Ghost Tour of St. Augustine (Original Haunted History Tour): Reviews, Prices & What to Expect

St. Augustine is the oldest city in the U.S., and it’s known as one of the most haunted. This tour takes a history-first approach: guides teach you how paranormal investigators use their equipment, share their own experiences and debunk the stories that have no basis in fact.

What People Love

• Guides who know their stuff. Reviewers say the guides blend real history with ghost stories instead of just going for cheap scares.
• Hands-on ghost hunting. You learn the devices and techniques investigators use, so bring a charged phone for photos.
• Good for families. It’s a walking tour that works for kids and adults (child tickets cover ages 5 to 12).

Heads Up

It’s a walking tour with groups of up to 25, so on busy October nights it can feel crowded and harder to hear at the back. Wear comfortable shoes and stay near the guide.

What to Expect

• Length: about 90 minutes on foot.
• Meeting spot: 10 S Castillo Dr, near the Visitor Information Center. Look for the purple lantern.
• Stops can include: the Huguenot and Tolomato cemeteries, the old city gates and the Castillo de San Marcos.
• Included: a free Spyglass ghost map of St. Augustine.

Good to Know Before You Book
