We were able to enjoy a personal tour instead of just a ride around town. Learned a lot about the interesting history and people of St Augustine. Dave was a great host!

David is the best tour guide! He is extremely knowledgeable about the history of St. Augustine. He also is very interactive with his tour group. We had a great time and would recommend taking a tour with him. He even summoned the dolphins to give us a little show at the end of the tour. 😉

My tour guide, David, dressed the part and provided a great quantity of historical detail in a short period of time--1 1/2 hour tour. If your a historical buff, take this tour.

Doug_S

The history of St Augustine is so interesting. David did a wonderful job explaining it all to us. The weather was not optimal but we made the best of it.

To be honest, I signed up for this tour because the one that had numerous reviews on Tripadvisor was unavailable. However, I’m delighted with the selection I made. David was knowledgeable, informative, and entertaining. Just to be clear, this is a walking tour, and we did not actually enter any of the mentioned sites. However, the 90 minutes was full of interesting information and very enjoyable. A very good value.
