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The Telling Elegies Ghost Tour is strictly 16+ due to mature themes and graphic historical content.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. This is not a jump-scare tour, it's a deep dive into the macabre history and unsettling hauntings that shaped America's oldest city.

What makes The Telling Elegies different from other ghost tours?

The Telling Elegies is St. Augustine's premier adults-only ghost tour, offering a sophisticated and thought-provoking experience. Unlike family-friendly tours, this explores the psychological and paranormal with mature depth. Our guides present historically accurate, disturbing accounts and invite you to question mortality, the afterlife, and the boundary between the living and the dead. It's designed for adults seeking an immersive, haunting, and intellectually stimulating experience.

How long is The Telling Elegies Ghost Tour?

The tour lasts 90 minutes and covers approximately 1 mile of walking through St. Augustine's Historic District. The pace is moderate with stops at various haunted locations. The walking is manageable for most fitness levels, though the tour does involve standing and walking on sidewalks and historic streets for the duration.

What time does The Telling Elegies tour start?

The Telling Elegies Ghost Tour departs nightly at 9:00 PM from 32 Charlotte Street in St. Augustine. The tour runs seven days a week year-round. We recommend booking in advance as this is St. Augustine's highest-rated adults-only ghost tour with a 4.9-star rating and often sells out, especially on weekends and during peak season.

Where does The Telling Elegies tour meet?

The tour meets at 32 Charlotte Street, St. Augustine, FL 32084. Your guide will be easily identifiable at this location. Parking in historic St. Augustine can be very difficult to find, especially in the evening. We strongly recommend taking an Uber, Lyft, or walking to the meeting point if you're staying nearby to avoid parking hassles.
