Hello! Thanks for coming to check out my info! My name is Laura. I am a Chicagoland native, but I've been in Florida for almost 19 years. Saint Augustine has become my home away from home and my true love. Being a tour guide is my passion and brings me such joy. I am a St Augustine certified licensed guide. I also spend time in our research library with the Historical Society to dig deeper, as I always crave more information. That passion is even stronger for the guests I interact with and spend time with. I am a total people person! Which is why I love Tours by Locals as all the tours are private; therefore it is a relationship between guide and guests, as opposed to other places where you are herded in large groups and just a number or a passive participant in a lecture. Here you are an active participant. And your satisfaction is my top priority. On that note, I'd also like to mention that I am open to customization of your tour, if you have any specific area of interest that is not covered here already, or a location or theme you would like visited or to gain knowledge of. PLEASE feel free to reach out and share that with me and I will do my best to accommodate but certainly will be able to communicate about it. Thanks again for visiting! I hope to see you soon in our beautiful, Oldest Continually Occupied City in the United States! Happy travels, Laura :D

True Crime Fans; Hear Some Cases While On Site & Decide If Justice Was Served
Overview of your Jacksonville tour
Walk the dark streets of St Augustine, visiting the scene of murders, or where victims were last seen- the last moments of their lives. Hear the nitty gritty details if you dare, look at the scenes, put yourselves in the victims shoes. And the perpetrator's. From the oldest unsolved murder in the state of Florida to a recent crime caught on surveillance camera and hotly debated in our small town, we will delve into the details of several cases while standing in the heart of it. I have always been a true crime fan before that phrase was even used. Forensics investigations get my interest. Being a tour guide, I learn about the good with the bad in our history. It's all intriguing. And I know there are people out there just like me that want to hear these stories too. Come join me.
Your Jacksonville tour itinerary
Let's go! We shall start on Charlotte St, the site of an attack from hundreds of years ago. Maybe that doesn't interest you as much since it is so old. Just wait till you hear the twists and turns and you will change you mind. See who you think the culprit is. We will travel a little south of there to talk about a serial killer. Too many locations to visit, we get to see where he hung out; picture him stalking his victims, & hear how the years and victims evolved. Traveling a few blocks away to see the last place a very popular murder victim was seen alive. This town has been engrossed in her story for decades, so much so that several books have been written. Let's see what you think. If we have time we can touch on other crimes, but to wrap up our evening we end at the scene of our most hotly debated crime that was actually caught on camera. This tour is best for people age 15 and up due to it's sensitive nature. It's great for group activities!!

Transport details
Type: Walking
While this is a walking tour, we spend more time standing and talking/listening to the details of the crimes, so not a lot of walking. Perhaps half a mile. Some of the streets though have narrow sidewalks or uneven terrain, as these are old streets.
