Great way to see the city and learn about the history of the oldest city in the US. There is a lot to see and do in St. Augustine. Our guide Jacob had really good sense of humor and outstanding attitude, he constantly made sure we were happy with the experience. I highly recommend taking this tour.

Wonderful way to explore the history of St. Augustine. We enjoyed learning so much about our country’s first city! Our guide Charles was a great storyteller, the kids actually paid attention to the information he shared because of how animated he was in his presentation. Turned out to be the highlight of our visit to Florida!
