A Worthy and Memorable Experience in St. Augustine, Florida

Natalie_W, Sep 2023

We were all quoted engaged listening to and learning about the different locations and the explanation of paranormal events. The guide was thorough and eloquent in his presentation. The guide actually infuses technology and humor, too, combining detailed information from history and past participants tours. This particular tour of haunted sites has been so worthwhile based upon the presenter and his knowledge of St. Augustine, Florida.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Thank you so much!

Entertaining haunted walking tour

erica_b, Jul 2023

It was just my husband and I for the tour. Ephraim was very knowledgeable about the history and ghost tales. He was entertaining and we didn't notice how much we actually walked. Loved the tour. We even had drinks at one of the haunted places after the tour.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you!

So much fun

Good, inexpensive historical stroll

Wendy_S, Mar 2023

While not super scary, Ephraim gave some interesting historical details about the St. Augustine area. You can tell he has a a “teaching spirit!” Even my husband and daughter enjoyed it.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Thank you!

Definitely would recommend!!

sally_s, Feb 2023

Guide was very informative and knew alot about the city. The tour isn't too spooky but is more about the background history of the city. My husband and I loved this tour and want to experience another tour from this company.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Thank you!

Excellent Historical Tour...but Manage Your Expectations

Victoria_E, Feb 2023

This was an excellent historical spooky tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable in the town, its history and evolution, and the local haunts. However, I caveat this review by saying that if you're looking for theatrics or wild stories like you find in New Orleans, this is not that tour. It is excellent for what it provides. Family friendly.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Thank you so much!

Had a GREAT time! Worth EVERY penny!

Jennifer_H, Jan 2023

Right after the conclusion of the holidays, my boyfriend and I took the evening walking tour with Ephraim. We chose his tour because it had overwhelmingly positive reviews, it was "off the beaten path" (not the same tour stops as most of the others) and close to our B&B in the oldest part of the historic area. It was a perfect evening weather-wise, and as it turned out, we were his only two guests - a private tour! True to the reviews of others, Ephraim was a wealth of St. Augustine history and great ghost/haunting stories. We stopped at both private homes and businesses along the way, and the quiet, balmy evening lent itself to the proper atmosphere of a ghost tour. I decided to snap cell-phone pictures at most of the stops, and the photo posted here was one of several I took at the Kirby-Smith house. I didn't look at the pictures until later in the evening. Right away I noticed the dark figure in the lower left quadrant. Creepy! I sent it to Ephraim, who suspected it was a paranormal anomaly of some kind. He confirmed his suspicions with other tour guides - I'd caught a shadow figure! So, if you're a lover of ghost tours - or are skeptical of them - take this tour! You won't be disappointed. It's a great value, and Ephraim is the perfect host - gracious, entertaining, but not kitschy - and a wonderful source of historical St. Augustine history. He'll not only regale you with ghost stories, but show you photographic evidence! Thanks, Ephraim, for a fantastic time!

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Loved having you! Great job with the photo as well.

5 Stars!

Leah_s, Dec 2022
