The time of day we went was ideal, which was 8 PM.
