Nightly Spirits Historic Haunted Booze & Boos Tours look at some of the spookiest places in St. Augustine while allowing time to really enjoy the "spirits" along the way. Our tours stop at several different local bars and give you a look into their haunted and historic past.
The Ancient City has a rich history, filled with tales of epic battles, violent bloodshed, and eccentric individuals. St. Augustine is notoriously haunted. If you’re brave enough to meet some ancient ghosts, join Nightly Spirits for an up-close look at just what makes this city so spirited! Come try us out, this isn't your ordinary ghost tour, and we are confident that you will love our pirate guides!
You'll meet your costumed tour guide at the courtyard entrance. After check-in, you'll go inside and grab a drink before joining the group for introduction and stories.
A great view of the Castillo and St. George Street. Get there early, explore, and maybe grab a small snack to enjoy. They share the premises with Wines at Fort Alley.
The Huguenot Cemetery dates back to 1821. We'll tell stories outside of the iron gates of all of its ghostly inhabitants.
Guests will have a chance to take a picture of one of St. Augustine's seven famous Love Trees.
We'll walk all along this historic street. St. George Street was once the main street of the city and is now a pedestrian-only street is lined with restaurants, shops, and attractions.
It might have no name, but this bar is a great stop on the tour! Juxtaposing the whimsical neon skeleton hanging from the ceiling with the view of the ancient Castillo. This quirky stop is a great place to grab a drink and tell a few ghost stories.
In 1672, construction began on the Castillo de San Marcos, the oldest masonry fort in America, not to mention one of the most haunted landmarks on the coast. It will be an amazing background throughout much of our tour. Great picture opportunity!
We'll stop in for a quick drink! Not only are we a stone’s throw away from the eerie banks of the Matanzas River, but this building we are in is no stranger to death. It was originally a private home and the owner was murdered here by a rum running pirate. He is clearly not happy about it because he makes his presence known by shoving his unsuspecting victims.
Flagler College is home to several ghostly entities, including Flagler himself, his wife, and a bevy of his “lady friends.”
We'll pass by the Oldest Wooden School House. The house itself dates back to the 1700s but was opened as a museum in 1931. A manikin in the upper window pays homage to its famous ghost!
We'll pass by this amazing landmark on our walking route. This is the oldest Catholic church in the United States. The guide will tell you all about its storied past. Three of the walls are the original coquina walls from 1797 and are two feet thick!
Scarlett’s has been called the most haunted bar in St. Augustine and has at least two poltergeists. We'll stop in for a drink as our last stop of the night!
