5.00Since we two were the only members of the tour, we were given a "heightened history" knowledge of old St. Augustine, it's remarkable Spanish history, and the advent of the railroad-driven tourism age. Our guide was patient with our questions and passionate about the subject matter. Highly recommend!!

5.00Kevin is an awesome guide. Very know and he told so many interesting stories. Tip: Bring water. St. Augustine is beautiful but gets warm in the summer. With so many stories the tour ran long. Kevin did tell us that at the beginning, and told us he wouldn't be offended if we needed to leave before it was finished. I only wish I had more time to stay because I would have liked to have taken the Ghost tour too.
Great tour
