We were sort of expecting more than two rooms on a "tour", but it was interesting. There were just the two of us. We waited a few minutes and when no-one else showed up she went ahead. She was knowledgeable and willing to answer questions. We didn't have a lot. It was a bit hard to find since it's on a sort of side street. We'll never be in St Augustine again so we wanted to "do" all the tours. Not sure it was worth the $9.95 senior rate but at least we can say we did it.

Thanks Hannah, glad you enjoyed our Quackery:Dark side of Medicine tour. Totally different from our day tour. Our guides try to make it easier to take in the dark side of medicine.
