Overview

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; ]
