We decided to do a ghost tour on Halloween, we went with the walking tour we thought it was Lame, we saw 3 "actors " playing people from the past and had no real encounters, we were near the 2 large cemetaries , saw nothing, my husband was very disappointed. Willnever go with this group again.

I can't wait to go back

I love St. Augustine. It was so much fun. To actually find ghost you have to do it alone, no tours. The Tours are a great way to get a little information on the city. The ghost tours I would recommed is Ghost of the mantazas..Ghost and gravestones..and atleast one walking tour. Mind you these tours are not to find the ghosts just to learn about ...

GhoSt Augustine....Awesome!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/04/09
The GhoSt Augustine Hearse Ride Tour was an excellent experience. I have never had an interest in ghosts before this. We rode along the back streets of the town to some of the most haunted inns and houses. Our tour guide, Bruce, was extremely informative and had some great personal stories of when he stayed in these places. The night was capped ...
All of the stories are based on real events, so all the history honestly makes this tour spooky. It was so much fun we will probably do it again next time we visit St. Augustine!
I love ghost stories and some sent some shiver down my spine, if you are looking for actual ghost then this may not be for you, but if you just want a good time and some good stories then I highly recommend this!!!!
I have taken this tour a couple times. I have read the reviews here and felt the need to remind users that these ghost tours are more for entertainment than for actual ghost hunting. If you are looking for more of a "Ghost Hunters" type of tour, I recommend the scientific tour that starts at the coffee house on Charlotte Street. Otherwise, the more mainstream tours offer a theatrical, yet historically accurate storytelling.
I myself did not go on any of the ghost tours because of some of the other reviews i had seen prior to my trip and i really dodged a bullet. Every ghost tour group i passed while on the Old Town Trolley (which i recommend) seemed more interested in the trolley than the ghost tour. It didnt matter what company gave the tour they were all pretty much the same. Dont waste your money or time, there are better things to do
We went in early January and we were really disappointed. We did the trolley tour and our tour guide was really over the top. She tried way to hard to prove that there was something paranormal in all the places. I don't think I will try any of their other tours

Waste of money
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/25/09
I would highly suggest not wasting your money on "a ghostly experience" our guide Patricia was incredibly cheesy and there was absolutely nothing spooky about the tour. The stories were laughable and we didn't go anywhere worth mentioning. Visiting the cemetaries consisted of us peeking over the fence instead of actually walking through. Then our guide had the nerve to ask for tips at the end! Stay away from this one.
