Our guide was truly exceptional, fun, knew his history, very courteous. Highly recommend him and the tour. The guide was a history teacher n later school principal, had to have been a great teacher n administrator of education! We lucked out and were the only ones on the tour so basically had a private tour! This tour is a great way to learn the history of St Augustine and then determine from the tour where you want to go back to and get your bearings of where things are at

The owner is the guide, he is very knowledgeable. Before picking us up, the office called to ensure that we were ready and to double check that we were getting picked up at the front door of our hotel. The guide made our tour fun, he took us around the historical streets of St. Augustine, where the trolly would not be able to drive because of its size and the trolly is very commercialized. Our guide has lived and resided in downtown St. Augustine and as a local he truly is passionate about the history and events of St. Augustine. HIGHLY recommend you book your next tour with them.
