The actor’s were amazing! Tilley was amazing! She never broke character even when the kids were blerting out questions. She went out of her way to take us in a few minutes early. Definitely will visit next time we’re were in St. Augustine.

So sorry I forgot the name of the funny "weird" (another employee's words) skinny girl who gave me the tour- I was alone-and she was great-she kept all the jokes even if it was slightly awkward with just us two haha! Loved her accent and attitude! Loved seeing the old artifacts and items. Great tour!
