Four drinks and ghost stories in Old Town. I like how this St. Augustine night crawl keeps things simple: meet at 115 Cordova St, follow your guide, and you never have to fumble with maps. You get a spooky walk through historic streets, plus a drink right at the first stop to set the tone.

Two things I’d point to right away: you receive four complimentary alcoholic beverages during the route, and the evening runs as an easy loop that ends where you started. It also helps that the group stays small (up to 10), so you’re not just lost in a crowd while everyone yells over the bartender.

One possible drawback: this is a pub crawl first and a ghost show second. If you’re hoping for nonstop ghost lore with constant scary moments, you may find it more uneven depending on your guide and the group’s energy, since there’s real time spent seated with drinks.

Spirits with the Spirits: the key points that matter

• Four included drinks spread across the night, so you’re not waiting hours for the first sip
• A loop route through Old Town and nearby areas, designed to keep you oriented without navigation stress
• Small group size (max 10) which tends to make the storytelling feel more personal
• Special drink discounts at each stop, so you can add another round if you want
• Old Town sidewalks with a moderate walking pace, so wear shoes you trust

How the Spirits With the Spirits crawl works (and why the loop is smart)

This tour is built for an easy St. Augustine night: meet at 115 Cordova St in the Old Town area, then follow a certified guide around a set route. The big practical win is that it’s a loop—so you’re not guessing how to get back, and you’re not stuck with the letdown of a linear walk that leaves you stranded.

You’re looking at about 2 hours total. That’s long enough to hit multiple neighborhoods and hear a bunch of stories, but short enough that the night doesn’t turn into a marathon. Also, it runs in all weather conditions, so you’ll want to dress for humidity or drizzle rather than assuming you’ll get a perfect dry evening.

If you like your tours to feel “planned but relaxed,” this matches the vibe. You’re guided, you’re eating up history and supernatural tales on the move, and you’re getting a drink when you arrive at key points—no awkward search for directions or awkward waiting.

Old Town St. Augustine neighborhoods you’ll pass through on foot

The walk is centered on the Old Town district of St. Augustine, and the route also touches areas like the Flagler district and the Old Spanish area. That matters because it’s not just one generic downtown strip—it’s multiple layers of the city’s look and feel, from narrow streets to places that feel more formal and grand.

Between stops, you’ll be moving on sidewalks through areas where the atmosphere does a lot of the work for the stories. St. Augustine has that “old streets + old buildings” effect, so even without turning it into a full-on horror movie, the setting helps.

Practical note: you’ll be walking. The tour asks for moderate physical fitness, so if you have issues with steady walking or long gaps on uneven sidewalks, you’ll want to plan accordingly. Comfortable shoes aren’t optional here.

Stop one: the first venue, first drink, and the spooky baseline

The night starts with your guide meeting you at 115 Cordova St and then leading you to the first venue. Right when you arrive there, you get an included alcoholic beverage. That’s a small detail that makes a big difference: you get to settle in and toast the experience early, instead of spending the first chunk of the tour listening and waiting for the first drink.

This first stop is also where the guide usually sets the tone. Expect stories and supernatural history to start right away, tied to the Old Town area you’re standing in. It’s the moment where the tour shifts from simply “a walk with drinks” into “a guided night out with a theme.”

What to watch for: because there are multiple stops, the pacing can feel like alternating between story time and bar time. If you’re a pure story-and-ghost person, you may want to lean into the walking parts too—they’re where your brain has time to absorb what you heard at the last stop.

The next three venues: more included drinks and real bar variety

After the first stop, you’ll hit three more venues. At each one, there’s another complimentary alcoholic beverage, and you also get special drink discounts at that location.

That combination is where the value shows up. Four included drinks in about two hours means you’re not paying full price for every sip just to make the tour worthwhile. And the discounts give you a choice: keep it simple and enjoy what’s included, or stay social and add something extra if the menu looks good.

The best part is variety. St. Augustine’s Old Town isn’t one single style of bar. You may find different vibes across the stops—some places feel more like a casual hang, others feel like a destination. That variety keeps the night from feeling repetitive, even when you’re hearing similar themes across different locations.

