We too took the tour at Flagler and found it to be informative and worth while. Even if you don't take the tour walk around the building, enter the impressive courtyard, and stroll inside the former lobby for a good look. There is also a video inside that tells you some of the history. The tour costs a few bucks... more

My husband and I took the Flagler College tour while in St Augustine for labor day weekend. Can't say enough about the energetic student that gave the tour-she really was just as good as any "professional" guide we have experienced at museums around the world. The tour itself is about Henry Flaglers landmark hotel and how it is now used... more

The opulence of the era is so evident in the details of the architecture and artwork. You can see Tiffany glass windows, a clock and chandeliers that have been wired by Edison himself, and admire the beautiful gardens in the courtyard. What you don't get to see is any of the guest rooms as they were in the time the... more

This building that use to be a hotel is now a college and you can take tours of it. Very interesting!!. It would have been nice to see an actual guestroom that is now a dorm room on the tour. more

This is an incredible architectural gem...inside and out. The history of Flagler and his hotel is important to experience if you're staying in St. Augustine. more

Flagler College offers short tours of a few of their more well known buildings every day (possibly except sunday - not sure) on the hour until 3pm. The cost was $6/person (as of July 08) and was well worth the cost. Our guide was knowledgable and had some interesting stories about the history of this school. Plus, the cost of... more

The college grounds in general and now operating as a residence/diniing hall for Flagler College - the completely restored "Ponce de Leon" resort hotel - is an amazing glimpse into the "birth of Florida as a tourist destination" through the vision of Henry Flagler - the college's namesake. The opulence of "The Ponce" is beyond description as are it's surrounding... more

We had done our research and Flager College was in the top three places we wanted to visit during our four day vacation to St. Augustine. We were not disappointed. Although we would have liked to have been able to see some of the places where the actual students live and work, such as their library, visiting the dining hall,... more

While living in Jacksonville, I'd go to St Augustine at least once a month. I've seen the outside of Flagler College soooo many times, but never took the tour. Why would I want to tour the college? While visiting the 4th of July weekend, I decided to take the tour. Now all I can say now is "Why DID'NT I... more

Excellent tour by a student named Emily, done with knowledge and humor. Seeing the splendor of the old hotel may have been one of the real highlights of our vacation. more
