Highlights

Step into the shadows of America’s oldest city on a spine-tingling adults-only ghost tour through haunted St. Augustine. This isn’t your typical history lesson—this is the dark side of paradise, where whispers of murder, madness, and mayhem echo through centuries-old streets. Led by an expert storyteller, you’ll journey through eerie alleyways and forgotten corners, uncovering chilling tales too twisted for daytime tours. Ghostly echoes of long-dead pirates, prisoners, and lovers. These aren't just legends—they’re the real stories that locals whisper about after dark. Our tour brings you up close to some of the city’s most haunted landmarks—no jump scares, just raw, unnerving history that clings to the cobblestones. Whether you're a skeptic or a true believer, you’ll feel the chill as you walk in the footsteps of the dead. Mature themes, vivid storytelling, and an atmosphere charged with the unknown make this a ghost tour you won’t forget.

About St Augustine

St Augustine is a Florida town on the Atlantic coast, founded by the Spanish in 1565, with a coquina fort, narrow streets and Victorian-era hotels.

St Augustine was founded by the Spanish in 1565 and is the oldest continuously occupied European-founded settlement in the continental United States. The Castillo de San Marcos, a fort of pale coquina shell stone built by the Spanish between 1672 and 1695, guards the waterfront. The Spanish Quarter, pedestrian St George Street and the cathedral basilica sit within a few blocks, and the Bridge of Lions crosses to Anastasia Island.
