Prices & schedules checked October 17, 2026
St. Augustine has dozens of trolleys, ghost walks and boat cruises competing for the same evening. We compare them side by side — price, length, where they leave from and who they suit — using operators’ own pages and the major booking sites, then tell you plainly which one fits which kind of trip.

How we pick
- Facts from the source. Prices, durations and departure points come from operators’ official pages, the city and county visitor sites, and the live Viator/GetYourGuide listings. Each guide lists its sources and the date we checked.
- No fake reviews. We don’t invent first-person stories or star ratings. Where a booking site shows traveler ratings, we say so and link to them.
- Book direct when it’s better. Some great operators aren’t on any affiliate site. We list them anyway, with a plain link that earns us nothing.
