Very knowledgeable about local history. Made very interesting and thorough . Amy gave excellent recommendations for other local activities and restaurants as well.
Great oratory on history. And satisfaction with great restaurant recommendations. Definitely enjoyed the experience
There is so much history from the Spanish colonial through the Civil Rights era in St. Augustine that I highly recommend this walking tour to orient oneself with the town and its stories. You cannot possibly experience the same level of connection on a train or cart tour. Russ also recommended places to dine and check out along the way! Highly recommend, 5 stars.
Evan was a great tour guide. It was refreshing to see someone so excited about history. He was very personable—it was like taking a walk with a friend with the added bonus of learning something. I highly recommend.
Our tour guide, Evan was very knowledgeable and personable! He gave a great overview of the history of St. Augustine along with lots of great restaurant tips.

This tour was a home run from start to finish. This was our first visit to St Augustine and Alex gave us numerous reasons to return. Cpuld not have been happier.
Evan guided the tour all around the main area of St. Augustine. You could tell he’s fascinated with the history, a true St. Augustine history maven. It was quite hot outside, but he was super considerate to find shade at each location.
If you want an in-depth history lesson alongside amazing food recommendations, I cannot recommend this tour enough!
The tour with Amy was fantastic! She was friendly, funny and very knowledgeable. She did a great job giving us chronological context and was able to answer all of our questions. It was also pretty hot and she was sensitive to that by getting us in the shade whenever possible. It felt like she really loved sharing her city.
It is a great tour. I learned so much. I recommend that you go back to that places that interested you and do their separate tours, so the info sticks in your memory! Oh, take your water, it is really hot!
Incredibly knowledgeable about Civil rights movement in St Augustine. Great restaurant recommendations and fun facts about the community
Russ is fabulous tour guide and he has incredible knowledge and stories that you won't hear on a typical tour or tram ride.
Very enjoyable and informative! Russ was a funny, well-versed guide. Highly recommend this tour for all!
What an amazing experience! I learned so much about historic St. Augustine - from the influence of the Spanish, French, and British to Henry Flager’s many contributions to St. Augustine’s place in our nation’s civil rights story. Russ was incredibly knowledgeable, entertaining, patient, and funny! We would love to sign up again. I highly recommend this amazing experience. I now look at St. Augustine with new eyes.
Russ is an outstanding guide. He is above and beyond. As a resident he knows the people, places, and sights of St. Augustine. We are looking forward to seeing Russ again. He showed us hidden gems that we might of overlooked. His knowledge of the local restaurants was amazing. We came back that evening to have dinner at one of his recommendations.
Absolutely incredible- Alex was a wealth of knowledge and you could tell that he really enjoyed the city and the rich history. He altered the pace to account for my mother and provided water breaks as well.
Excellent historical information, our tour guide Evan was very pleasant and informative. He is a dog lover so bring your dog !!
Russ was our tour guide and he was amazing. Very knowledgeable about everything!! Highly recommend. We were the only ones on the tour that morning, so, we got some extra attention which was great.
Alex was full of knowledge on St. Augustine and a such a delight. I recommend this tour for anyone looking to learn and get entertained. It’s perfect for all ages.
My wife and I had a great time walking through the city with Evan - he was an excellent guide and we learned lots of interesting historical facts about St Augustine. He had a true passion for the history and really enjoyed being the host. Highly recommend. Nick and Jan.
Very enjoyable and very informative. Evan was well prepared and personable. Would recommend to others.
Russ was a fantastic guide—very knowledgeable with great stories and fun jokes! Lots of interesting places to see!! Don’t miss out!
I would say it was up close and personal. We are very fortunate to have the guide for just myself and my husband and we went on such a superior tour. I don’t know but could only hope others have the same experience as we did. We went with a young man named Evan, who was an expert in history and kept us entertained with stories, etc..
Evan did a great job. He truly knew St. Augustine’s history. I’d love to come back for an African American history tour if it were ever made available.
Had a good time and learned quite a bit about St Augustine. Our tour guide was very informative and answered all questions directed to him.
