Our experience was fun! Our guide, Rob, was fun, knowledgeable, entertaining and was sensitive to what his guest wanted to see. The experience was comfortable and accommodating from warm blankets to ward off the breeze to asking us what type of music we would like to listen to. I would recommend this tour to everybody!
Handsome Bob is a WINNER!

Oneof the very best!!! Handsome Bob does a fantastic tour! Not only do you get to see the Christmas lights of downtown, he takes you off the beaten path to see some of the most gorgeous niehborhood homes with elaborate displays and 12, yes TWELVE, Christmas Story leg lamps! Handsome Bob's history and story telling are interesting AND entertaining. This is a FIVE STAR PLUS PLUS!

It was unexpectedly cold, but they had blankets for us in the golf cart. The 3-D glasses were cute. The elves were the best. We saw a little elf head around every bulb- including headlights and stoplights. Our driver/guide, Rob was great.

An extensive informative and wonderful experience with Rob our driver. We were able to go to areas that that large trolley can’t get to. He was great and I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting St. Augustine.

Our driver, handsome Rob was very knowledgeable of the history of St. Augustine and knew where to find the homes decorated up for Christmas and the "must see list" of businesses and local areas. The staff at the check in was fantastic! Gave us great site seeing tips and let us know that it "snows" at 7:00 pm nightly across from the building. The electric cart was quiet so you could hear our driver and the holiday music he played. Really enjoyed the blankets provided to keep us warm. Nice touch as it was very chilly! Highly recommend this tour!

The only glitch was in not knowing WHERE to check in for the tour. The tour itself was tremendous. Rob, (preface: HANDSOME Rob) was a very well informed, entertaining guide to the city and its history in addition to the lights.
