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. More

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. More

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. More

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

My family and I just got back from St. Augustine. This is our second trip. The first time we were there we went on the Ripley's Ghost train. They did a pretty good job, but we decided to give someone else a try this time. I'm so glad we did, The Sheriff does a wonderful job of blending the history... More
