The fort is very easy to find in old town St Augustine. It is very cool to walk around the ancient stone fortress. It also gives insight into the lives of the settlers, and the constant foes, from pirates to the English to Mosquitos, that they had to face on a regular basis.

We had time to kill and took the scenic walk around this marvelous fort. The sites were incredible and gave you a peek first hand at part of the Oldest City in the USA. Marvelous!!

The Castillo do San Marcos is fantastic! It's full of history; and the volunteers make the experience even better.

I enjoyed learning about the unique make up... More

Nice history lesson to learn about St Augustine and how it all began. A must see when in the area. Also, a very beautiful way to spend several hours of your day with wonderful views

My recommendation is to attend the "talk" so that a park ranger can explain the history of the attraction to you. You will learn so much more about the attraction than reading the pamphlet that they hand you at the... More

Had fun touring fort. Only issue I had with the tour is it is self guided and you have to read every display. No guides provided by National Park.
