The Telling Elegies Ghost Tour FAQ
Everything you need to know before you go
What is the age restriction for The Telling Elegies Ghost Tour?
The Telling Elegies Ghost Tour is strictly 16+ due to mature themes and graphic historical content. This adults-only tour explores disturbing tales of murder, betrayal, death, and damnation with psychological depth that's not appropriate for children. Valid ID may be requested to verify age. If you're looking for a family-friendly option, we recommend The Ghosts of St. Augustine Tour instead.
What kind of mature content should I expect on this tour?
The Telling Elegies tour features raw, unfiltered accounts of St. Augustine's darkest history, including detailed stories of murder, torture, disease, death, and paranormal phenomena. The content is intellectually engaging but includes graphic historical details and explores psychological horror.
