We enjoyed this walking tour around St. Augustine. Our guide, Kyle, gave us a great history, anecdotes and further recommendations for sight seeing or dining in the area. Highly recommended for getting a foundation for this charming city.

Julie_H

It was just our family on the tour, so it was like a private tour and we were able to get some "extras" focused on historical sites and stories we were most interested in. My 7 year old was a little bored but still mostly engaged, and overall it was a great tour!
