Four drinks. One haunted walk.

Spirits with the Spirits turns St. Augustine Old Town into a 2-hour night walk with four included drinks, plus guided supernatural stories as you move between the Old Spanish area and the Flagler district.

I love the way it keeps things simple and social: a small group (up to 10) and three more complimentary stops after your first drink. You get a professional guide, an easy meeting point, and a loop route that brings you back where you started.

One consideration: if you want non-stop ghost talk the whole time, set expectations carefully. Some people feel the experience leans more toward local history and story time than constant haunting.

Key things that make this crawl work in St. Augustine

• Four complimentary alcoholic beverages split across four venues, so you’re not waiting for the “good part”
• No-map guidance led by the guide, with a loop that returns you to the meeting point
• Old Spanish area + Flagler district so you cover more than just one tight block
• Special drink discounts at each venue in addition to the included beverage(s)
• Up to 10 people for a more conversational pace than big group tours
• Smart casual + all-weather operation (but dress for the night, and be ready to walk)

A 2-hour loop through Old Town after dark

This is the kind of tour that fits perfectly when you want something fun for grown-ups without planning a whole evening. You meet in the Old Town area, then the group follows your guide through St. Augustine’s historic streets with spooky stories tied to the places you pass and the venues you stop at.

The biggest practical appeal is the pacing. You’re not doing a marathon, and you’re not trapped in one venue for the whole time. It’s built as a loop, and it ends back at the starting point, which matters in St. Augustine because nights can be lively and parking can be annoying.

The vibe is part haunted storytelling, part “let’s have a drink and chat,” with enough structure to keep you moving. And because it’s only about 2 hours, it works even if you’re also trying to fit in dinner and a little self-guided wandering after.

Meeting at 115 Cordova St and starting at 7:00 pm

You start at 115 Cordova St, St. Augustine, FL 32084, right in the Old Town area. The tour runs in English and uses a mobile ticket, so you’ll want your phone ready.

Starting at 7:00 pm is a smart choice. You’ll be walking when the streets feel alive, but you still have enough light early on to make the route easier to enjoy. Also, since it ends back at the meeting point, it’s easier to line up your next step—whether that’s dessert, a second drink somewhere nearby, or calling it a night.

Two practical tips from what this type of tour consistently emphasizes:

• Wear smart casual shoes you can walk in. You’ll be moving between spots, and the tour notes a moderate fitness level.
• Dress for changing coastal weather. Even when tours run in “all weather conditions,” you’re still walking at night, and humidity plus wind can change how comfortable you feel fast.

Four included drinks, plus discounts at each venue

The core format is simple: you stop at four venues, and you get a complimentary alcoholic beverage at each. That’s the heart of the value here. You’re paying for a guided walking experience, and you’re also getting a drink at every stop so the evening stays fun and social.

On top of that, you also receive special drink discounts at each venue. So if you want to order something different, or you want an extra round, you’re not stuck paying full price every time. The exact discounts aren’t listed here, but the structure is consistent: the tour is designed so the group gets treated better than a typical walk-in.

A good way to think about it: this isn’t a dry “ghost tour with occasional stops.” It’s a true pub-style crawl, where your stops are part of the show. That works best if you enjoy a relaxed bar atmosphere and don’t mind that you’ll spend some time sitting, sipping, and listening.

Stop-by-stop: how each phase of the night plays out

The tour is set up so the first venue eases you into the rhythm, and the rest keeps the momentum going.

Stop 1: the welcome drink and the story kickoff

You meet at 115 Cordova St, then head out with your certified guide. The first venue is where the pace clicks into place, because an alcoholic drink is included right when you arrive.

This first stop matters more than people think. It gives the group a chance to get comfortable, settle into the tour tone, and hear how your guide will connect the supernatural stories to the streets around Old Town. If your group is chatty, it also sets up a friendly atmosphere for the rest of the evening.

Possible drawback to watch for: if you’re arriving expecting a big, theatrical ghost show from the first minute, you may want to mentally shift to a slower burn. The stories grow as the evening goes on.

Stops 2, 3, and 4: continuing the loop with drink breaks

After the first venue, you have three more stops. Each one includes another complimentary drink, and you also get discounts at each place.

What I like about this structure for you is the built-in balance:

• You get time to listen and absorb the stories.
• You also get enough downtime to keep things comfortable.
• And because you’re moving through different neighborhoods, it doesn’t feel like the same scene repeating.

Where you might feel friction is if you’re very picky about the amount of “ghost content” versus local history. The feedback includes both people who love the spooky storytelling and people who wanted more haunting-focused narration. That doesn’t mean the tour is bad—it means your expectation needs to match the experience style. Think “spooky stories paired with a bar crawl,” not “nonstop paranormal documentary.”

