Mark was our tour guide. He is a retired History teacher, so you know this is his jam!
He brings dates, humor, interesting facts, and photo opportunities to the tour. We could have gone another hour!
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your tour with Marc. His background as a history teacher definitely shines through — he loves sharing his knowledge (and humor!) to make St. Augustine’s past come alive. We’re so glad you had fun and could’ve stayed even longer! Hope to see you again soon for another adventure.

This was an AMAZING experience with our tour guide Karen. She was so knowledgeable and pointed out some great spots- even though we’d been to St. Augustine before - this is totally worth it.

Karen was a joy to have a an ambassador for our tour of st augustine! As first time visitors, we learned so much about the city and it's history. We loved being on a private tour which allowed us a much more personal experience. Would highly recommend this tour and Karen!!!

Jennifer_L, Jul 2024
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our tour! Our tour guide was very friendly and informative and the ticket prices were reasonable. Perfect introduction tour to the city!
Brian_P, Jul 2024
We traveled with eight family members plus an infant, nine total. They even worked out a special consideration for a wheelchair. Our tour guide gave us time to load our family member and put the chair back in the vehicle they even asked for special permission to pick him up in a more convenient position, which was granted by all parties.
Our tour guide was awesome, really made the tour special, and it was engaging from start to finish. It was so nice to have a private tour with just our family. We felt comfortable,, and we all learned something new about the history of Saint Augustine.
We will do this again and we would recommend it highly to anyone. It was actually perfect.
MarthaC_A, Jun 2024
This tour set the stage for properly enjoying, exploring, and understanding Saint Augustine. I highly recommend this tour.
Jenny_E, May 2024
Karen is an exceptional storyteller and guide. She brought St. Augustine to life through vidid and thorough accounts of the city’s history. She’s extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The tour is private and well worth the slightly higher price tag. You’ll leave informed and be engaged the entire time. Perfect for anyone with mobility issues as you’re riding the whole time. Great way to get a lay of the land with added context.
Janelle_M, May 2024
Karen was so knowledgeable!! We loved our tour. We had a group of 8 and it was just our family. It was the perfect amount of time as well.
Sherry_D, May 2024

Our guide, Karen, was so knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. Our whole group enjoyed the entire tour! Absolutely a MUST when visiting St Augustine!
Jenelle_N, Mar 2024
Mark was funny and educational! Great tour ! Living in the area we had never been on a tour, and we had totally missed out. For the price this was a great deal for our group of 10.
Amy_B, Mar 2024
Karen was fantastic! The tour was so informative, fascinating and a great way to see the city. Would definitely recommend!
Barbara_B, Feb 2024
Karen was so knowledgeable about Saint Augustine. Her tour was informative and fun! Three generations on tour all loved it, Wonderful relaxing way to learn about the cities history and see the sites without driving or parking.
Bethany_P, Feb 2024
Andy was so knowledgeable abou the history of the area. He was great with the grandkids and worked around traffic so we got the best of experiences. I would request him if I were to go again. Very worth it!
Grace_W, Jan 2024
Karen was absolutely phenomenal. She went above and beyond. Her knowledge of not just Saint Augustine but the history of Spain, the New World as a whole, how world history impacted Florida through the ages, even modern history of the area… absolutely blew us away. Our children are sixth generation natives, and we are knowledgeable about the area, and she taught us things! This is the best way to see and understand the beautiful gem of Florida's First Coast. We could not recommend this tour or this tour guide any more highly. 10 stars!
April_S, Jan 2024
Karen was very knowledgeable, we really enjoyed our historical tour, learned and saw a lot. Cart was comfortable too.
Julie_W, Jan 2024
Our guide Karen was spectacular! We loved how she shared the history timeline from the beginning when Ponce de Leon landed, then through historical events, places, time, and people. Her narrative was easy to follow. She certainly had studied and researched St. Augustine. She was genuinely excited about the history and events that took place. I have lived in SA for ten years and taken many friends on different tours but Karen made this one exceptional. Having a small private tour was the best way to tour the city.
Tolly_E, Dec 2023
Our tour guide, Mark, was extremely knowledgeable and very funny. We all learned a lot and everyone said the tour was the highlight of our trip to St Augustine.
Rosalyn_S, Dec 2023
Fascinating, informative and authentic tour of St. Augustine. I was amazed at how much Karen packed into an hour and fifteen minutes. It was nice to be driven to various key places around St. Augustine that we would never have made it to without the tour. It was obvious Karen loves her job and very concerned with the authenticity of the information she shares. I really want to see that complete ship unearthed and intact. And the info on MLK’s visits and actual march was fascinating. Really, a very complete tour of the beginning of St. Augustine and significant events in the timeline of the city. Just terrific,! Well worth every penny!
Sandy_W, Aug 2023
Enjoyed this tour of St. Augustine! Tour driver was very knowledgeable of the area, we learned a lot of the history, and he answered all our questions, even went out of his way to show us more of the churches we were interested in.
Andrea_F, Jun 2023
Tour guide was excellent. So much good information and stories. On time, answered all questions. A perfect tour.
Carolyn_J, Jun 2023
The knowledge of our driver was outstanding. The history of St. Augustine came alive. He told us the history of places that we visited that we would never had known.
