Our family lives near St. Augustine but we never took the trolley or visited the museums. I was really surprised by how much we enjoyed the Old Store. Our guide, Orville, greeted us outside the store and was very entertaining before we actually went inside, In the store, there are hundreds of artifacts. Orville explained many of them with some very funny stories that had our family laughing. This tour was a big surprise and well worth it.

I was honestly surprised by how much we enjoyed this. It goes over a lot of different products that were sold back then and how those products evolved overtime. Our guide, Edith, was great. My daughter (6) stayed engaged the whole tour. I might not make the trip just for this tour, but If you’re already going to be in the area I’d suggest checking it out!