The walk between venues: Old Spanish and Flagler streets

Between stops, you’ll walk around Old Town and pass through areas including the Flagler district and the Old Spanish area. Those neighborhoods are a big part of why St. Augustine tours feel different from other beach towns. You get older streets, older architecture, and a sense of how the city has layered history over time.

This walking time is also where the guide’s narrative does its best work. Since you don’t need to use maps, you can focus on the route itself and listen instead of constantly checking where to turn.

What the haunted stories feel like (and why feedback varies)

St. Augustine has real, layered history, and this crawl uses that energy. The guide ties supernatural tales to the places you visit, while the rest of the evening stays anchored in the pub-crawl format.

From the guide performance that shows up repeatedly, I’d expect a mix of:

• local lore tied to specific locations
• entertaining storytelling with a friendly tone
• occasional personal anecdotes mixed into the narrative style

Names of guides who come up often in the feedback include Aaron, Frederick, Echo, Frank, Amanda, Shawn, and Sadie. The consistent thread isn’t just that they know facts. It’s that they keep the group engaged, and they interact in a way that makes the evening feel more like you’re walking and chatting with someone who loves the city.

Still, a balanced warning: a few comments point out that the spooky elements didn’t always feel strong enough, or that the story-to-drink ratio wasn’t what people wanted. So if you’re the type who wants a heavy, ghost-forward script, go in with the understanding that this is also a bar crawl. You’ll get stories, but it’s not guaranteed to be a pure haunting event with zero downtime.

One more practical note: there’s at least one mention of a cigar bar stop. If smoke is a dealbreaker for you, it’s worth asking in advance whether any of the venues involved could be smoking-permitted. You don’t want to spend the tour uncomfortable and stuck worrying about your reaction.

Group size, guide style, and the “grown-up fun” factor

This tour caps at 10 travelers, and that’s a big deal for the experience quality. Smaller groups usually mean:

• the guide can answer questions
• the pace feels less rushed
• the walk feels more personal and less like herding

Several comments also highlight guides being attentive and adaptable to preferences. So if you like to ask questions or you’re the type who enjoys back-and-forth conversation, you’re likely to feel more included than in a huge tour.

There’s also a simple social advantage: because the included drinks are baked into each stop, the group stays in a shared rhythm. It makes it easier to chat with people you didn’t know before, which can be half the fun of a two-hour night out.

Who this crawl suits best (and who should reconsider)

This is a strong fit for:

• Adults 21+ who want a walking tour with drinks included
• Friends and couples who like a casual, social itinerary
• People who enjoy St. Augustine on foot and want a guided route without reading maps
• Anyone who wants a “something fun tonight” plan that doesn’t require a whole day of logistics

It may be a weaker fit if:

• You’re extremely sensitive to smoke and can’t tolerate smoking-permitted venues
• You want a fully ghost-obsessed experience with little emphasis on drink culture
• Your expectations are for a longer tour focused on major cemetery-style stops (this is short and built for bar venues, not a cemetery marathon)

Also keep in mind the physical piece. It’s not described as intense, but it does call for moderate physical fitness. Two hours can still mean steady walking in older streets.

Value: four drinks, guided route, and easy pacing

Even without listing pricing details here, the value logic is clear. You’re not just paying for someone to talk at you. You’re getting:

• a professional guide
• a guided walking route across notable areas of St. Augustine
• four included alcoholic beverages
• discounts at the venues
• a loop that ends back where you started

For many people, the “value win” comes from avoiding decision fatigue. You don’t have to pick bars, check addresses, or worry about missing the best story locations. The tour handles the flow, and you get to focus on the experience.

Weather, comfort, and what to wear

The tour notes it operates in all weather conditions, so it isn’t built as a fair-weather-only activity. That said, it also says the experience requires good weather, and if it’s canceled due to poor conditions you’ll be offered another date or a full refund.

So plan for real night walking. Bring layers if it’s cool, and expect sidewalks that can be uneven. Shoes matter more than you think.

Dress code is smart casual. That usually means you can go in your “nice going-out” outfit without feeling overdressed, but still be comfortable enough to walk and stand in bar environments.

Should you book Spirits with the Spirits?

I’d book it if you want a compact, drink-included way to see more of St. Augustine than one street corner. The four included drinks, the small group size, and the guided route through Old Town areas make it a practical choice for a fun night out.

I’d hesitate if you want a hardcore, ghost-only tour with nonstop haunting, or if smoke sensitivity is a concern without any chance to avoid smoking venues. In that case, ask questions before you go so you’re not stuck during a stop that doesn’t work for you.

If you’re the type who likes local lore, enjoys a bar atmosphere, and wants a guided loop that ends cleanly back at the start, this is exactly the sort of evening plan that hits the sweet spot.
