Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgable. We wish this tour would have had a few more places of interest to visit but we understand the Covid has changed a lot of things. Overall ok.

Hello, Typically we cover the colonial history aspects around the Plaza as well as the hotels from the Flagler era. This is complemented with the boat tour so you can see the harbor area and all places of interests such the Fountain of Youth, Mision Nombre de Dios, etc. these additional sites we visit during our St Augustine Golf Cart Tours. A golf cart gives us more range so we get to visit more of the city.

Luis and his wife are so lovely and we are lucky to have chosen them to tour around historic St Augustine! We took a walking tour first and then cooled off on a boat ride around the harbor. I would definitely recommend them if you are looking for an adventure learning about the history of the oldest city. They made the tour personable and they are truly lovely people. Let's support our small local business!!!