One consideration: at least a couple of stops have been described by past guests as smoke-involving environments (for example, a cigar bar stop was mentioned). If smoke bothers you, don’t gamble. Ask the operator ahead of time whether any stop may involve heavy smoke, or plan to sit near open-air areas if available.

The guide and the storytelling level: why guide choice changes everything

This tour runs with a professional, certified guide. That’s the backbone. People can agree on whether the drinks are good, but the “haunted” part lives or dies on the guide’s pacing and how the stories connect to what you’re seeing.

From the strongest experiences, the common thread is personal storytelling and good city context. Some guides mentioned for stellar nights include Aaron, Frederick, Echo, Frank, and Amanda. Names aside, look for a guide who can tie the supernatural tales to actual locations you’re standing near—and who keeps the walking segments lively instead of turning them into dead time.

There’s also a balancing act: multiple reviews mentioned that the tour can feel more pub-crawl than full ghost tour if you’re expecting constant scares. So here’s my advice if you want the spooky side: treat it like a themed night out. Let the guide build the vibe, and don’t be afraid to ask a question if you want more specific ghost history tied to where you’re going.

Pace, atmosphere, and how to handle drinks without losing the experience

Because this is an adults-only crawl with included alcoholic beverages, you’ll want to manage pace the same way you would on any bar-hopping night. You’ll be walking between venues, so “one drink slowly” is smarter than “finish fast and brave the sidewalks.”

Dress is smart casual, which is also practical. You’ll be on your feet, in humid air, and possibly in light weather changes, so choose something you can move in. If you show up in shoes that look good but hurt, your “spooky stroll” turns into a foot-ache fundraiser.

If you’re booking with friends or a partner, I’d also suggest deciding ahead of time what you want from the night:

• If your goal is a fun, social St. Augustine outing with stories sprinkled in, this fits.
• If your goal is a nonstop ghost performance, you might feel let down if the group is chatting more than listening.

Neither is wrong. It just affects what you’ll enjoy most.

Timing and logistics that keep the night smooth

This tour starts at 7:00 pm and lasts around 2 hours. Meeting happens at 115 Cordova St, and the activity ends back at the meeting point—again, the loop matters because it removes end-of-night navigation stress.

You’ll also get a mobile ticket, and it’s offered in English. Confirmation is handled at booking time, so plan to have your phone ready when you meet up.

Weather is listed as handled, but that doesn’t mean you should dress for survival-mode. Because it operates in all weather conditions, bring a light rain layer if forecasts look questionable. Even a short drizzle can make old streets slippery.

Who should book this haunted pub crawl (and who should skip it)

I think this tour is a strong match if you want:

• A grown-up, social night in St. Augustine that mixes walking and bars
• A guided way to see more than just the most obvious tourist lanes in Old Town
• Four included drinks plus drink discounts without having to plan every purchase

It’s also ideal for couples and small groups who want a shared experience with stories tied to the places you pass. The small group size can make it feel more personal, especially when the guide works the room well.

I’d consider skipping or choosing a different style of ghost tour if you:

• Want long, uninterrupted ghost history sessions with minimal bar time
• Are highly sensitive to smoke and aren’t comfortable checking whether any stop involves cigars or heavy smoking
• Prefer a very slow, minimal-walking format (the tour expects a moderate fitness level)

Should you book Spirits with the Spirits? My honest call

Book it if you’re excited by the idea of an Old Town walking night with included drinks, a small group, and spooky stories tied to real spots. The loop format makes it low-stress, and the drink structure gives you value fast—especially on a short, fun two-hour evening.

Skip it (or adjust your expectations) if you’re mainly chasing a fully immersive ghost show. This one is still a bar crawl. You may get great supernatural storytelling, and you may also spend real time sitting, ordering, and listening in between walks.

If you want to make the best call: go in expecting a mix—history, ghost lore, and drinks—then ask yourself whether that blend is your kind of night out.
