This was our 3rd time to take this Ghosts & Gravestone Tour. It didn't seem to be as in-depth and interesting as the first two times. It wasn't that we had seen the tour already. We take nieces/nephews on the tour when they turn 13. She happened to be 16, took too long to get her to St. Augustine. That being said it was still worth the time. read more

Our tour guide, Luna was fantastic! Would recommend if you're in the St. Augustine area!!

My husband and I came in from Tampa to st Augustine! It was a long and awaited trip we both have been wanting to take! I booked the tour with ghosts and gravestones! We enjoyed everything about it. Cassandra was our tour guide, she was awesome! The stories she told were good and spooky. She knew a good amount of history and is an excellent tour guide. We enjoyed going around and seeing the different spots of the beautiful town. I just wish the tour was a little longer so we could spend more time at each spot, other than that it was perfect. read more

Our guide, Liotta, our driver, Dangerous Deb, The Executioner, and "Charlie" were great. The stories and the details of the stories were good. However, my group all agreed that there was something missing to really give it a 5 star rating. The tour is very kid friendly so maybe a real "scare" factor is what's missing from the tour. My group had a great time, but just walked away wanting a little more scare/uneasiness. read more

spectacular tour, Thomas and Jake the trolley driver they are amazing! I recommend the entire tour, I will definit repeat the experience!

It was cute. I mean, if you're wanting to get scared, this probably isn't the tour for you. If you're tired of walking all day, then maybe. It was like a drive by crash course of information. We got down 2 times. One, at a graveyard, but only on the platform, by a restaurant we ate at earlier that day. Haha sooooo, besides the leaf that fell fast on me as I was taking a pic ... no scares there. Haha And then, a stop at the wax museum. But it was just the entrance room, a dark hallway, and a story room. The scariest was the hallway, because my friends are crazy. Mystery taps. Haha Maybe it could be fun for the kids, if you don't want too much of a fright. Thanks! read more

We had a frightfully fun time on the Ghosts & Gravestones Tour. Our guide was very entertaining. I enjoyed her stories. We went to the Potters Wax Museum and had some spooky tales while inside. The Old Jail was really spooky at night and learned some great history about the town. I recommend taking the trip. read more

A fun and entertaining tour... As fun and as entertaining as it was, I was expecting a bit more, but at an hour runtime they squeezed in what they could. A bus tour packed full with patrons, they take you around town telling a few scaring stories along with a couple of stops where some actors do a good job telling additional stories from the stops we made. If you've never done it, it's well worth a try... read more

I've now done this tour twice and I'm honestly shocked that people have found anything to complain about. It's cheap. The parking is great. They have access to an actual wax museum and legitimate historical jail. What's not to love? The storytelling and character actors add so much to this. It's truly one of the best things to do in St. Augustine. read more

What a wonderful time! Our mystical guide Cassandra was very knowledgeable and made the tour very interesting. Amanda was spot on as the terrifying inmate. Highly recommend this tour. It was great fun! read more

I wasn't terribly intrigued by this tour. We sat on a bus, heard some stories and got out a couple times. But didn't see anything much. I was glad that they accommodated my request to sit in a seat alone since I was flying solo that evening. Sierra and Sharkey were our story teller and driver for the night. They were nice, but it just wasn't exciting or scary in any sense. The ride was nice, it was breezy, it was fun to get around the town some. But overall, I would recommend other similar tours. read more

A really fun thing to do in St. Augustine! Looking for a little "boo" with lots of history? Here ya go. Jump on their bus, jump off at a grave yard, listen to the history and gaze at the graves that hold the spirits of the past. Next tour the oldest pharmacy, then hear tales of bootlegging gone bad, while on to the Old Jail. Once inside the Old Jail, you are treated to a Birds Eye view of what prisoners faces on death row. Out back, more tales of the gallows gone bad. It was a fun evening with nice bus driver & excellent tour guide! I would recommend walking shoes as you will be walking in the dark on uneven surfaces and up and down stairs. I would also take a water with you as they don't offer any along the tour & weather was hot and humid. read more

A bunch of theatre kids performing, didn't learn a single thing from this tour. I paid $40 for a sleepy bus ride.

