Fabulous Historical Information and Storytelling

5.00The tour was excellent. Our guide introduced herself at the beginning of the tour. I am sorry I forgot her name, likely because about halfway through the tour, at our "break in the action at a local shop", the worker there referred to her as Ruby. From then forward, I only knew her as Ruby! Ruby was incredible. She had energy, enthusiasm, and incredible storytelling skills. It was supposed to be a two hour tour but Ruby kept going. It went the better part of three hours, I think. Ruby took us to 5-7 (I didn't keep track) different stops and told long form stories at each stop, providing historical information about the building or the space and the role of ghostly spirits that some believe still exist today. If you want a little freakiness, check out my attached photos. I found the one that is just a bunch of squiggly lines in my Google Photos the morning after the tour. I have no idea where that came from. Ruby might tell you she knows!
Amazing tour !

5.00While in Charlotte Amalie, Saint Thomas for the day we wanted to do something different so we picked The Haunted Historical Walking Ghost Tour and it did not disappoint! It's truly a unique experience. Ruvinia (Ruby) was our guide and she was so delightful, funny and knowledgeable about the local folklore. Her passion when she speaks of her native land shows in her storytelling, she made the stories come alive and was so entertaining. We were even given EMF detectors to see if any spirits were present. Ours spiked a few times and it seriously gave us goosebumps! We highly recommend this walking tour for an exciting and interesting day out!
Great way to learn about st Thomas

5.00We enjoyed the tour with Ruvinia as she was a delightful guide. She was funny, engaging, and very friendly. Her ghost and Jumbie stories were entertaining, and learning about the history of the area was an added benefit. Her local recommendations between stops were also welcome and helpful.
Awesome tour!

5.00This tour is chock full of fascinating stories and visits multiple locations, from creepy old buildings to very nice boutique hotels. It seemed our wonderful tour guide, Ashlyn, was never short on tales of hauntings and the general fascinating history of the area. In fact, if history is one of your interests (as it is with me) all of the stories come with a great history background to them—the pirates, the notorious Fort Christian, tales of black magic, etc. If there’s anyone in your group that doesn’t believe in the paranormal, bring them along anyway because they’ll get some great history lessons. There was even a little break for cocktails (or a “mocktail” in my case). Highly recommended!
Fun and Informative

5.00This was the highlight of our trip! Ruvinia was amazing. We booked during slow season here in STT so it ended up just being us which was totally fine. We learned a lot of amazing history. We did also go on a Monday so hotel 1829 was closed and they had a private party when we tried to go back later so we missed out on that but that’s okay. Every other stop was still worth the adventure.
Unforgettable Ghost Tour in St. Thomas

5.00We visited St. Thomas during the off-season, so it ended up being just myself, my husband, and our two friends on the tour—which made it feel even more special. Our guide, Ruvinia, was absolutely amazing. She captivated us with her retellings of local folklore, sharing stories about jumbies, a wayward voodoo priestess, and even personal experiences involving her grandmother. One of my favorite parts was when she gave us frequency detectors to gauge the jumbies in the area—it was so cool to see how they reacted to her stories! Her sweet and bubbly personality drew us in right away, and she kept us fully engaged the entire evening. We laughed, we listened intently, and we walked away with a deeper appreciation for the island’s history and culture. Thank you, Ruvinia, for such a memorable experience! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting St. Thomas.
