Our guide, Karen, was so knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. Our whole group enjoyed the entire tour! Absolutely a MUST when visiting St Augustine!

Great fun!

Jenelle_N, Mar 2024

Mark was funny and educational! Great tour ! Living in the area we had never been on a tour, and we had totally missed out. For the price this was a great deal for our group of 10.

Fantastic personal tour of St Augustine

Amy_B, Mar 2024

Karen was fantastic! The tour was so informative, fascinating and a great way to see the city. Would definitely recommend!

Highly recommend this tour and tour guide!

Barbara_B, Feb 2024

Karen was so knowledgeable about Saint Augustine. Her tour was informative and fun! Three generations on tour all loved it, Wonderful relaxing way to learn about the cities history and see the sites without driving or parking.

Excellent history and fun

Bethany_P, Feb 2024

Andy was so knowledgeable abou the history of the area. He was great with the grandkids and worked around traffic so we got the best of experiences. I would request him if I were to go again. Very worth it!

TEN STARS!!!

Grace_W, Jan 2024

Karen was absolutely phenomenal. She went above and beyond. Her knowledge of not just Saint Augustine but the history of Spain, the New World as a whole, how world history impacted Florida through the ages, even modern history of the area… absolutely blew us away. Our children are sixth generation natives, and we are knowledgeable about the area, and she taught us things! This is the best way to see and understand the beautiful gem of Florida's First Coast. We could not recommend this tour or this tour guide any more highly. 10 stars!

Nice tour!

April_S, Jan 2024

Karen was very knowledgeable, we really enjoyed our historical tour, learned and saw a lot. Cart was comfortable too.

Exceptional tour!

Julie_W, Jan 2024

Our guide Karen was spectacular! We loved how she shared the history timeline from the beginning when Ponce de Leon landed, then through historical events, places, time, and people. Her narrative was easy to follow. She certainly had studied and researched St. Augustine. She was genuinely excited about the history and events that took place. I have lived in SA for ten years and taken many friends on different tours but Karen made this one exceptional. Having a small private tour was the best way to tour the city.

Highly enjoyable and educational experience!

Tolly_E, Dec 2023

Our tour guide, Mark, was extremely knowledgeable and very funny. We all learned a lot and everyone said the tour was the highlight of our trip to St Augustine.

Tour Lovers-This IS your Tour!

Rosalyn_S, Dec 2023

Fascinating, informative and authentic tour of St. Augustine. I was amazed at how much Karen packed into an hour and fifteen minutes. It was nice to be driven to various key places around St. Augustine that we would never have made it to without the tour. It was obvious Karen loves her job and very concerned with the authenticity of the information she shares. I really want to see that complete ship unearthed and intact. And the info on MLK’s visits and actual march was fascinating. Really, a very complete tour of the beginning of St. Augustine and significant events in the timeline of the city. Just terrific,! Well worth every penny!

Execellent tour is downtown St. Augustine!

Sandy_W, Aug 2023

Enjoyed this tour of St. Augustine! Tour driver was very knowledgeable of the area, we learned a lot of the history, and he answered all our questions, even went out of his way to show us more of the churches we were interested in.

Excellent historical tour of st augustine

Andrea_F, Jun 2023

Tour guide was excellent. So much good information and stories. On time, answered all questions. A perfect tour.

Excellent Tour

Carolyn_J, Jun 2023

The knowledge of our driver was outstanding. The history of St. Augustine came alive. He told us the history of places that we visited that we would never had known.

Worth every penny! This is perfect if you have a group over 6 and want a personal experience!

Monica_C, Jun 2023

I wanted a personal tour experience for my family to enjoy and this was it! The weather was questionable and I was messaging back and forth with driver before scheduled time. Quick and great responses from operator. Karen picked us up right at the parking garage. Great place to start because parking is guaranteed. The little electric golf cart fits 3 rows at 3 each row and one by the driver. Low to ground so easy for older guests getting in and out and quiet so we could hear the driver very well! Everything. There was no time where I was questioning what she said, and with hard of hearing people that's priceless! What an amazing and knowledge driver. We had such a good time! Age group from 8 to 68 all enjoyed the tour and the great guide. Very personable and nice and full of information. The tour itself took you from the fountain of youth all the way thru to the street MLK matched on! What a diverse history lesson of the importance of the city. And I'm pretty sure the driver would have dropped us at George Street had we been prepared to do that. So that's a bonus with the down town parking being so bad! Well worth the money if you have no intention of getting on and off at stops. And it gives you a chance to ask questions as you go thru and get extra information for inquiring minds! Thank you Karen for giving us such a great experience we really enjoyed ourselves and will definitely come back to see you when we come back to town!

Rain Rain go away

Kody_A, May 2023

Tour cut short due to rain. Felt like guide was trying his best hurrying but it made it forgettable because we couldn’t understand a word.

Great tour!

Kathleen_S, May 2023

Karen was very informative. Enjoyed her tour and her wonderful suggestions. She had a great personality and was fun to be with.

History came to life

Kristy_P, May 2023

Karen, really, made history come to life, loved the tour with her! It was the best way to tour the town and learn all the nuggets of how it came to be. Defiently worth every penny!

Learning the history of the development and the men involved.

Henrietta_W, Apr 2023

Learning about the development of St. Augustine. And the history of the developers. The history behind the buildings and the fort.
