Our River boat experience was wonderful! The guide was personable and so knowledgeable about St Augustine. He is obviously proud of his town and shared many interesting facts, recommendations for other activities and dining experiences. Loved petting “Camper”! Definitely recommend for others and will return on our next St Augustine visit!
