The sherriff was very knowledgable but the tour was advertised as a ghost tour, which it was not. He told of people and how/where they died but nothing ghostly about it. Would not recommend.

Not only is he handsome, funny, informative, knowledgible but he makes his character come alive. The Sheriff is a former law enforcement office from South Florida so he really knows how to use his gun and has a real command of his character. The sheriff involves everyone in his tales - men, women, young and old. You forget at some... More

I really enjoyed the Sheriff and all the history and stories he shared. Much better than the Ripley's Ghost Train which we did our last time in St Augustine, in my view. Though, the two are intended to be different - the Sheriff is more history, more stops along the way and more stories he said he researched. The Ghost... More

I only started researching some of the stories b/c they seemed so interesting, I figured, let me see if they really are true. Don't want this to be a spoiler, but suffice it to say that the Sheriff's stories are only partly true. Still, he's a character, and a great storyteller. Everyone in our group, from a 12 year old...

We saw the great reviews and decided this was probably the best tour in the city. Great decision! What a fun tour! The Sheriff is a top-notch storyteller. Everyone in the family had a great time from my 90 year old mom to my 7 year old daughter. My daughter talked about how much she missed him for weeks.

I have been on the Sheriff's tour 3 times now and each time that I have gone to visit the Sheriff Guy White I have learned more and more about the history and facts of things that have actually happened in this fabulous ancient city. I recommend you go visit Sheriff Guy White in downtown St. Augustine this was wonderful.... More

My husband and I took this tour not knowing what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised. We heard lots of great stories from Sheriff White. In addition to the stories we learned historical facts about St. Augustine.

Better than expected! The history along with the ghost stories was worth the price. Not a dull moment. We had an 8year old with us and she loved it! She's still talking about it.

Just coming up to St. Augustine for the day. We didn't know what to expect, but the Sheriff was very entertaining. At first we where the only group that showed up for the night, so I thought it would be a fluke. He really knows his history about St. Augustine. It is an amazing city that I would strongly reccommend... More
