Explore St. Augustine after dark on a family-friendly ghost walk through cemeteries, the Old Fort, and the city gates with costumed guides.
“The tour guide Dexter was amazing with his storytelling. However, the tour is not ghostly, it’s mostly about creepy stories of St Augustine. It’s basically a night walking tour around St Augustine’s cemeteries and fort.”

“Displayed and put together well. Not for the faint of heart or squeamish but then again it is a torture museum! LoL!!”
See St. Augustine from the water on a 75-minute narrated cruise with historic sights, dolphin spotting, sunset views, and flexible tour times.
“The boat was so clean and beautiful and the captain and crew were fantastic ! My favorite part was how special the crew made us feel ! We were very impressed with everything !”
Sample St. Augustine’s wine, cocktails, and generous food portions while walking through the city’s oldest streets with a local guide.
“We would not recommend this tour and this is directly because of the tour guide Garry. He made us read an excerpt from a book about him, continued to talk about his 6 wives the entire tour and told us why he didn't deserve his past negative reviews. He ask us to rate him and tour in front of him and asked for a tip. When we didn't tip immediately he called to inform us the he hadn't received a tip yet. The worst part should have been that the historical facts he talked about were incorrect but the worst part was Garry!”
Cruise St. Augustine at sunset past the Castillo, Bridge of Lions, Great Cross, and lighthouse, with live history, wildlife, and an onboard bar.

Walk nearly two miles through St. Augustine with guide Kevin Rose, from the old city gate to Flagler College and Castillo de San Marcos.

Ride St Augustine’s Trolley of the Doomed for cemetery tales, the Old Jail, Potter’s Wax Museum, and spooky city history.
“The trolley was delayed 45 minutes due to traffic; however, the experience was worth the wait. I would recommend that the staff send a text message about delays, since many people rushed over to make their reservations on time.”
See St. Augustine’s 3 million Nights of Lights from a private trolley row with carols, magical glasses, warm cider, and cookies.
“A really fun evening to get the whole group in the Christmas spirit! We took my mom and aunt with us and everyone had a great time. The ride was comfortable and the open air design allowed for a great view of all the Christmas lights high and low, with fun Christmas music playing in the trolley. At the end we were given hot apple cider and sugar cookies, such a treat! Will definitely do this again.”