I love ghost stories and tours and I have never been on this line of ghost tour so naturally, I was very excited! However, this tour was very disappointing. First off, our tour guide, I believe Michael (?) he tried so hard to sound enthusiastic and engaging but I could tell he has told these stories so many times that he was bored with this job. I liked how we got to go into the drug store and wax museum but the stories were weak, boring and not scary or freaky or spooky one bit. Let's say that I will not be scared to sleep or walk around at night. I feel like a lot of the stories were similar to what the Trolley tour guides told us briefly but this tour just elaborated the story more and tried to make it creepy but it didn't work. Overall, nice effort but I will not be recommending this ghost tour. Next time, I will engage in a walking ghost tour. I did also email the customer service because apparently they have a 100% customer satisfaction rate and I definitely wasn't satisfied with how much I paid for it. read more

Toys was so much fun. I actually jumped several times..surprises you aren't expecting. Serci was amazing as the ghost guide, Tammy was very good as jail inmate! I highly recommend this tour...go at night. It makes it much spookier. read more

We had a great time on this tour! If you can manage to swing it, get Dana for your tour guide and/or Chuckles as your driver, they were amazing, giving us plenty of history, spooky vibes, and really showing passion in their roles. The actors at the two stops were great too. If you or younger people don't do spooky stuff well, consider one of the tours during the evening when the sun is still out so you get the opportunity to hear about all the departed residents in St. Augustine! read more

Taking the tour at night makes this all worthwhile, as you do a lot in a couple of hours you spend going around the historical district of St. Augustine between the Potter Wax Museum, one of the graveyards, and the Old Jail Museum. Starting at the visitor's center, where the tour begins, you are taken to wait inside this spooky library, with various equipment, lighting, and background music to enhance the experience before you go on the Victorian-like trolley for the tour. At night, the stops you make add a ghost-like element to the tour, which you will not receive otherwise. The Potter Wax Museum gave a spooky element with the stop culminating in the "torture" part of the exhibit where they did a mock execution with a performer playing the part of the executioner. My favorite part was when we went to the old jail, and an actor played one of the former (dead) prisoners who gave us a tour of the jail and described its history -- especially the gallows part. A fun tour to take part in if you're into haunted and scary things for sure. Even if it doesn't satisfy the fright, depending on how high your tolerance is, it's still worth checking out, whether it's your first time in St. Augustine or it's a return trip. read more

A trip to St. Augustine is not complete without a Ghost Tour and Ghosts and Gravestones delivers. Your hour and twenty minute motorized tour takes you to several of the towns more haunted buildings and cemeteries. Our story telling guide Thomas, driver "Dangerous Deb", and the two actors who bring "haunted" to life were all EXCELLENT! The Ghosts and Gravestones tour is for the whole family! Hint: Get tickets during the day. You'll have several "tour times" to select from. read more

It was amazing and I had such a great time. Our co host Cassandra was just so amazing. And everyone was just so entertaining and I loved it so much I would totally recommend to go!! read more

Worst $100 we have ever spent. This was my first time in St. Augustine and I was looking forward to exploring the ghost stories of the city. When we went to purchase our tickets, the tour was talked up "there will be live actors, you'll go on a tour of the the Wax Museum and the Old Jail, etc".. this is not what happened. We showed up 15 minutes early like directed and were ushered into this small room that had a bunch of old "paranormal" memorabilia (this was probably the best part). My husband and I were sitting on a bench in the corner and the guide (Morana) walked up to us and didn't even said anything she just waved as us, so us being polite waved back, then she goes "I need to go there" and pointed to where we were sitting. We laughed it off and got up, she noticed that my husband stood in front of the bookcase next to her knowing that that was the secret exit and said nothing until she pulled the book and let it hit him (which I thought was extremely rude). Now we are on the actual tour... we got off three times (a grave yard, the wax museum, and the jail) the rest of our 80 minute tour was spent on the bus driving around the edge of the city listening the little bits of history about Flagler College and what the people of the city think about it being haunted. If I wanted to drive around in a trolley car and listen to history I would've booked a history tour. The "tour" of the wax museum was walk to the back have a guy pop out and listen to a cheesy story that they tried to make funny. This tour is meant for children and is not worth $100! Side Note: there should be a caution for claustrophobia as the jail is tight and they close you in a jail cell with your whole trolley car. read more

