Good introduction to St. Augustine
Denise_M, Apr 2024
Our guide, Wendy, was great! She had extensive knowledge about St. Augustine, and she was able to communicate her knowledge in a clear and interesting way. The boat tour part was not that impressive, but the golf cart part of the tour was spot on. I would recommend this to anyone just landing in St. Augustine for an informative introduction to the city.
Missed trip
Teri_C, Apr 2024
Unfortunately due to traffic on Saturday we were unable to make the meet time so did not get to have this experience. We were coming from Cresent beach and left at 2:50 but due to backed up traffic didn’t arrive until 3:55 and was unable to find parking.
Great info on the tour but a huge lack of communication.
Angeli_M, Apr 2024
Unfortunately, we experienced misinformation and a lack of communication about the logistics of the tour. Once we bought the tickets an email was sent that said we are meeting at one place and ending at a totally different place. When I contacted the tour operator I was told that the tour starts and ends at the same place. I then had to contact the operator again and ask where we were supposed to meet since I had two separate addresses. The address given ends up being in a gazebo in the middle of a plaza. At 6:00 when the tour was supposed to start, there was still no one there to meet us. We then walked up to a random golf cart that was parked on the opposite end of the plaza. We asked the driver if she was out tour. She looked confused and said, "Oh, so there is a tour." She then proceeded to check her phone to find out if anyone else was supposed to come since she didn't even know about us. This is how our tour started. After she checked her phone for a few more minutes, she confirmed that no one else was on the tour and then started to drive. We literally drove less than a quarter of a mile to the boat dock. She left us to go get the tickets, walked us out to the pier and said, "See that line over there by the Liberty three boat? That is the boat that will take you on the boat part of this tour." I looked at her questioningly and when no other information came out of her I had to ask her what her name is and what is going to happen after we get back. This tour guide didn't even introduce herself to us. She didn't tell us how this tour works. Her plan was to literally drop us off at the boat and walk away. Once I started asking questions, then she gave us a little bit more information about how after the tour she will then take us in the golf cart and tell us the history of the area. So then I relaxed a little knowing that there was a plan that somewhat resembled the description of the tour. After standing around for about 10 minutes at the dock I finally asked a person in line when the boat was supposed to leave. The boat was not going to leave for another 35 minutes! So basically we met the lady at 6:02. She dropped us off at the dock by 6:08. She then left without telling us that the boat would not even leave until 6:45. Why did we need to meet at 6:00 if the boat did not even leave till 6:45? And to be honest we could have just met at the pier instead of having her drive us less than a quarter mile. This was such a waste of time and we only had a few hours in St Augustine. The boat tour was great. There was a lot of information and it covered the entire Bay. It was about one and a half hours long. We then get off the boat and we meet our guide again. She has a lot of information about the area and she is totally pleasant. The problem is by now, our two hour tour is already into 3 and 1/2 hours because we spent 40 minutes of it standing on a dock. It's dark and hard to see the details on the buildings that she talks about. The city is pretty at night but it would have been better for us if it was just after sundown so you can still see all the lights but still see the details of the buildings. She dropped us at our car which happened to be about 50 ft from the starting point. The tour itself is great but the lack of communication and unexpected extended amount of time it took, really messed us up since we were starving and not expecting to still be with her 3 and 1/2 hours later. This would have been a complete disaster if I had young children with me. The idea of a small group for a tour appealed to us but I feel like because it was only two of us, we weren't treated as well as a full golf cart of people would have been.
Great experience!
Deanna_R, Apr 2024
Nice trip with great tour guide. I liked having the golf cart over the trolley as less people. Highly recommend.
Great
Christine_D, Mar 2024
Enjoyed the land portion and the tour guide. It was a chilly windy day and the boat tour was hard to hear inside but enjoyed the sites
Golf cart part good…
Deborah_B, Mar 2024
Golf cart tour was excellent. Lots of additional info beyond the major attractions. The boat tour was ok.
Great Tour
Elizabeth_C, Mar 2024
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable on both the golf cart tour and water portion. We seen lots of dolphins during the boat tour.
'Pre-recorded' tour guide was underwhelming
Frank_M, Mar 2024
First, the tour guide poorly communicated when and where to meet. I had to reach out the night before to determine this info...then I got an email 45 minutes later. Thankfully I gave him my cell number, because he text me the morning of to postpone the tour due to weather (I give him credit for this call). We went the next day. He 'crammed' ten people on a large golf cart; one couple couldn't sit together. The tour guide was nice enough, but he had mostly pre-recorded tour information playing in the cart, not his own voice. I would recommend this tour because a large golf cart can maneuver the small streets of this city, where a large trolley or bus could not. The boat portion was the tour guide dropping us off at a marina to climb aboard a large tour boat we could have booked ourselves...we've had better.
Well worth the money
Michael_F, Feb 2024
Truly enjoyed today's tours. Nice cruise around the area and a very informative golf cart tour. Would really recommend this to first time visitors to St. Augustine.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Thank you for your feedback. A golf cart or electric bus tour is the best way to learn about St Augustine.
Introduction to the area
Laine_M, Jan 2024
We enjoyed the boat tour but the golf cart tour was perfect for our first day to familiarize ourselves with the area. The guides are very knowledgeable!
Response from Host, Feb 2024
The best way to begin your exploration of the oldest city. Thank you
Really liked it
Michelle_P, Dec 2023
Excellent experience, our tour guide Chase was fantastic. Great way to see the area and learn about both the land and sea historical importance and influences. I liked the intimate golf cart experience taking us around, but if you wish to take time and visit inside each place then the hop trolley is probably better for you.
Fun and History on St. Augustine!
Diane_S, Dec 2023
Loved our tour with Luis! Knowledgeable, helpful, and very kind. Look for this wonderful adventure on Dinodianesadventures.Com
The wonders of St. Augustine from land and sea.
Elliott_G, Oct 2023
Seeing the historical sights on land from the beginning of the settlement. The boat ride which offered a view of the same from the water. Also seeing the dolphins from the boat. A not to be missed tour!
Response from Host, Nov 2023
It looks like you had the full experience. Even dolphin watching. Perfect
I would recommend to anyone.
Dianne_S, Sep 2023

Great Tour
Lynn_H, Aug 2023
We enjoyed the land and water tour so much. We learned so much about the city and got to take in amazing views. The staff on each tour were very knowledgeable and accommodating.
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Thank you for your comments we believe no one should missed observing St Augustine skyline from the harbor. Our land and sea tours lets you observe all the important sites from land and sea and even watch the dolphins in the harbor. Thank you
Excellent land and boat tour of St. Augustine!
Sandy_W, Aug 2023
Really enjoyed this land and sea tour of downtown St Augustine! The tour guide for the land portion was very knowledgeable of the area, we learned a lot, he even pointed out some excellent restaurants and shops. And enjoyed seeing the sites by boat, excellent!
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Thank you Sandy. If you get a chance try to return during Christmas to look at the decorations. You will love it.
Awesome
Tina_W, Aug 2023
The golf cart part of our tour was great, and our tour guide was amazing! We had two days in St. Augustine, and this was our best and most memorable tour.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Golf carts provide a perfect way to explore the city. They allow you to drive by the narrow streets including Aviles, the oldest street in the US. Our tours allow you to understand all the things to do in St Augustine for you to explore in length at your leisure. Thank you!
Awesome knowledge Driver
Joe_T, Aug 2023
