We went on the creepy crawl haunted pub tour and had a great time! Danny was our tour guide and was very knowledgeable. He told us a lot about the history of the city. We got to use EMF readers throughout the tour as well! It was a fun night and we ended up hanging out with most of our group until like 2am! read more

Horrible ghost tour. We left halfway through. The guide was odd and very boring. Avoid.

We had a great tour with Shawn! He was super knowledgeable, funny and awesome. I would definitely recommend! Thank you Shawn for the great time! read more

My husband and I went on the St. Augustine Pub Crawl. The number of people on this trip varies (the night before us, there were 10+ people on the tour - we ran into two of the past crawlers at a pub during our own tour, who excitedly told us that their tour group had bought 3/4 of a bottle at the final pub - and finished it), and for our night, we ended up being the only two people who signed up. This worried me initially, but this tour ended up being a blast. Lynn, our personal pub history guru, was knowledgeable and a ton of fun. The trip takes you to four (or more - we had an additional stop at a wine tasting area) different pubs (with an included alcoholic beverage at each stop), where your guide tells you a little about the history of St. Augustine and the bar itself. Our own tour ended up turning into an awesome evening of story-swapping with a woman who has done it all in life (dolphin training, Peace Corp, and more). We ended up with a substantial amount of knowledge about St. Augustine's history, but we also got to know Lynn and had a great time out with her on the tour. All in all, I'd say this was our best investment on our trip to St. Augustine. I highly recommend the St. Augustine Pub Crawl! read more

My fiance and I did the food walking tour and it was fantastic. We got a groupon and decided to try the tour while we were in town for a couple of days. It was a fantastic deal and I'd highly suggest it. Even though it was super hot being in July, going from restaurant to restaurant made it bearable. There were six stops total, four restaurants and two food specialty shops. All of them were great places. There was a great mix of history and eating. Our guide Shawna was great. She was extremely knowledgeable about St. Augustine and a joy to walk with. She is obviously a people person and really made this tour. By the end you will definitely be full so do not do this tour right after eating! read more

Murder and Mystery and Mayhem and oh yeah history. How can this tour not be fun?! If the tour guide doesn't play into it, it won't be as entertaining. It's all about the delivery! I've been on tours before and perhaps that had set my expectations a bit too high. The tour I had done before had an enthusiastic guide and lasted a bit longer. This tour was good. But was somewhat short or at least felt that way because the tour lacked flow. I really liked that the guide did not end back were we had started, which was a bit out of the way. I also enjoyed all the historical stories. Additionally, the guide was very nice. However, I personally would have preferred a bit more mayhem or murder or mystery... Our tour had one story to cover all three of those areas. I would probably give it another shot. All and all it was a great walk about town with a local! read more

BORING and BORING!! Gayle? was our tour guide for the ghost tour. Sweet old lady. But, could barely hear her and the stories were drawn out without much substance. Most of them, it seemed were made up about people from the past and not scary at all. When asked which office was Henry Flagler's at the Casa Monica, she didn't even know. Proved she didn't really know what she was talking about. There were some mentioning of ghosts. But, after struggling to stay awake, my wife and I left the group and went to a local bar and heard much more interesting stories about the past in St. Augustine. Only good part was that the Groupon was not at full price. Recommend that if you go, take your No-doze first and just enjoy the hopefully nice evening. read more

This Foodie tour was stellar. Ed was very informative and fun. We had 6 stops and every stop was divine. I would say .... come hungry and block out a nap time after. I will add some photos of food porn. When you call, ask for Suzanne and tell her I sent you! I bought 4 more tickets to come back with my hubby and friends! read more

Walking on the haunted pub crawl...get there early...Yes, it was way too hot to be walking around St. Augustine at night, but our tour guide Zachary made it very informative as we learned the city has a lot of skeletons in its closet, literally. Starting at Al's Pizza (stunning pizza works here) we learned of the immediate history of the grounds and the historic gateway to the city, which was a cemetery. Dispensing electronic gadgets designed to measure changes in the vicinity, Zachary told us what they did in locating ghosts and the differences in hauntings. With more than a few useful stories to contribute, as well as some business commentary too, our guide took us up the road to the Milltop Tavern, then to a cigar bar, and lastly to The Backyard Pub. I thought the tour was too short, but it was informative as well as interesting to see the devices go off every now and then. read more

