“Nice way to see the town and learn about history. Nice way to tour without a car to hop on and hop off all day in the city”
A family-friendly St. Augustine ghost tour that mixes cemetery chills and Fort-era history, led by costumed guides. Rent tools if you dare.
“So glad we did this. Madame Jennifer was amazing as our tour guide! You can tell that she has a passion for St Augustine and we enjoyed all the sites and great stories of “old” friends.”
Narrated St. Augustine boat ride with photo stops, calm water views, and captain stories. Budget-friendly, pet friendly, often dolphins.
“The captain was personable and friendly. He shared his expansive knowledge of St. Augustine’s history/landmarks with passengers. This boat ride was a great way to see the main sights of the city. It was the perfect amount of time, too. We even saw dolphins! Just make sure you arrive on time to the boat because it departs promptly. Aim to arrive 30 minutes early to the ticket office and 10 minutes early to the boarding dock.”
A 3.5-hour St. Augustine wine and food walk with included tastings, cocktails, and guided stops through the city’s oldest landmarks.
“We would not recommend this tour and this is directly because of the tour guide Garry. He made us read an excerpt from a book about him, continued to talk about his 6 wives the entire tour and told us why he didn't deserve his past negative reviews. He ask us to rate him and tour in front of him and asked for a tip. When we didn't tip immediately he called to inform us the he hadn't received a tip yet. The worst part should have been that the historical facts he talked about were incorrect but the worst part was Garry!”

“I went on this tour with my husband late November and thoroughly enjoyed it. Kevin was a great guide. He’s a history buff with a knack for keeping the group interested in learning about the history of the place for two whole hours. He welcomes questions and goes above and beyond to answer them. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone visiting St Augustine.”
