Wicked St. Augustine : contrebandiers, bordels et jeux d'argent dans l'ancienne ville

Aperçu

The Wicked St. Augustine tour delves into the unwritten history of the nation's oldest city. You will hear stories of the illicit industries that made the town a financial success, all while avoiding the reputation of a sinful city. From its founding St. Augustine had a thriving tavern, gambling and prostitution industry, even while portraying a city founded on religious principles. See the locations of high stakes gambling, speak easy taverns, and private clubs which skirted around the laws of the day, like prohibition. Learn how the political powers knew of these activities, secretly supported their providers, all while keeping a squeaky clean image.

The endless knowledge, presented in a story format, resulted in 3 hours of history being presented while seemingly only spending 1 hour. It did not matter that it rained on and off during the walk.

We had a fantastic time with Ann as a guide through the darker side of St Augustine. Very informative and she does not hold back on talking about the color of the town. And soooo much better than being trapped on a bus.