Be careful to ensure the meeting location on your confirmation is correct. We booked 2 tours with City Walks, and both addresses on both of our confirmations were incorrect. City Walks purchased some tours from another tour group, but not all booking engines had updated their information. We were sent on a goose chase for our first tour, so for the second tour we called ahead and were again told we had the wrong address. As far as the tours go, the Haunted Pub Crawl was really fun, and Mills was a really good guide. The Haunted Walking Tour was pretty lame, and though Will had a lot of information, the delivery was pretty dry and boring. I felt like I was in school. We spent so much time standing around listening to him. I've been on a lot of tours around the country, and for whatever reason I'm still searching for a really good ghost tour in St. Augustine. This just wasn't it...but if you're going to pick one, I'd pick the Haunted Pub Crawl over the Walking Tour simply for more engagement with the same amount of historical information. I think next time around we're going to bite the bullet and spend $80 for a real paranormal tour. read more

My husband and I tried this out while in St. Augustine. We went on a night when a paranormal investigator was with us. Our tour guide and the paranormal investigator were both great and entertaining, I really enjoyed them being our tour guides. It really wasn't that long ago we went (a month ago) but I just can't remember her name. You get a free house beer at Ann O'Malleys or 1 dollar off mixed drinks. We chose Shocktop. A lot of the other places give you discounts on drinks. The stories are good, the places you visit are nice, and it's worth the price. I really enjoyed this and it was a great little vacation-y thing to do. read more

This review is for City Walks "Creepy Crawly Pub Crawl" taken June 2014: The best part about the City Walk Creepy Crawly Pub Crawl was that it got me out of my St. Augustine rut! I tend to have my favorites and *only* go to those selective few places in St. Augustine. As a result, St. Augustine has gotten a little dry because I don't branch out and take a chance to be stimulated by visiting new venues. For instance, I NEVER would have entered The Old Milltop Tavern and seen their charming fairy garden tree house! The Milltop Tavern built their patio around a spindly tree whose branches seemed to want to embrace its visitors while decorated with white Christmas lights. From the bottom level of the patio you have a front row view of the old fort across the street and we were blessed by seeing the fort framed by a rising full moon! The patio has a ladder to climb to the second story and one instantly feels like you're playing in a tree house! There was live music being played on the bottom level AND on the top! I was especially smitten with the acoustic guitarist playing a slow rendition of the theme song to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Our guide was named Mills and he was HILARIOUS! He told a lot of off-the-cuff jokes playing off the interruptions from traffic, the audience, or his coworkers. The FUNNIEST thing he did that night was when he warned us, "If you see someone that's eavesdropping in on our stories, I'm going to start speaking gibberish like another language." Soon enough a couple stopped to eavesdrop and Mills seamlessly began speaking in his "Mandarin Chinese." It was really funny! At one point he started laughing and it was our cue as the audience to respond to his "joke." We all started laughing---which only fueled MORE genuine laughter! The gasoline was soon thrown on our funny bone and we couldn't control our raucous laughter! We just couldn't! It was just the funniest thing ever! Eventually Mills turned to the folks and said that this was a paid tour by City Walks for their "Mandarin" group and if they were interested they too could sign up around the corner. It was probably the best part of the evening. The second stop was Stogies Jazz Club & Cigar Bar. Instead of socializing with the other participants there, we chose to zone out and listen to music outside by the fire-pit and absorb the atmosphere while enjoying a Jeffe Blonde Ale. There was so much GREAT live music on the tour! In fact, the least interesting part of the entire Creepy Crawly Pub Crawl was the supernatural angle. It was all rather forgettable with the "Take a photograph of a dark room and let's see if you see a floating orb" etc. If one is really interested in a GREAT historic tour with a fascinating storyteller, then I highly recommend Sherrif's Ghost Walk Tour. (See my other review.) I MAY have also snuck off from the group to buy a Hyppo pop while we were stopped for a ghost story by one of the houses. (I highly recommend the Horchata Popsicle there!) The last stop on the tour was an Irish Pub RIGHT across Inlet and it was lovely inside. I drank a Honey Whiskey while sitting on the balcony with a big group from our tour. It was nice that by the end of the evening everyone was socializing and paling around together. It's interesting because the Pub Crawl wasn't ANYTHING like I thought it would be. To me it seemed like a tour of little known gems in St. Augustine with fantastic live music you can drink by. It was an especially GREAT deal because we bought a groupon for the tour! I had planned the evening based off a British Pub Crawl. We had dinner first at The King's Head and then went on the Pub Crawl with my family. EVERYBODY had a great time! If you're looking to get out of YOUR St. Augustine rut too, or just want an evening of fun, I highly recommend this tour! read more

We did the pub tour. Alan took us to four spots not on St. George, which was great because we got to see cool places we never would've encountered on our own. Each place had a pretty good selection of craft brew, and Alan was a great tour guide. We made some friends and had some great local craft beer. I highly recommend the Pub tour! read more

