Great experience on the Ghost Encounters Walking Tour in St. Augustine! - My son and I recently visited St. Augustine. Even though we are both Florida natives and have been to St. Augustine numerous times, this was the first time doing the Ghost Encounters Walking Tour. It was awesome!! The "Sheriff" was our guide. The historical aspect was amazing. I heard stories about St. Augustine I never knew before. A few places were a bit "unsettling", in other words, the two cemeteries. In fact, I even got a photo, which looked a bit paranormal!I highly recommend this tour at night!
Check out the photo at the cemetery. Even though the pic is blurry, look in the lower left. Do you see anything? This was the gravesite of a 5 year old boy who fell to his death from a tree in the cemetery!

Entertaining and informative history and ghost walk. - We are a family with tweens and had a great tour experience with Hippie. Loved the all the ghost stories intertwined with St. Augustine history, the breakdown of different types of ghosts, and Hippie was entertaining, informative, and knowledgeable. All of this was in the twilight walking with the backdrop of the castle and old streets was almost magical. Definitely recommend!

100% recommend - My 17 year old and her boyfriend went on this tour. They came back full of smiles telling us how amazing it was. Those two are tough critics. So if they enjoyed it that much it must be nothing short of amazing. So based on their review back to us I am highly recommending the tour.

Enjoyable tour - We enjoyed the historical narrative that our guide gave. The stories she told were interesting. The time of day we went was ideal, which was 8 PM.
