My mom, friends, and I went on the Telling Elegies Ghost Tour, and we had a great time! Our guide, Mary, was wonderful—she was so sweet and a great storyteller! She was incredibly caring to all of us and making sure we didn’t need a break to sit down and putting our safety first. She really made the tour enjoyable. If you’re planning to go, just be prepared for some walking and lots of interesting stories. I definitely recommend it, especially if you have Mary as your guide!

Rated G minus
$70 not well spent
This tour should include Barney and Baby Shark..
And because I did not stay on for an hour and a half.. No refund
Very disappointed after seeing on TripAdvisor that it's rated the #1 thing to do!!
Are you kidding me?
Take one of the drive around tours!
Wish I would have

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the tour did not match the experience you were expecting. Telling Elegies is specifically designed as an adults-only walking tour with darker historical subject matter and stories, so we understand that it may not be the right fit for every guest. We also understand your frustration regarding the refund request after leaving the tour early. We appreciate you giving us a try and sharing your perspective.

Value for your money?
This tour is a true one and one half hour long. The stories were interesting and according to our guide true & documented. Our guide spoke clearly with her own little personality traits which always adds a nice touch. The downside was too much walking/lag time between stops/stories. My other point would be they charge more than anyone else does and we have enjoyed a better ghost tour in St Augustine than this one provided.

We’re glad you enjoyed the stories, appreciated that they were based on documented history, and found your guide’s personality engaging. We also appreciate your comments regarding the amount of walking and time between stops.

scammed
the meeting point was vague. No one ever heard of the Telling Elegies Tour. There weren't even tickets to print.
We got scammed.

Nice in theory but our experience was boring
This wasn't a walking ghost tour so much as a standing around listening to approximate history tour. We spent almost 30 minutes (out of 90) at the fort even though the entire group was freezing and miserable in the weather. After that rough start, we went to three more locations before hitting the last three on the same street in the last 15 minutes. It was not scary and actually so boring it felt like being transported back into high school history taught by a substitute teacher. Even those of us who are huge history buffs found it so dry. The guide was constantly confusing names too. We definitely weren't scared and didnt feel like we learned much. In fact, of our group of 6, five of us seriously considered cashing in on their money-back guarantee. Ultimately we decided against it because it may have just been our specific guide. In general, we really appreciated that it was adults only and dog friendly. An earlier start than 930 would've been better though, especially on the weekend when downtown is rowdier than you'd expect for St Augustine.

Entertaining ghost stories.
Dannie (or Donnie not sure) was great. He was a very good storyteller and also very knowledgeable. It was entertaining but it was not as scary or gory as I expected for an adults only tour and maybe could have used a couple more ghost stories. Otherwise, very good.

Uhhhhgg
The tour wasn’t as described…adult only…two young teen girls. Ethan started enthusiastic at the castle and the story of Doris and Manuel was great! After that I don’t know what happened. We started as a group of 16, after we left the first cemetery, we lost 6. By the end of the tour there was six. He walked very fast, seemed to loose interest in the remaining party and he was hard to hear. The stories were really good but appropriate for a younger crowd…We felt bad because everyone just dropped off the tour…but, we even felt dismissed at the end of the tour…we would not do this tour again.

Felt cheated on this tour
Three complaints. 1) We got there about 5 minutes before 9:30pm (it was supposed to start at 9:30pm) and the tour guide had already started! When we asked her what time it started, she said oh she thought everyone was there. She did not start over with the first story, so we did not get the full story for the first one. 2) The tour ended after 45min, when this site says it was supposed to be 90min. 3) I see photos of the cemetery and some other places that we did not visit during our tour. Had it been the full 90min, then I'm assuming we would have seen all of that. Needless to say, we felt cheated

Bad from Hello! When we...
Bad from Hello! When we arrived our guide was informative on how he was leaving the company and very negative . The tour he did had nothing of what was expected in the advertisement given . It was hands down the worse tour we have ever done . I was totally embarrassed after the tour because we had met friends there and wanted to have a great experience and it was nothing of the kind. I feel like we should get a complete refund due to his unprofessional acts and comments .
