The walking tour was phenomenal! Highly recommend. Our guide Alex was so knowledgeable and delightful. We learned a lot and can’t wait to return and take another tour.

This was our first trip to St. Augustine and Alex's St Augustine Experience walking tour was incredible! My husband and I learned so much about the long history of St Augustine. So many highlights including learning about the Castillo, discovering some off the beaten path treasure and an extra highlight was learning about Andrew Young's time in St Augustine in 1964 being the impetus to get the Civil Rights Act passed. Alex was welcoming, knowledgeable, energetic, patient with questions and offered to be available for any other questions we had during our stay. We tried one of his restaurant recommendations for lunch- Meehans and WOW! it will be a must stop. An amazing fish sandwich! If there were 6 stars, I would give this tour 6 DO IT!
