    Our guides, Luis and Inez, were excellent, very personable and informative. We would enthusiastically recommend this tour.

    The boat ride was great! Bob did a great job telling us about St. Augustine from the water. Chip was great for the land tour. Advertised as walking, but was a trolley tour?

  • 01-Mar-2022

    The boat portion was scenic but very little narration. The pilot/captain gave the bare minimum. Our walking tour guide, Chip, on the other hand was very knowledgable & took us into several hotels, museums and Flagler College. We felt that we had a good handle on the various eras this city has gone through.

    Relaxing boat ride. Some info given, Not as much as I would’ve liked. The boat ride would’ve been the perfect opportunity to talk about the history of Augustine. The walking tour was very good and did give a lot of information. Our guide was very knowledgeable.

    By doing the tour! 30 minutes before departure the tour guide texted me to say tour cancelled! Disappointment resulted as from hotel to 170 St George is a 15 minute walk in the heat

    The tour guide Luis was exceptional, he made this tour worth the cost and we could have listened to the stories a while. The boat tour was refreshing and lovely on the top deck, there could have been more narrative by the captain there. Overall a really great time and we would recommend it!
