Fabulous Sweet Treats

Gottarun6, Feb 2024

My husband, daughter and I had a spectacular tour with Alison, we had so many sweet treats while on our tour and brought home a bagful of additional treats from each visit! We learned interesting facts about such a wonderful town. Thank you! Highly recommend!!!

Wonderful guides and yummy goodies!

Dawn_G, Nov 2023

Great tour! Amy is the perfect tour guide. She has so much knowledge and shared a lot of great information! So many wonderful goodies are included. I highly recommend this tour!

Highly recommend !!

Diane_D, Jul 2023

We started with warm espresso brownie bites and ended with beautiful macaroons. The amazing chocolate we tasted as we toured and learned of St Augustine’s history in between. Our tour guide Robyn was amazing.

Can’t Beat Sweets and History Combined

Rose_C, Jul 2023

Alex was an excellent tour guide. He is passionate about St. Augustine and you can tell he really loves what he does. We loved sampling sweets at each of the shops we stopped in, as well as learning about the rich history of St. Augustine. Would definitely do another tour with this company!

Awesome tour

Michele_L, Jun 2023

This was one of the best tours I’ve ever been on. I enjoyed the mix of chocolates and sweets along with the history learned along the way. Debra was an awesome tour guide and very helpful to answer any questions we threw at her. Debra sent a text the morning of the tour which was great as I wasn’t sure about parking and I also knew who I would be meeting. The thermal bag and treats received were terrific. I recommend anyone who has a sweet tooth take this tour!

Yum!

evelyn_H, Apr 2023

Alison was a fun, knowledgeable tour guide. It was more like taking a stroll through the city with a friend than a pre-planned tour. Very enjoyable.

Exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly

Pam_H, Apr 2023

Loved our experience, the knowledge that Alison had of the area was incredible. We highly recommend her as your guide. Side note if she doesn’t know the answer she will get it for you AND comes with many recommendations for local eateries as well!

all the samples were...

Johnny_M, Mar 2023

all the samples were delicious. We also got a few goodies to take home. They were not stingy with the amount of treats you got. Our tour guide, Robin, was great. We totally enjoyed it!

Cami_D, Mar 2023

Loved our guide, Debra! She was friendly and knowledgeable, pointing out spots that I never would’ve seen on my own! Would recommend this tour to anyone!!

Wonderful Tour!

David_B, Mar 2023

We liked going to the Ancient City Brunch Bar, the Flagler College swimming pool, and the Greek Orthodox Church. Alison was personable, very friendly, and knowledgeable. She went out of her way to recommend restaurants to us and even followed up with an email listing the restaurants after the tour. We enjoyed visiting places that were less well-known and places that were not highlighted on the trolley tour.

Don’t miss out on this fun tour!

Paige_S, Feb 2023

Debra was a fabulous tour guide. She took our drink orders before arriving so we were able to begin our tour with our choice of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. St. Augustine history was woven into the stops at the different shops. We received SO MANY yummy treats along the way. Some to eat during the tour and others to savor later. I’ve done other food tours in the past and didn’t necessarily feel like I had gotten my money’s worth. Not the case for this tour! We received so many treats and a cute cooler bag I felt like we maximized our ROI. Don’t miss out on this fun tour!

Great Tour..Schedule Early!!!

Peter_M, Feb 2023

Great tour with Robyn…she was very knowledgeable about old town history, and also offered many suggestions for things to do in the area. One suggestion… schedule this tour early in your trip, as you will want to return to explore!

A Different Way to Learn the History of a City

Elisa, Jan 2023

I arranged this experience for my husband, mother in law and a friend. The other people who were to join our group were not able to make it last minute so we had a fun, private tour. Robyn shared lots of information about the old, historic city while we popped into several sweets shops for a treat. My group had a lot of fun and they were pleasantly surprised at how much they learned! It was a great experience!

Great Way to Spend a Day

Michelle_M, Jan 2023

Wonderful tour combined history & choclate . ...what could be better. The business patronized were clean & well stocked.

Awesome Time

Luqueeta_H, Jan 2023

Met some awesome people, had a great guide. Debbie 5 stars! Stayed out all night with new friends. My daughter had a blast!

Best chocolate tour around

Ashton_T, Jan 2023

Tasty and Fun

Kristen_A, Jan 2023

This tour was fantastic, from the very start! I kinda wish this, or the walking Ale Tour provided by the same company, was the first tour we did. Our tour guide, Alex, takes his time to get to know each member in his group, and from there on out you feel like you're longtime friends. This delicious tour has several great tasting stops, with each location sending you on your way with extra treats. Alex handily provides a lunchbox cooler to store all your goodies in, along with a water. Alex is very knowledgeable about St. Augustine, and delivers his knowledge in a way that makes you love the city just as much as he. We had a great time, and will definitely be back to try the Ale tour!

Awesome Adventure

Pam_V, Jan 2023

This is a great tour. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I highly recommend it to everyone. Not only do you get a personable experience going to different sweet shops around town, the history that Alex, our tour guide, shared with us was amazing. We were fortunate that Alex's wife, Amy, joined us too. Great couple. They both have a great knowledge of the history of St. Augustine. You get to sample treats at each place plus some samples to take home in the small cooler bag they give you. He showed us historical places that were off the beaten path that were awesome. We are going back next month with our kids and grandkids and will definitely book this tour again. Book this tour, you won't regret it..

Delightful Anniversary

Elda_M, Jan 2023

I really enjoyed the history and what went into the chocolate I have been eating. The samples and our treat bags were worth the walk and calories. My husband and I loved our chocolate kick off for our anniversary.
