Walk the dark streets of St. Augustine. Put yourself in the scene of murders, or the set up, where victims were last seen; the last moments of their lives. Learn the details of the case, then you decide, was justice served? Is the right person convicted? Or maybe there was none or unsolved. Crimes from the oldest unsolved murder in Florida almost 240 years ago, up to a recent hotly debated crime caught on tape. Immerse yourself in the Torrid Tales of our town and see how you come out the other side. Roughly 90 minutes; tour size kept small (up to 12) to maintain intimate and interactive experience; this tour ends outside a local bar, with the opportunity to go inside after tour with the guide and further discuss cases. (this is only optional as some people like to continue discussion; no drinks included in tour price) [Ages 15 and up; walking tour; rain or shine; ]

    This is a good one!

    Laura was a great guide who was extremely knowledgeable about the places we visited. She has a wonderful sense of humor, and hand tailored our experience. Highly recommend the experience!

And especially letting others know we can customize or tailor if need be and fits the situation. Glad to hear you enjoyed! Thanks for taking the time giving your opinions. :D

    Torrid Tales True Crimes Tour!

    Let me start off by saying, we are not the tour kind of couple… but for once we tried something different. I came across the Torrid Tales True Crimes tour & it was spectacular!!! Not only did Laura describe perfectly what the scene of the crime what have looked like back in the day, but her knowledge of the victims, historical dates & events, small details that paint a perfect picture, surpassed what I thought this tour would have been. Based on our interests, she pivoted & customized her tour. Laura rocked! She does history tours as well & does amazing photography. Check her stuff out! Highly recommended! ❤️🙌🔥 Love from Naples, Ori & Adrian

    Torrid Tales True Crime Walking Tour of St Augustine: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for St Augustine.

    How much does Torrid Tales True Crime Walking Tour of St Augustine cost?

    +

    Prices start at $31 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in St Augustine usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Torrid Tales True Crime Walking Tour of St Augustine take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in St Augustine is not rushed.

    Is Torrid Tales True Crime Walking Tour of St Augustine worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 23 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in St Augustine, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Torrid Tales True Crime Walking Tour of St Augustine?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Torrid Tales True Crime Walking Tour of St Augustine suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Torrid Tales True Crime Walking Tour of St Augustine?

    +

    Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in St Augustine can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in St Augustine and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Torrid Tales True Crime Walking Tour of St Augustine start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central St Augustine within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in St Augustine?

    +

    St Augustine is walkable history: Castillo de San Marcos, Spanish quarter walking tours, trolley loops, lighthouse climbs and some of the best-attended ghost tours in the country. Guide storytelling quality is the main variable. On Outty we rank every St Augustine experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Medieval Torture Museum with Ghost Hunting and Tiny Art Gallery, St. Augustine's Wine, Cocktail and Food Experience, Dolphin and Wildlife Adventure of St. Augustine. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit St Augustine?

    +

    February to May and September to November. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in St Augustine?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
