1.00I’ve been on many ghosts tours, and this was very disappointing. The tour guide, while enthusiastic, did not know how to tell a story. And over the course of 90 minutes, only told 5 stories. I picked up a book in a local library that was filled with St. Augustine ghost stories. There are plenty he could have shared and didn’t..
Blanco did an excellent...

5.00We had great time with The Sheriff! He had the best stories and historical insights! He was engaging and entertaining, with tales of odd happenings, creepy facts, sad tales, and even some funny stories. I highly recommend you request him for your tour.
Good time.