Soo..glad..that I bought my tickets at a discount through groupon...because I certainly would have asked for refund...nooo..boo...Borrrringgg! Loved how the guide. .squeezed in you can tip me at the end of her speech. in the beginning after explaining how the tour would go...so quickly it reminded me of commercials when the guy speaks lightening fast! Still trying to figure out why I paid for stopping outside the buildings and getting not..even ghostly stories at all...we jumped ship...the tour and did our exploring Plus side it was a gorgeous evening.. But seriously if your not even going to go more than the sidewalk and the lame stories.with someone who is clearly bored..and no sounds like the poor person in the drive through "want fries with that?"....google..and take your own walking tour..of this great history filled city.. read more

The only good part of our day in St. Augustine. Stephanie was an excellent tour guide for the Haunted/Creepy pub tour. Unlike guides elsewhere, she was both funny and didn't seem to be rehearsed at all - everything felt natural with her. There is one major issue, though: one of the bars was a cigar bar, where you get a free cigar with a beer purchase. Thus, the place smelled absolutely awful and it was hard to breathe. Nowhere was this advertised that we were going to a place with that much smoke. For some people, this means they'd only get to go to three out of the four bars. We went in but couldn't breathe on either floor, instead opting to sweat outside. Good tour, but the potential smoking pub needs to be advertised. read more

The creepy pub crawl was definitely worth the time. Brian was an excellent guide and made the trip worth it. My wife and I have done a few of these tours over the years (in a number of cities) and this was one of the best. read more

We attended the Original "Ghostly Experience" tour recently after purchasing a voucher on Groupon. I'm glad we didn't pay full price - absolutely not worth $20 per person, but it was a decent experience at a reduced cost. The guide was personable and the tour started on time, but we covered very little ground in what I expected to be a city chock full of interesting historical people, events, and places--pirates, executions, sorrowful family situations, old cemeteries... Except for the tales at Flagler College, most of the guide's stories were along the lines of "sometimes you'll see an old man in the bushes if you photograph this building, but nobody knows who he is" and "this one time, my friend heard her bathroom door open and close but nobody was there." Good folks, but would not recommend for anyone looking for truly scary tales or interesting history, and would definitely not suggest attending for the advertised price. read more

We took the Creepy Pub Crawl tour with Brian and it was great! He kept us entertained and laughing throughout the night. His skills for seeking out spirits are unmatched throughout the city. He was also able to offer some tips for the best haunts to frequent in the area, which we greatly appreciated. We stopped at 4 bars throughout the ~2 hour tour and all of them were unique experiences. A special was offered at each stop and there were plenty of options at each venue. There were a few additional stops along the way for some spooky stories. This tour was a fun way to explore St. Augustine and shed a new light on the city that we've visited many times in the past! read more

We went on the pub crawl. We had a small group and some good discussions. We had no snacks as advertised and some of the stops (out of 4) were terrible. read more

This review is for the "Original Ghostly Experience Haunted Tour" with Stuart, aka "Captain". Put simply, this was one of the worst tours we've ever taken. Almost none of what was promised in the tour description was delivered. There was very little talk of ghosts, paranormal activity or haunted history of any kind. Our guide, Stuart, spent most of the evening flirting with a group of women in our tour. Several people defected from the tour along the way, as it was boring, dry, and not what people were there to hear. We essential visited the main sites of St. Augustine (the Plaza, the waterfront, the fort and a cemetery) where Stuart told us what we were looking at, chatted up the ladies, and then we moved on. He also included stories involving cocaine, affairs and his personal conquests over females during his many years. All this, despite the 5 children in our tour group. ("Daddy, what's cocaine?") At the end, he was sure to ask everyone to fill his hat with tips, since he was "working so hard for us". If you're looking for a tour that actually tells historical stories of hauntings or ghosts activity, look elsewhere, or be sure you don't get Stuart/Captain. The lighthouse has an excellent nighttime tour called "Dark of the Moon". It's important to note that City Walks offers many different tours, and has many different tour guides. Your experience will vary immensely depending on what you take and who you get. We've taken other tours with them with better results. read more

I was traveling solo and decided to join this fun group for a nightly activity. The tour guide was dressed up as a pirate and he made sure we were safe along this walking tour. Drivers are crazy out here! I enjoyed listening to his stories. I won't give too much away, but when he was done with a couple of his stories, this one guy almost passed out. Not for the faint of heart. Good history told, not really any ghost stories here, just facts. read more

My wife and I did the creepy crawl. The guide did a very good job and was very informative and polite. This is an excellent way to get around town and hit up a few local pubs. Definitely recommend this for some good fun. read more

