Evan was an excellent guide. We learned a lot and enjoyed it thoroughly. Evan had interesting stories as well as great understanding of the city’s history. He even gave us some good dining suggestions.
Liz_M, Apr 2026
Evan was knowledgeable and entertaining. Saw some interesting sites. I would recommend that the guide use a microphone. When walking forward, if we were at the back of the group we could not hear his comments.

Ross shared about important history in St. Augustine. We followed up on several of his recommendations. Had an amazing dinner at the Drunken Horse restaurant. Went to see Cora Tyson's house. Next door to her house is the ACCORD Civil Rights museum which had a meet and greet the next day that we attended. Extraordinary visit with eyewitnesses to the events in 1964 in St. Augustine that helped push the Civil Rights Act through a filibuster in congress. Also toured Flagler College.

Great experience to walk around the central district to learn facts about the city of St. Augustine, its founding and the important people that impacted the growth of this city!

Alex and St. Augustine Experiences was incredibly informed, his tour was obviously well-researched, and his communication was super helpful. I learned so much on this 90-minute walking tour, but the pace felt fun, interesting, and animated without ever feeling like a school history lesson. I appreciated the blend of architecture, history, social justice, and economics that Alex brought to this tour. I would absolutely take advantage of a tour that Alex offered in any city! The cherry on top were his text messages with recommendations for the best spots for drinks, dining, and dessert in the city. We took his recommendation for lunch and dessert and could not be happier. Thanks for an amazing experience, Alex!

Alex D was amazing. So enthusiastic about history of St Augustine. Well researched and wanted us to really understand the uniqueness of this city. He made sure to tell us also about restaurants and pubs that he enjoys and that makes experience special. He is very knowledgeable and clearly enjoys being a tour guide

If you want to gain historical insights about St. Augustine and find some treasures all with a guide who keeps you laughing, this is the tour to take. My wife and I both felt this was the highlight of our time in St. Augustine.

It was super casual but very informative. Lots of stops along the way at places you would just walk past without a tour guide. Lots of history of the town as well as recommendations of things to do and places to visit.

Mark_S, Mar 2026
Amy was a superb guide. Her enthusiasm and knowledge of St. Augustine and its history really made the tour one of our best. She allowed us to go at our own pace and linger on some of the interesting locations. At the end of the tour, she even offered to share her recommendations for good restaurants in the area.
Gary_M, Mar 2026
Do not go into any homes , museums or fort. Russ was very knowledgeable and definitely knew the area.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for the kind words about Russ! We’re very lucky to have guides like him who are so passionate and knowledgeable about St. Augustine.
As a small, family-run company that pours a lot of heart into these tours, feedback like this can be a little tough for us to read. Nowhere in our tour descriptions on our website or any third-party booking platforms do we state that the tour includes entering museums, historic homes, landmarks, or the fort.
Our 90-minute History Tour is designed to cover more than 460 years of St. Augustine’s story in a short amount of time. It’s meant to be a fun and engaging overview of the city while exploring the historic district on foot.
Many guests enjoy using the experience as a great introduction to the city, and along the way we also point out favorite restaurants, landmarks, and historic sites so visitors can decide what they’d like to explore more deeply afterward.
Steven_N, Mar 2026
Guide was very knowledgeable. Learned a lot. The length of the tour was just right. Great way to start our stay in StcAugustine
Teresa_S, Mar 2026
Very interesting. Worth the time. Wear comfortable shoes. Some cobblestone streets are uneven. Plan extra time after tour to walk along St. George st and other quaint side streets. Plenty of good restaurants eat lunch or dinner or for a refreshing cocktail.
Michael_H, Mar 2026
Great tour that included a look at history throughout the years, not just one era. Bart was a fantastic tour guide who mixed professionalism, knowledge and humor to deliver a great experience
Reju_G, Mar 2026
It was a history filled, informative tour of a charming city with a storied past, with a significant role in the history of our nation.
Cheryl_W, Mar 2026
Alex was very informative & interesting; he gave a great walking tour of the highlights of St Augustine’s historical district. Alex showed highlights but also little known unique parts of the district. We learned so much in our hour & half. Very highly recommended!

An informative and interesting tour full of historical facts and fun antidotes.
