Step into 460 years of history on the most popular walking tour of St. Augustine.
On this engaging small-group experience, explore America’s oldest city with a knowledgeable local guide who is part-historian and part-new friend and brings the streets, buildings, and stories to life. Discover how five different flags once flew above the Castillo de San Marcos and shaped the city’s unique past.
Walk along the historic harbor, take in views of the oldest masonry fort in the United States, and explore the oldest grid street system in the country. Along the way, you’ll learn about the people who left their mark on St. Augustine, including Juan Ponce de León, Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, Henry Flagler, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Designed to orient you to the city, this tour gives you the context and confidence to explore St. Augustine on your own after the walk, and we also highlight our favorite spots to eat and drink along the way in the "Best Food Town in the South"!

5.00Alex is great at his job and is clearly in LOVE with St Augustine - he made us all love his city. Showed us history, architecture and secret places. It was so fun, I signed up for the Food Tour the next day. Definitely go on a tour with St Augustine Experiences.

5.00We had a large family reunion. Alex was amazing and so accommodating to our large group. I reached out to him before booking and he was extremely responsive. He led half of our group and it was so informative, a wealth of knowledge and a passion for St. Augustine. His colleague led the other half of our group and they were equally as pleased and satisfied. I would highly recommend this tour, or any tour by Alex and team in the area!

5.00It was so informative and my family and I learned so much just in a short 1 hour and 30 minute tour! Alex was the best! He texted us so many amazing restaurant recommendations so we’d be able to finish our stay with some great food!

3.00This is a wonderful Saint Augustine history tour for civil rights topics. However, I would not recommend this tour for the history of Saint Augustine as a city..
Must do this.

5.00Had an absolutely fantastic experience on the Saint Augustine walking tour, and a huge part of that was thanks to our guide, Alex. He was incredibly knowledgeable and brought the city’s history to life with engaging stories, fascinating details, and a perfect balance of facts and humor. What really stood out was Alex’s vibe and energy — he was upbeat, passionate, and genuinely excited to share Saint Augustine with us, which made the entire tour feel fun and immersive rather than just informative. He answered questions thoughtfully and made everyone feel included and comfortable. This tour gave me a much deeper appreciation for the city, and it wouldn’t have been the same without Alex. Highly recommend this walking tour, and if you can, definitely try to book with him as your guide!
Must do in St. Augustine!