I will give it two stars since we bailed after the 1st three stops. It was $15 a person & I thought the title "Haunted Pub Crawl" meant you would be hitting bars till you were crawling back to your hotel, it does not! We had a very nice lady giving the tour but we have been on many of these in the past that all the stories started blending into one another. I & my wife found the 1st bar & lost the tour. read more

My husband and I took the creepy crawl pub tour with our host Ray (we call him Ray J) We started at Al's pizza (didn't eat here but wish we had) and we were given our first drink of the night free. We hung around there until it was time to on the tour. We made several stops along the way (cemetery, the fort, and a few pubs), at each stop we got fun and informational stories. We stayed long enough at each spot to enjoy a drink and look around. Although we never saw any ghosts it was still fun. I would recommend this tour to anyone going to St Augustine read more

Nick frost was the best ghost tour guide ever!!! Made my St. Augustine tour amazing!! Learned so much and had such a blast! Would recommend to anyone looking for a St. Augustine ghost tour the BEST OF THE BEST!!!!! read more

The City Walks tour was a truly awesome way to experience the different culinary options in St Augustine in one day. Our tour guide was Maggie and she was very knowledgable about the area and took us to 9 places where we were able to try different dishes and wine pairings. Awesome excursion for anyone. Would definitely do it again:) read more

Great tour Heidi is a great tour guide. Take lots of pictures you might actually catch something paranormal

We do girls weekend every year and this year we chose to go to St. Aug. We wanted to embrace the culture and do something "haunted" so we chose to do the Haunted Pub Crawl. Dylan was our guide and he was over the top fantastic! You could tell he loved what he did and was patient with our crazy group. By the end of the night we all felt like friends. He truly is an amazing person and guide. If you get a chance to do a tour I'd highly recommend asking for Dylan. read more

We went on the Savory Food Tour, and really liked it. We went to four restaurants, a wine shop, and two specialty shop. Alan provided a lot of history the first half of the trip, which we loved. This is a great way to try those little places that often get overlooked. read more

Wanted to do something different while on vacation, so my girlfriend and I decided to do a ghost tour. Honestly, I don't know if I believe in all that but I do like Halloween, so what the hell? Steph was out tour guide. She was friendly, polite and knew everything you needed to know about the oldest city in America. There are four stops along the tour... to bars, of course. She told us stories of what tragic occurrence happened in the area we were in. I would do it again. read more

A great tour with lots of info and historical facts. The tour guide was very informative and entertaining.

We did the pub crawl with tour guide jay he was awesome! We had a great time and would recommend anyone wanting to have a fun time to do this tour! read more

By far the best,with so many different options.Go see Alice outside Omalleys and book a tour. Btw great website.

My husband and I did the haunted pub crawl. Stephanie was our guide and she was great! We had a small group so we were able to hear more stories. The cigar bar was the creepiest place. Only let down was the special prices were for beer only and not mixed drinks. We still had a great time. Very spooky! read more

Don't miss the creepy crawl pub tour. Our guide Stephanie was great! It took us into a few places we probably wouldn't have explored on our own. There are drink specials at each spot, and some nice ghost stories that weren't too over the top. I would recommend it to anyone. read more

Did the walking tour on our second night in town. Heidi was our guide and she was fantastic. One of the downsides of this tour is the noise associated with walking. In certain areas we couldn't hear her speak. We had a larger crowd, around 25 people. Heidi did her best to make sure everyone could hear her. Another downside is the fact that it seems like every tour tells the same stories. On our walk, we ran into 3 other tours. We will use city walks again for another tour. If you are thinking between trolleys and walking, take a walking. It's much more intimate. read more

During our last week living in FL, my fiancé and I decided to take a mini vaca to St. Augustine and we booked tickets for the Haunted Pub crawl! Our guide was "The Captain," and he was wonderful! We started out with a group of about 15 people party (including a terrible bachelorette party), but by the end of the night we had 6 people (the bachelorette girls got into a fight and left, taking an annoyed couple with them). That's truly my only negative to this. We both really loved our guide and I getting all the old information about the town. With each stop, the bar we went to had specials for our group. I highly recommend the Captain! read more

Delicious food and wine tour!! Maggie was the best tour guide I have had in Florida! She was very funny and thorough. Take the tour and ask for her!! read more

Awesome haunted pub crawl with Brian. Super informative, level you wanting more facts about this old American city. The ghost meters were going off the entire time, solidifying the fact that we were all, in fact, the undead. read more

We went on the Savory Faire tour with Mia as our guide. We had a very small group (just 4 of us total) and we had an absolute blast! The tour guide was funny and friendly and the walk was not bad at all. You get to try out tasty treats from several different places and from what we were told the places and foods change daily. We tried several things that we would never try at home and they were all fantastic! We have been recommending it to everyone and will be back again soon! read more