It was a fun tour. The tour starts at a welcome center that has some ghost-centric literature and a pretty standard gift shop selection. Once you check in you are taken to a side room with ghost hunting memorabilia. It was cool. If you are interested. I am. My guide was Devine... I mean she was pretty and well spoken but her name was Devine. We had a small group and she was trapped in a script intended for a larger audience but she handled it well. There were several stops including a cemetery, and two museums where we were joined by other actors. It was the perfect amount of hokey. Overall not a bad way to spend an hour and a half. They apparently also offer an extended ghost hunting session at the old jail. It's right up my alley and I may include it in a future visit. Chuckles was the driver... he didn't hit anything... other than that his role was mostly as scene dressing... not a dig. He did a good job and didn't hit anything. Overall an excellent experience. I don't want to spoil anything but the extra actors were fun also. read more

Did not meet my expectation there was more acting than anything else. Did not like the experience in the jail at all. The actor was shouting the entire time while telling his story. He put the entire group in the jail cells and closed the door. I opened the door. The was no warning about the steps that needed to be climbed for older people. The person I was with did not want to go in the room with the artifacts that was located in the gift shop but she was told she had to go in to catch the trolley. There were steps going down there. I think the experience in the jai is lost with the actors screaming at the people in the jail and the person telling the group when we arrive back to put money in the black hat so we do not bring back a spirit with us is very disrespectful. I would never recommend this tour. read more

Unfortunately not as spooky as I hoped it would be. The only chills I got was from the cooler weather. Definitely not the reason I pissed my pants that night. :P Check out photo for reason. read more

Charlie told the story about the guy who got hanged and asked his wife to bury the boots. When he said the boots were still in the prison, I looked around and he picked on me for looking at his boots. 10/10 experience, Charlie definitely stole Steve's boots read more

I think this is a good tour if you're not up to walking. The person leading the tour was terrific, very theatrical storytelling. She was engaging and the stories were great. The very big downside is they don't really stop anywhere. You're going by a cemetery and they go by so fast you can't even take a picture. The only picture taking you could really do was on the two stops that they make. All and all we enjoyed it but probably would've enjoyed it more walking. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed this Ghost tour experience. This was the first ghost tour that I have taken that uses a trolly. Our tour guide was Madame Ivy, she was a great story teller and she was very enthusiastic and entertaining. It was also cool to go inside a few of the haunted locations and hear the stories where they take place. Highly recommend this company. read more

Few things we wish we knew. 1) This was more of a history tour than a tour about ghost stories. 2) We drove in a circle a few times. Seems they were trying to give narrator more time to speak instead of talking about points of interest. 3) I am not trying to be mean, but the Narrator Ann, she did not have the voice for a ghost tour. She did speak loudly so everyone could hear, so I understand that part, however she was using a microphone on the trolley and had a high squeaky voice which is not spooky or haunted sounding. She needs to use a voice that entices people to listen. Ann was great but her voice was out of place for the tour. 4) It was raining and were told when we bought the tickets that if it started raining the driver would pull the side panels down. However, when we got to the train it had started pouring rain and when we asked to put the sides down, she said, "It's an open air trolley." Finally she put the side down. The towel she was using to wipe the seats was soaking wet, thankfully we had a towel and used it for the seats. 5) At the Old Jail, the narrator played his part well, but I think some folks were uncomfortable with how close he got to them when he was yelling like a prisoner. If they made a few adjustments it would be a great tour. read more

My boyfriend loves ghost tours and wanted to do one during his birthday celebration in St. Augustine. Our friends were also with us in town celebrating their anniversary and were down to go on one. After some research, my friend saw this one is the best rated one it town so we chose it. She booked online and we met at the designated place to begin the tour. I'm not personally a believer of the paranormal, but I still usually like these tours since they show you different areas of the city and often offer some interesting history. Upon check in, we entered a room that had some cool, creepy decor which I loved. They ran through the rules and procedures quickly and then we boarded the trolley. The tour was pretty crowded so I couldn't sit with my boyfriend or friends which kind of sucked, but we were near each other so it wasn't a huge deal. I like that the tour lets you get out at a couple of spots. We got to go inside the Potter's Wax Museum and the Old Jail and walked over near the Tolomato Cemetery which was cool to view at night. The best part of the tour was the hard working guide, Chris, and other actors (Richard and a gentleman whose name I can't remember unfortunately) as well as the drivers. They really put their all into it to try to give everyone a good experience. I didn't feel this tour gave as much info as some of the similar ones I've been on elsewhere though and it was kind of on the silly side in my opinion. It wasn't quite worth the price for me personally. However, if you love ghost stories, or just like the strange, creepy, and historical stuff like I do I think you'd still have a good time. It still a nice ride through a fun city and a cool way to hit up some landmarks. read more

