Advised by hotel of amazing opportunity to visit St Augustine with Gray Line. Trip certainly ticked all the boxes for us. Driver was extremely knowledgeable and was well able to gauge how much info to give. At destination ensured we were well briefed on area etc. Felt totally comfortable in his care. The pre trip briefing, including a photo of pick up point, was of a high standard. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable day and experience with Gray Line. Would certainly use again should be opportunity arise.

I could not have asked for a more perfect day. The driver picked me up right on time at the perfect location to my hotel, even though the day started very early. I was able to take a long nap on the two hour ride to Saint augustine. St. Augustin is quite an amazing place with a lot of history that I was totally unaware of, but thanks to our trolley driver , he was a wealth of information and also made it a lot of fun with his light-hearted personality. I had a wonderful lunch, which was a lobster roll to die for, and a bowl of clam chowder. There are so many places to choose from. Our bus driver was very helpful by pointing us in the right direction and helping us to get the most out of our day. I would definitely recommend this tour. As a great outing. Through TripAdvisor.😊

A must see! The driver was fantastic, he delayed our drive by 30 minutes to wait for another couple and even went driving around the city looking for them! Driver was obviously knowledgeable and got our tickets, sorted everything the passengers needed, gave us rest stops and alerted us when to return.

The day was excellent and the communication with pick up times were excellent. The knowledge and care given by our guide Oscar was first class. Thank you and would definitely book again.
