Wonderful Experience!!! - We just completed a 2 day tour of St. Augustine for our school group with Ancient City. Everything went so smoothly!!! The schedule ran on time and was well organized. The trip guides were knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Rob truly went above and beyond helping and advising us on weather (there was a dangerous tropical system passing through in the area that was affecting our safety driving home), and I watched how sweet Lisa was when my own daughter was scared by the ghost tour and she talked patiently to her to help reassure and calm her!!! I highly highly recommend Ancient City. I do want to note that at times communicating before booking was sometimes slow and I almost didn’t book with them, but I realize now it’s due to the extreme level of detail and communication they provide while you are actually there!!! They’re just extremely busy, but they are good on their word! I cannot say enough good things about how well our trip went!!!

Fabulous trip - What a fabulous tour we had! We consisted of 21 kids from Lantana Florida who were there on their safety patrol trip and I have to say Lisa our tour guide out did herself. Everything from the time we met until we had to say goodbye was absolutely perfect. There was not one hiccup. I would highly recommend Mover ancient city tours and ask for Lisa. Next time we come back up to the area, she is the person that I would call.

We had an AWESOME experience! - We had an awesome time with Lisa! She had so much knowledge and enthusiasm for the exhibits. The students were so engaged and interested in everything she had to say! In such a short amount of time, she formed a great relationship with our kids! Thanks, Lisa for an amazing experience they will never forget!

Ancient City Tours Is The BEST!!!! - Lisa, Christine, and Chief did such an amazing job with our 69 students ranging from 6th-9th grade. Lisa and Christine met us in Savannah and were our escorts for two days there. They were great at keeping us on schedule, helping us fill gaps in our itinerary, telling our bus drivers when and where to meet us, and keeping us all safe. When we transferred to St. Augustine Lisa brought Chief along for the ride. They were both very knowledgeable of the city. They kept our students engaged and formed a great relationship with them. When our week came to an end the students were so sad to tell Ms. Lisa goodbye. They were still talking about how awesome she was Monday morning when we got back to school. Thank you all for such an amazing trip. I look forward to many more adventures together!

Ghost Tour with Matt the Undertaker - My daughter who had just graduated from college and I spent four days in St. Augustine to celebrate and went on a Ghost Tour led by Matt the Undertaker the last evening we were there. It was the perfect ending to our trip! The Undertaker was a master storyteller and we were riveted the whole evening. I loved the history and backstories, too, that led to the ghost story. He was also very funny and added humor to the experience. It was a walking tour, but the walking was easy and not demanding. And there were opportunities to sit along the way. Highly recommend!

Ghostly Encounters Tour - Jan was our tour guide and she was absolutely fantastic. She made it the best tour my husband and I have been on in our 2, week long vacations here. The history, emotion, and excitement she brought forward was contagious. This is a must do tour if/when you visit St. Augustine. Hopefully you will be lucky enough to have Jan as your guide.