We divided to do this tour from our experience with the one we went to while in Key West. I found this location not as good as the one in Key West but my kids still enjoyed it. Our trolley guide was Ofelia, she was great. Good stories with lots of history. We stopped in at the cemetery, the wax museum, and the old jail. read more

The actors for each piece did a great job. So did our bus tour guide Genie. I would recommend if you want something fun to do in Saint Augustine. read more

1. Tour guide and driver were entertaining. Ruby was very good. Her speaking voice was clear and her jokes were charming. 2. More entertainment/ show than ghost stories/tour. Unlike other ghost tours, where your guide takes you to various places and gives history and some folklore. This tour gives you a play. Which was good. But not what I wanted nor expected. 3. The bus was very cool 4. Perhaps this "tour" should just tout itself as a play about ghosts. I sorta feel ripped off read more

Good story telling at each stop where you see the inside of the wax museum and old jail. The actors inside both locations were in full character acting. Recommend sitting in front of the trolley to get on and off quickly and hear the co-driver more clearly. read more

Well...can't say it was scary but definitely made for some giggles...! and disappointedly after a $70 bill for 3, it was lame at best. Narrators - Our tour narrator, Ghostly Gaby, did a good job, her story telling ways captured her audience & she made the tour enjoyable. So did - the "prisoner ghost" at the jail. He was believable in appearance & a great story teller too. The "executioner" at the Potter's Wax Museum was startling at first since we all thought he was a wax figure; but once he started his script, I thought it would have been best if he had remained a wax figure. Trolley was incredibly hot with a few open windows & a small fan facing the driver & Ghostly Gaby but not enough to make the ride enjoyable on a 90 degree humid Summer night. For that matter, all inside tour destinations were uncomfortably hot & it made the tour unenjoyable. For being the oldest city in Florida with so much history for storytelling about ghosts & graveyards, this tour doesn't remotely deliver what it promises. It only takes you to a few stops with hurried narratives from their storytellers; so hurried, you might as well google the stories or buy the ghost book they intensely push to purchase...not worth the advertisement hype..! read more

Our last day here we said let's try another ghost tour when we looked up the place they were closed because of the hurricane we decided to go do the old jail ourselves after checking out the fountain of youth when we get to the jail we see the ghost tour is back open so we got the ghost tour ticket and they take you to the jail the wax museum and the grave yard . We get to tour on time first stop was the grave yard learned a lot what happened there the next stop was closed because of the hurricane that was the wax museum I think is not right too charge the full $37 s person they should've charge half price since we weren't able to do one stop :/ Didn't see any ghost took pictures nothing the jail was cool . read more

Last night, I had a great tour in St. Augustine. It was part walking and part trolley. Our driver was Dangerous Deb. Our tour guide was the very lovely Morranna. We got to see haunted cemeteries, the wax museum, and the inside of the Old Jail at night. It's definitely worth the money, even though they tried to hang me. Good times! read more

Loved my time here! Such a spooky tour the tour guide we had was amazing, such an angel and deserves a raise read more

I wasn't expecting much, given the other ghost tours I've been on in other old cities, but the Ghosts and Gravestones Tour put on a great show! Darren was a super host, and told the stories in a fun and engaging way. The prison guide was had a terrifying presence, and was the highlight of the tour for me. I recommend this tour for a fun night of history and spooky half truths--though a few parts might be too scary for littles. Oh! And I caught a "ghost" on camera! Woohoo! read more

I was very disappointed with this tour. The guide seemed to be nice and trying hard to keep us entertained. He told us several cheesy ghost stories and even some trivia to kill time while we were stuck in terrible bumper to bumper traffic. The trolley left late as it was delayed by traffic. We did not make one stop or get off of the trolley at any time. We were told a story about each point of interest while slowly driving in front of the "haunted" places. The "windows" were made of soft plastic and it was impossible to get any decent pictures. Especially seeing as we barely even made a complete stop at any of the locations. It was not scary at all and it was barely entertaining. I was expecting to at least get out of the trolley and get a look at the places we were hearing about. An open window for a better view or better picture taking would've also been nice. It was a complete waste of time and money. Would not recommend. Next time I will take a walking tour instead. read more
