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.

Ann Colby is a fountain of knowledge about both the past and present Wickedness in the Ancient City of St. Augustine. No matter what questions thrown at her, she had a ready answer - as well as COLD water, mosquito spray which kept them at bay and smelled good. Special touches that really speaks to her attention to detail and the customer satisfaction. Highly recommended.

First off, Ann is a master story teller. The Wicked St Augustine tour was my favorite tour of the many I have taken throughout my visits to St Augustine. Ann actually wrote the book that this tour is based on so you get an inside look at all the time and research she put in. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a true account of the things that went on in this town from the 1500's till the early 1900's. I loved every minute of it.
