Old Town Trolley Tours puts everything you want to see in St. Augustine within reach

Hop on, hop off. It’s that easy to get around and experience the best of the Nation’s Oldest City. Wherever you look, an Old Town Trolley is there ready to pick you and show you 100 points of interest around town while highly-trained and knowledgeable guides share stories spanning more than 550 years of history. Through its Historic Tours of America, visitors can step back in time and experience life in early St. Augustine.

Start with a tour of the Old Jail Museum. With its original cell blocks and spooky gallows, it’s no wonder it’s listed on the National Register of Haunted Places. Both thrilling and bone-chilling, the Old Jail After Dark Tour allows visitors to participate in an actual paranormal investigation, complete with cold spots, wailing and unexplained phenomenon.

At Potter’s Wax Museum, the first and oldest in the country, over 160 wax figures of the most influential and remarkable personalities, from Elvis to Churchill and Marie Antoinette, await visitors looking to have selfies taken with their favorites. Be sure to visit the wax studio where the magic happens, as figures are sculpted, painted and prepped for their debut.

Do you like scary things? You’ve come to the right place. The Ghosts & Gravestones Tour does not disappoint. It is truly a “fright-seeing” tour as your host on the Trolley of the Doomed shares the darker side of St. Augustine’s haunted past. Hear stories of spirits encountered, tales of murder and mayhem, ghostly apparitions, hauntings and legends and so much more to make your head spin.
