We were lucky to have Russ for a second time! We were the only 2 on the tour so he went out of his way to show us different places. The sweets were delicious and we even got a togo bag to take home the extras . Nice touch! Highly recommend this tour especially if you have a sweet tooth and ask for Russ!!!

Although our guide is not a native is St. Augustine he knows the history as if he was a native. He is also passionate about the history of the area. I will definitely recommend him to my friends.

Linda_T, Jul 2025
Alex was our guide and he was amazing! He was probably in the top two of all guides we have had and we do these tours wherever we travel. The sweets were also amazing and plentiful. We had a great time and when we come back we want to do the wine cocktails and food tour with Alex. Thanks so much!
Jeffrey_Z, Jun 2025
Our tour guide Alex provided great details of St. Augustine's history along with visits to local shops where we sampled exquisite sweets and were given additional sweets to enjoy later. Great tour for those who enjoy learning about history and have a sweet tooth.

They should know that Alex and his wife are masters at their craft! You will have an experience whether it be with food, wine, cocktails, delectable sweets, whatever but with a wonderful refreshing dose of ACCURATE total history. The time they put into their continued study and education is apparent! We were amazed!
Troy_B, Jan 2025

My husband, daughter and I had a spectacular tour with Alison, we had so many sweet treats while on our tour and brought home a bagful of additional treats from each visit! We learned interesting facts about such a wonderful town. Thank you! Highly recommend!!!

Diane_D, Jul 2023
We started with warm espresso brownie bites and ended with beautiful macaroons. The amazing chocolate we tasted as we toured and learned of St Augustine’s history in between. Our tour guide Robyn was amazing.
Rose_C, Jul 2023
Alex was an excellent tour guide. He is passionate about St. Augustine and you can tell he really loves what he does. We loved sampling sweets at each of the shops we stopped in, as well as learning about the rich history of St. Augustine. Would definitely do another tour with this company!
Michele_L, Jun 2023
This was one of the best tours I’ve ever been on. I enjoyed the mix of chocolates and sweets along with the history learned along the way. Debra was an awesome tour guide and very helpful to answer any questions we threw at her. Debra sent a text the morning of the tour which was great as I wasn’t sure about parking and I also knew who I would be meeting. The thermal bag and treats received were terrific. I recommend anyone who has a sweet tooth take this tour!
evelyn_H, Apr 2023
Alison was a fun, knowledgeable tour guide. It was more like taking a stroll through the city with a friend than a pre-planned tour. Very enjoyable.
Pam_H, Apr 2023
Loved our experience, the knowledge that Alison had of the area was incredible. We highly recommend her as your guide. Side note if she doesn’t know the answer she will get it for you AND comes with many recommendations for local eateries as well!
Johnny_M, Mar 2023
all the samples were delicious. We also got a few goodies to take home. They were not stingy with the amount of treats you got. Our tour guide, Robin, was great. We totally enjoyed it!
Cami_D, Mar 2023
Loved our guide, Debra! She was friendly and knowledgeable, pointing out spots that I never would’ve seen on my own! Would recommend this tour to anyone!!
David_B, Mar 2023
We liked going to the Ancient City Brunch Bar, the Flagler College swimming pool, and the Greek Orthodox Church. Alison was personable, very friendly, and knowledgeable. She went out of her way to recommend restaurants to us and even followed up with an email listing the restaurants after the tour. We enjoyed visiting places that were less well-known and places that were not highlighted on the trolley tour.
Paige_S, Feb 2023
Debra was a fabulous tour guide. She took our drink orders before arriving so we were able to begin our tour with our choice of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. St. Augustine history was woven into the stops at the different shops. We received SO MANY yummy treats along the way. Some to eat during the tour and others to savor later. I’ve done other food tours in the past and didn’t necessarily feel like I had gotten my money’s worth. Not the case for this tour! We received so many treats and a cute cooler bag I felt like we maximized our ROI. Don’t miss out on this fun tour!
Peter_M, Feb 2023
Great tour with Robyn…she was very knowledgeable about old town history, and also offered many suggestions for things to do in the area. One suggestion… schedule this tour early in your trip, as you will want to return to explore!
Elisa, Jan 2023
I arranged this experience for my husband, mother in law and a friend. The other people who were to join our group were not able to make it last minute so we had a fun, private tour. Robyn shared lots of information about the old, historic city while we popped into several sweets shops for a treat. My group had a lot of fun and they were pleasantly surprised at how much they learned! It was a great experience!
Michelle_M, Jan 2023
