Being the highest rated walking ghost tour in St. Augustine, and the fact that it was dog friendly,…read moremy husband, dog,and I decided to check out the Night Watchman Ghost Tour. We gathered at the storefront, and almost immediately my dog started acting confused and scared. He's an 80 lb pitbull, and get doesn't really get scared of anything. At one point, he lept into my husband's arms (a move solely used at the vet's office). As soon as all of the patrons had arrived, Scott, our storyteller, told us about a little ghost girl Lily that lives in that building. She will often play with marbles and a doll in that same room. My husband and I have no doubt that she was petting the dog and that's what freaked him out. It was a great beginning to our ghost tour for sure. Scott then spent the next 2 hours taking us from place to place telling us about ghost encounters in the buildings that we were standing in front of. He was immersed in the history of St Augustine, even being a volunteer archaeologist and helping move parts of history. His storytelling skills were second to none. Even our dog, who had walked ALL day long around St Augustine, stayed close to Scott trying to listen to the stories and was excited as we moved to each place. It was a slow paced tour so you don't have to worry about being physically fit to partake. It was a well-spent 2 hours that my husband and I truly enjoyed. The dog enjoyed it too, except for being petted by the ghost Lily. We highly recommend this tour! Thank you, Scott, for such a fun adventure!

Our guide had extensive knowledge…read moreof St. Augustine from all time periods and has lived in St Augustine and been a guide nearly all his life. His ghost stories were right on par and none of that tacky paranormal equipment or fabricated sightings. We were lucky enough to be the only 2 souls who signed up this particular Thursday. He could have cancelled, rushed through the tour or lost interest due to our group size but this was NOT the case. At one point, we steered questions towards the general history of St Augustine and there wasn't a single question he could not answer! I would highly recommend this tour to everyone, family or just adults.

I asked about pricing, without looking up she told me to look behind her at the posters (which I was doing- there is no pricing listed there). When I asked if there was a possibility of interpreters for ASL (with 2 weeks notice) she said it would have to be a paying guest that we provide. This is illegal and against ADA code. This is the oldest city in America with a Deaf school; it is unacceptable to be rude to deaf people. I'd suggest doing anything else with your time.

We had a private ghost tour with Kendall, and she was absolutely fantastic. She is very…read moreknowledgeable and gave us a wonderful tour of the city, sharing its rich cultural history along the way. The ghost tour was especially amazing--she even gave my son a small device to help detect ghost activity, which made the experience extra fun for him. She also showed him an app where he could see and track ghost activity, which was really interesting (and a little eerie!). We stopped at several locations to admire the beautiful architecture of churches and historic buildings. Kendall is a true storyteller--she really gets into character and even dresses the part, which made everything feel more immersive. She added humor with some great puns, and we found ourselves laughing and enjoying every moment. One of the highlights was standing in a courtyard using a handheld device where we could hear what seemed like ghostly responses. It even answered my question when I asked its name--very eerie and unforgettable! Whether you believe in ghosts or not, learning about the darker, ghostly side of Saint Augustine made for a perfect evening. I've always wanted to experience something like this, and I'm so glad we booked it, even last minute. You won't regret it--but be sure to ask for Kendall... or you might! Sidenote -This is a golfcart tour, great for those who can't get around and you actually get to see more of Saint Augustine.

Walking tour operator…read more I took the opportunity to join my kids school trip to St. Augustine as a chaperone and as part of that, the school engaged Ancient City Tours as our guide for the day. The guide we had was Matt. Matt with the hat to be exact- because, you guessed it, he wore a hat. Easy to find if you were lagging behind - and easy to remember. Matt and his Hat made the day memorable- he certainly knew a lot of the St. Augustine history and was able to keep all the group engaged- kids, adults and even the teachers. He was super flexible with our group and overall, he made the day much better than I could have done on my own. Shout out to Matt and the Ancient City Tours team.

Our guide, Chance, was knowledgeable, fun, and engaging. He took time to find out what we were most interested in to make sure to point out relevant locations and share poignant facts. The tour was well-paced and Chance was incredibly considerate about finding us shady spots during the outdoor talking stops on the tour (it was quite a hot day, even for Florida). The food and wine stops were all impeccable; the food portions and wine pours were generous and everything was absolutely delicious. The dining stops were also a great break from the heat - each stop lasted enough time to savor the food and wine and enjoy the air conditioning. We appreciated that the tour was at 2 pm rather than a peak time for restaurants; the stops were not super busy or noisy which made for a very pleasant experience. This is an interesting and fun way to learn about St. Augustine's history and present food scene. We highly recommend St. Augustine City Walks.

We did the Spirit and Spirits ghost tour Valentine's weekend. It was a lot of fun and our your…read moreguide was very knowledgeable and funny. There were about 5 couples all together on the tour. We stopped at three different bars and explored some different areas all within walking distance. The first place was beer only, so my significant other got a free drink since the tour guide bought everyone's first round. The next place we ordered shots and the third place, Stogies, we didn't drink. The first distillery, was very large and you were able to see the machines in the back. The restroom was clean but had minimal waiting space. We only had a few hecklers outside the tour, but we ignored them and made jokes about it since they were pretty wasted. We learned different stories in the area including burial spots. The bars were pretty packed so we did what we could to avoid others and be too close. I happened to catch some orbs in some photos I took which was really cool. Stogies was the most interesting. The guide told us about Annie, who used to own the building. He explained townspeople didn't like her and she was found murdered on her own door step. So she's been called a malevolent spirit. That the bar staff close in pairs and she's injured other staff before. We also took pictures upstairs too. All in all it was a good trip and good price. Only 25 per person. Would definitely do again.
