St. Augustine is the oldest continuously established European community in America. An abundance of history means loads of stories of ghosts famous both during their life or after their death. Hear all of the spooky stories that make the town famous while you stroll along the water in this beautiful small town at dusk to get a feel for the history and beauty that surrounds St. Augustine. Remember to bring your camera!! If you are lucky you may pick up on some of the spooky ‘energy’ permeating through the town.
The ghost tour is offered as an optional excursion on Contiki USA Tours visiting St Augustine, Florida.
On a Grand Southern/Eastern Discovery you’ll probably be wishing you had more time in St Augustine because it’s a beautiful city right on the water. The best way to maximize your time is to go on the ghost tour. In addition to being one of the most haunted cities in the country, St. Augustine has a rich history that includes several attacks on the city by Pirates. The ghost tour is a great way to see the city at night, learn a little bit about the oldest city in the USA and participate in some cheap entertainment for the night. The ghost tour is meant to be entertaining rather than scary – for around $7 it’s a good value for the night.
