Adults who want drinks with their stories book Spirits with the Spirits, the one crawl whose fare includes them, and the ghost hunts are the only tours built around investigating rather than listening.

What Each Of The St. Augustine Ghost Tours Includes

Every tour on this page comes with a live guide and free cancellation. The shortest runs a single hour, the longest two and a half. Both pub crawls run two hours. The trolley ride runs an hour and twenty minutes, and prices sit on the live booking page for each tour.

What Makes St. Augustine Worth A Ghost Tour

St. Augustine is the oldest continuously inhabited European-founded city in the US. The Castillo de San Marcos still faces the bay. Stories collect around the Old Jail and the lighthouse, and the walks here work the historic district after dark. Operators here mix documented history with their own haunting claims.

When To Take St. Augustine Ghost Tours

Every tour here runs after dark, from the one-hour Watchtower walk to the two-and-a-half-hour Horrible Hauntings route. Fall brings the biggest demand. Summer storms sometimes force a cancellation, and each live listing posts current days and start times.

The Haunted Sites St. Augustine Ghost Tours Visit

Eleven tours fill this comparison, and a short list of places sits behind most of their stories. Walking routes work the historic downtown district, where the Castillo de San Marcos and the Old Jail anchor the city's darker history. One ghost hunt claims the Dixie House by name. Pub crawls pull up stools at Scarlett O'Hara's, St. George Tavern and O.C. White's.

Where St. Augustine Ghost Tours Start: Map

Meeting points cluster in the brick and coquina lanes off St. George Street. The Ghost City crawl gathers near 36 Charlotte Street at Stogie's Jazz Club for a roughly 9 pm start. The Dixie House investigation, as its name promises, meets at the house itself. Exact addresses and arrival windows are on each live listing.

Where the day starts, and the 16 mapped points around it A true-scale plot of 17 real coordinates read from OpenStreetMap, north upwards. St. Augustine Historic District is the ringed point. Every other point is one mapped place, coloured by which set it belongs to and numbered to match the cards below. The grid squares are 1.0 km across. Eight points sit within a few metres of a neighbour, so they have been nudged apart just far enough to stay readable. A dashed line runs back to the true position. Distances on the cards are straight-line figures between the mapped coordinates, not road distances and not walking times. 12 St George St, mapped point 11 Spanish Military Hospital Museum, Aviles St, mapped point 22 Heritage Walk Mall, St George St, mapped point 33 Dixie House corner, S Dixie Hwy, mapped point 44 Constitution Plaza, Charlotte St, mapped point 55 Old City House Inn, Cordova St, mapped point 66 Lightner Museum parking lot, Granada St, mapped point 77 San Marco Welcome Center, mapped point 88 Stogies Jazz Club, Charlotte St, mapped point 99 Huguenot Cemetery, mapped point 1010 Tolomato Cemetery, mapped point 1111 Bridge of Lions, mapped point 1212 Castillo de San Marcos, mapped point 1313 St. Augustine Lighthouse & Maritime Museum, mapped point 1414 St. Augustine Old Jail, mapped point 1515 Plaza de la Constitucion, mapped point 1616 St. Augustine Historic District

“There is a bit of walking, but very doable. Miss Sadie is an excellent storyteller and weaves a lot of interesting local tales into her tour. You can tell she is a keen student of Saint Augustine history and has done a lot of research over the years and is highly knowledgeable about the area. We thoroughly enjoyed her tour!”

Nikki_F, operator-listing review of 1.5-Hour Haunted Stroll

“Wes was very informative and we learned a lot about St Augustine, we had a great time. Wonderful family event with our college aged kiddos. Fun way to spend the evening after dinner”

Adriana_S, operator-listing review of 1.5-Hour Haunted Stroll

“Very informative. Fun and spooky. We loved Garry!! Your family will enjoy. Learned things I didn’t know even after visiting St Augustine many times.”

Jo_J, operator-listing review of Golf Cart Ghost Tour

“Great experience with super knowledgeable guide! Bob did so great at giving us so much information yet stopping and giving us time to get off the cart and feel the space out!”

Amanda_D, operator-listing review of Golf Cart Ghost Tour

“Family friendly ghost tour and was also interactive which we didn’t realize when we booked. You get to go inside potters wax museum, the old jail, outside the cemetery and the actual trolley ride. My kids really liked the tour and didn’t find it too scary. Alastor and Chuckles were great tour guides and really made it fun and (good) scary at the same time.”

Lauren_S, operator-listing review of Open-Air Haunted Trolley

“This was a fun ghost tour with a great blend of History, myths, and personal experiences mixed in. The ghost host (Thomas) was really good, and lovely, as was our driver (Elvira) and our Old Jail inmate, "Charlie" (played by Tim). If anything, we wished the tour would last another 30mins or so with another stop or two. Well worth the money.”

Samantha_K, operator-listing review of Open-Air Haunted Trolley

“it was very informative and the guide was very knowledgeable!”

Nancy, United States, operator-listing review of Ghost City Pub Crawl
