Our tour starts here. You'll hear the story of the hold house and it's ghosts. Originally built in 1716 this is the oldest surviving wooden building in St. Augustine and has seen its fair share of history. Over the centuries its walls have been the barracks for British soldiers, a school for the youth of and the home of Juan Genopoly, a leader of the Minorcans. And their ghosts have decided to stick around. We do not go inside, it's only on the outside we tell our story.
The old city gates of St. Augustine were built in 1808 replacing the deteriorating wooden structure. Standing 3 stories high they are a popular tourist attraction. Over the centuries the old gates have kept the inhabitants of the city safe from invasion. And local legend has it they are haunted by the soul of 10-year-old Elizabeth.
In 1821 when the yellow fever hit St. Augustine it killed over 400 of its residents. At the time that was more than one third of its population.

Potter’s Wax Museum was the first wax museum in America established in 1948 and houses 160 plus creepy wax sculptures. Many of characters have long passed.

The Tolomato cemetery is the oldest burial ground in Florida dating back to the 1700’s and today it’s the final resting place to bishops, slaves, murders and over 1000 bodies lay interned in its soil. You'll hear the story of the boy that haunts it's grounds and see his headstone. To note, we do not go in the cemetery, we are only at the gate.
In the 1700’s this spot was home to the Spanish Gunpowder and ammunitions warehouse. Over the years the building has been a boarding house, a grocery store and most recently a charming bed and breakfast, haunted by the sweetest of ghosts. Today it's haunted by the sweetest of spirits. They are dying to meet you!
In 1870 this building was built by a Mr. George Colee for Marion, his fiancée who he planned to live with for eternity. You'll learn about Mr. Colee and where he now haunts.

Information was very limited as what you get with an actual tour guide group. While taking this tour we would run into the tour guided group and their information was more detailed and informative
Hi! Thanks for using the WalknTours app! The tour is about one hour, and provides stories at spots and as you walk. You can go at your own pace, anytime, on your terms, unliked guided tours making it popular for solo travelers, families and those that don't like the restrictions of group tours. If you are looking for that standard guided tour stop of 10 to 15 minute stops with long stories, you won't get that here :). These are meant to be fun, informative and well paced by design. The whole tour is about an hour plus if you do not stop and you'll see many sites in town that many people miss. You'll hear many ghost stories and historical stories. 1000's take it and I hear good feedback often! Sorry you did not like it, I'm happy to refund you. Please email me at info@walkntours.com. Thanks! Greg @ WalknTours
Wear good shoes and have fun! Make sure your mobile device is charged and enjoy the story and self-guided walk.
My family and I did this while put for a belated birthday celebration. We loved being able to go at our own pace, and being able to have a guided walk through some streets that we, somehow, hadn't been despite having gone to St. Augustine multiple times. There was a bit of confusion while we were walking around, though we quickly figured it out. When referencing the Carriage House inn, there are 2 buildings. The first one was on the right, but as we continued down, we realized the stories were a reference to the second Carriage house a bit further down the street and was on the left. Second, the Prince of Wales pub has been permanently closed, and is now ReChic Treasures. Despite those two bits of confusion, my parents and I throughly enjoyed the tour. Also, if doing this at night for a "proper" ghost tour, the Scarlett O'Hara is LOUD. My Mom had difficulty hearing the audio, so we had to go back through that audio after getting the photos we wanted and walking away.
A Must-Do in St. Augustine ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you’re intrigued by the supernatural and love the freedom to explore on your terms, this self-guided audio tour in St. Augustine is an absolute gem. My family and I recently embarked on this spooky adventure, and it was nothing short of captivating! The audio tour takes you on a thrilling journey through the haunted history of the nation’s oldest city. We wandered the historic alleys, uncovering chilling tales tied to iconic landmarks like the Oldest Wooden School House, the Old Powder House Inn Bed and Breakfast, and other historic sites, some dating back hundreds of years. The stories were well-narrated and really brought the eerie charm of St. Augustine to life. What we loved most was the flexibility. Unlike guided tours, we could go at our own pace and schedule. With five of us, it was an economical option that didn’t sacrifice quality or engagement. Plus, it felt more personal being able to explore the locations independently as we soaked in the atmosphere of the city at night. If you’re looking for a unique way to experience the haunted side of St. Augustine, this tour is perfect for families, couples, or even solo adventurers. Highly recommend it for anyone brave enough to stroll these haunted streets alone (or with some company)! #HauntedHistory #StAugustineAdventures #SelfGuidedTour If you’re intrigued by the supernatural and love the freedom to explore on your terms, this self-guided audio tour in St. Augustine is an absolute gem.

Really fun activity to do! By yourself or with friends! Travel on your on speed is one of my favorites about this! The app was pretty easy to use! Only reason I rated it 4 starts and not 5 because I wish some of the stories were a little longer. But overall I recommend for anyone needing something to do on your own time!
We learned a lot of history of St. Augustine as well as some good ghost tales. The walk is nice and you can go at your own pace.

The tour was fun, Nice to do at your own pace. The only issue was the fact that you get lost and turned around Way too easily. With that being said once you come across another area you wernt looking for the tour changes and starts talking about that location instead of the one you were headed to. So things got a tad confusing, but overall it was a nice tour just gotta pay attention better to certain streets really closely!
Great self-guided tour. After our guided ghost was canceled on us, we were bummed. Then we found this tour and enjoyed doing it at our own pace. So glad are original tour got canceled
I like how he the tour guide felt like he was really with us walking around. I also liked how he said to look up and see a ghost in the window and it was a mannequin. I like the story about the boy named James
