A Ghostly Experience ID 4311

Can I take photos?
Photos are not only welcomed but encouraged. The guides will explain what to look for and show you areas that are 'hot-spots' for activity. While supernatural photos cannot be guaranteed, you never know what you might capture.

What should I wear?
Please wear appropriate footwear and watch your step, as sometimes we venture across fields or unpaved areas in search of the supernatural.

Do tours depart in the rain?
Yes, tours run rain or shine.

When should I arrive for the tour?
Please arrive 10-15 minutes early to check in for your tour.

What should I expect during the Ghostly Experience? 
St. Augustine has a long history of paranormal activity. We share not only the ghostly tales of haunts that still reportedly linger but the real history of why the sites we visit are supposedly haunted, the true stories behind those ghosts and legends. We'll also explain the different types of haunting energies found and how paranormal investigators classify and explain these experiences.

Every tour experience is different, as each individual guide is unique. While we are the only tour company to have an on-staff Director of Education to verify the authenticity of all information presented, our guides themselves constantly research and seek out new information to share along with their own individual sightings and past experiences leading ghost tours.

Do I have to believe in ghosts to join the tour? 
No, but please at least come with an open mind or a genuine interest in hearing the stories of the past and why it is believed that certain areas are 'haunted.' There have been numerous 'converts' who join the tours as skeptics, but leave as die-hard believers.

Is the Ghostly Experience appropriate for all ages?
Though you know your child's 'scare' level better than we do, so it is truly your call.

Is the tour wheelchair accessible?
Yes.

We would encourage you to ask questions along the way and see if our guide might recommend a substitution.

May I bring my dog on this tour?
Sorry, pets are not allowed on any of our tours.

Will there be breaks for restrooms?
Our walking tours start at various locations around the City and while we do our best to accommodate restrooms at the start of your tour, we do highly recommend using the restroom prior to arrival to your tour. We will have restroom stops built into each walking tour. For our food and walking tours, all of the restaurants we visit will have restrooms to use.

Do you offer water on your tours?
We do not provide water on our tours due to the fact that they all originate from locations outside of our headquarters. Please plan ahead and bring water with you. For our culinary, restaurant and food tours our restaurant partners will provide water free of charge.

Do you have a stroller I can use for my child?
No stroller, no problem! We rent strollers out for daily use, multi-daily use. But most of our walking tours do not originate from our bike shop. You will want to make arrangements in advance to rent and pick up your stroller. Please note that our tour guides many times meet the group directly in the neighborhood covered on the tour, without stopping at the bike shop, so we cannot deliver strollers to you.

Are your tours ADA accessible?
All of our walking tours at the present moment do allow for ADA compliant and wheelchair accessible. But please note that sometimes our restaurants change and we cannot guarantee every restaurant will not include stairs of some sort which might make things difficult. A majority of our stops should be ADA compliant.

What should I wear? What should I bring?
We recommend you bring small items such as an ID, credit card and cash (to tip the guide), cell phone, and camera. We suggest tennis shoes and comfortable, loose-fitting clothes that are appropriate for the weather conditions on the day of your tour. We strongly suggest you wear layers, particularly in spring and fall. Many of our tours are downtown, close to Lake Michigan, which is one of the largest lakes in the world and can alter the temperature quickly based on the direction of the wind.

How much walking is involved?
Not more than you can handle! The pace is usually good for everyone. We’ve rated each tour-level so that you can pick the right tour for you. We do stop at various points of interest and attractions so that you can have a brief rest while our tour guides explain the history of Chicago in a way that brings the stories to life. While you want to make sure the distance we cover is suitable for you, remember that we will never be walking continuously for that amount of time. We will have 6-8 stops mixed in along the route for resting periods and to learn about Chicago. Please note that with some of our walking tours there are some stairs that we navigate during the tour.

Are tours offered in bad weather?
We run most of our tours in any type of weather. Walking tours run year round as they are less dependent on stable weather for their operation. During the nicer months, we use the beautiful outdoor promenades for our walking tours. And during inclement weather, we can duck down and use Chicago’s unique underground pedway system to get from point to point. Just remember to always dress for the weather.  Because our walking tours do not leave from our headquarter location, we do not provide rain ponchos should a pop-up shower occurs

Are guide gratuities included in the price?
The tour price does not include gratuities in the cost of our tours. If you had a great time, gratuities are accepted by our tour guides.

Bikes, Bites, & Brews ID 6682

How long and strenuous is the bike tour?
This tour covers 13-miles of Chicago neighborhoods in 4 hours. However, the pace is easy and ideal for all ages and activity levels.

Can you accommodate food allergies or vegetarians on your food tours?
We CAN provide food substitutions for vegetarians on ALL tours. Gluten-free substitutions are available on certain tours. While we try our very best to accommodate food allergies, we cannot guarantee certain avoidance from various food allergies. We would encourage you to ask questions along the way and see if our guide might recommend a substitution. Please note your request for food accommodations when booking your tour in the “Have Special Needs?” field.

Are food and drinks included in the tour?
Yes.

May I bring my dog on this tour?
Sorry, pets are not allowed on the tours.

Will there be breaks for restrooms?
Yes, most of the restaurants we visit will have restrooms to use. We recommend using the restroom prior to arrival to your tour, however, to expedite the start of the tour.

Is water provided on the tours?
Water is provided at each restaurant stop.

What should I wear? What should I bring?
Bring small items such as an ID, credit card and cash (to tip the guide), cell phone, and camera. We suggest tennis shoes and comfortable, loose-fitting clothes that are appropriate for the weather conditions on the day of your tour.  We strongly suggest you wear layers, particularly in spring and fall. Many of our tours ride close to Lake Michigan, which is one of the largest lakes in the world and can alter the temperature quickly based on the direction of the wind. We offer pouches on the front of our bikes that allow you to store wallets, cameras, cell phones, and other smaller items, and you are welcome to keep any larger items back at our shop while you are out on a tour or rental.

Do you have a bike I can use?
No bike, no problem! We have hot deluxe comfort bikes for you to ride, and helmets to keep you safe. They each have front pouches and back racks for storage of smaller items. Although we recommend riding our bikes, you can bring your own but we don’t offer any discounts for doing so. Moreover, due to so many types of bike makes and models, if you bring your own bike and have a mechanical issue it will be unlikely we will have the proper tools to fix the issue. But, we will have the tools to fix any issues that might arise from the use of our bikes. All of our bikes are deluxe comfort bikes with fat tires, cushy seats, and fenders to keep you clean.

Are tours offered in bad weather?
We run most of our tours in any type of weather.

Are guide gratuities included in the price?
No. If you had a great time, gratuities are accepted by our tour guides.

How much biking is involved?
Enough biking that you’ll see a ton but not more than you can handle! The pace is usually good for everyone. We do stop at various points of interest and attractions so that you can have a brief rest while our tour guides explain the history of Chicago in a way that brings the stories to life. While you want to make sure the distance we cover is suitable for you, remember that we will never be biking continuously for that amount of time. We will have 6-8 stops mixed in along the route for resting periods and to learn about Chicago.
