Awesome tour

5.00If you’re visiting St. Thomas, don’t miss Ghosts & Legends—it was easily one of the highlights of our trip. William and Rob were incredible. Their storytelling was engaging, fun, and just the right amount of spooky. They have a way of pulling you into the history and making every stop feel real and immersive. The tour itself was well-paced, full of fascinating stories, and far more memorable than any typical excursion. A must-do if you want something unique, entertaining, and genuinely well dOne

5.00I've been on ghost tours before where it's just basic stories of deaths and hauntings, but this was also full of local lore and culture, which made it much more interesting. I love that the host also gave us suggestions for where to find great local food and get more of the local island experience. There was a mid-tour stop off for refreshments. We got a pretty heavy downpour of rain toward the end of the tour. The host knew rain was coming and brought extra umbrellas. If you want to hear more about the island from a local who actually knows and cares about the history, this is a great tour!
Great experience!

5.00We throughly enjoyed our tour with Ruvinia! She was welcoming and enthusiastic as she told us stories of the city's history and the spirts that linger. This walking tour is packed with history, lore, beautiful sights, and friendly people. Ruvinia also made a lot of great recommendations for meals and shopping nearby, so do this at the beginning of your trip to get those recommendations early!
Our family absolutely...

5.00Our family absolutely loved this ghost tour—it was one of the highlights of our trip! The stories were fascinating and just the right mix of eerie and historical, making it engaging for everyone in our group. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and brought the history of Charlotte Amalie to life with such passion and personality. They were also very friendly and made the whole experience feel personal and fun. Walking through the cobblestone streets at night added the perfect atmosphere, and we all left with chills (in the best way!). You can tell a lot of care goes into preserving the storytelling and history behind this tour. We would absolutely recommend this to anyone visiting the Virgin Islands!

5.00Rovinia (sorry if it is spelled incorrectly) was amazing! She brought the island to life with her enthusiasm and obvious love of her home and its history. She is 1000% the guide you want. So friendly and an incredible story teller. We were captivated by her. She seems to truly love looking into the history of St. Thomas and surrounding islands! We wish we did this earlier on our trip to be able to go into some of the buildings after learning about them (or maybe we shouldn’t go in). Thank you!!
Maybe skip this. Perhaps the tour guide was an actual ghost that we never even saw.
