What To Expect
1
Government House Museum
Government House dominates the west end of the Town Plaza, a unique Spanish land use component lying within a National Historic Landmark District. Along coasts, plazas were to begin at the waterfront - to see and to be seen. Since 1598, a government building has stood on this site with a view of the harbor landing, accommodating administrative headquarters and residences of colonial governors appointed by the Crowns of Spain, then Britain, then Spain again. After Spain ceded Florida to the United States in 1821, this current Government House served as a courthouse and briefly as a Capitol of the new Territory of Florida.
2
Plaza de la Constitucion
Historic park in the center of downtown St. Augustine. The original city plan was built out from this location. It is bordered by The Government House, the Cathedral Basilica, and the Bridge of Lions and Matanzas Bay. Spain's 1573 Law of the Indies, Leyes de los Indies, specified that colonial town plans set aside such a plaza for government, church and public use. Along coasts, plazas were to begin at the waterfront - to see and to be seen.

St. George Street
Visit some of our favorite vendors and discover the history of St. Augustine's most famous street.

This walking tour of Old Town sweet shops is a wonderful way to experience the charm of St. Augustine. From the moment our guide, Charlie greeted us at The Coffeeosity Shop to our farewells at the Plaza de Constitucion, we walked our way through history sampling some of the very best sweets made right here in St. Augustine. In addition to the interesting history commentaries Charlie presented along the route, we took home a delicious treat from each of the sweet shops we visited. Thank you, Charlie, for a fantastic tour! I highly recommend you join her for an unforgettable walking tour of St. Augustine.

I had the most wonderful tour with St. Augustine Experiences. It was a great tour and I had a fantastic time learning about the history of St. Augustine especially with being a chocolate lover. The take home bag of goodies was absolutely amazing! Keep your eye out for my next review because I am going to do the Beer Tour!!!
