My son 18 y.o. son had taken this tour on a fourth grade field trip. It made such an impression on him that his face lit up when I asked him if he would like to go again. (If you have a teen-aged boy you know what a miracle that is!). It did NOT disappoint. This is not the dressed... More

This tour was so interesting and fun! We had Alan, who was enthusiastic and incredibly knowledgeable. The worst part of this tour was that it had to end. It may not be the thing for people who aren't into history, but even in that case, it was definitely not the typical droning historical tour; We were cracking up the whole... More

The tour guide Alan is very personable and entertaining. The tour gives you all the facts that won't make it to the historical marker. You learn what you came for and a little more. Ps. Alan has a few good pointers on restaurants and shops you should visit if you want a good meal or entertainment. More

The tour was very entertaining and informative, my girlfriend and I went expecting some ghost stories and just random facts about St. Augustine but were presently surprised. Alan, our tour guide, was very enthusiastic about the REAL history of St. Augustine and stressed that their tour contained all 100% truthful facts whereas the other "ghost tours" just contained old fake...

Great tour!!!! Allen was very knowledgable with a wonderful personality. Wasn't one of those tours that fabricate or beef it up with lies. Being who I am I actually researched many of the stories the day after the tour and they were all spot on. Went with a date and it was just an all around great time. Learned a... More
