Must do tour - Awesome tour! We've visited St Augustine several times but we learned so much from Kevin. The tour was about 2 miles but the pace was quite leisurely. The tour did take over 2 hours. You can peel off if you can't or don't want to spend that much time. Highly recommend.

Best historical tour in the U.S. - This tour was incredible. Our tour guide, Kevin, is one of the owners, and his historical knowledge of St. Augustine was unparalleled. His enthusiasm for history is infectious, and my daughter, who is not a history fan, loved the tour. Definitely recommend. It was one of the best history tours that I have ever done in any city. Thank you, Kevin! Much appreciated.

Amazing! - This tour was amazing! Kevin was extremely knowledgable, and answered all of our questions (which were a lot). The tour was enjoyable and informative- it allowed us to see many of the beautiful sights around the city while feeling like we had a better understanding of the significance of the city and its history. We were so glad we went on this tour rather than one of the bus tours, where we could learn more, ask questions, and see more of the city. We have already recommended this tour to all of our extended family!

Awesome guided walking tour of St. Augustine, Florida! - The walking tour with Spyglass Travel was fun and informative!! Our guide, Kevin was very knowledgeable about the history of St. Augustine and its development through the years. His conversation was engaging and often humorous, as he included facts about the industrial, as well as personal life of Henry Flagler. We enjoyed the walk and all the stops we made at various sites throughout the tour.

Informative and enjoyable - We enjoyed our tour very much. A very informative tour with a native of the area. Kevin is personable and readily takes questions from guests. Gives a good, un-sugar-coated history of St. Augustine and Florida from first European contact through Guided Age building of modern Florida and up to the present day.

Highlight of our trip - We absolutely loved our walking tour of St. Augustine with Kevin! He was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Saint Augustine. Our tour included seeing the beautiful churches and Ponce DeLeon hotel that Henry Flagler built in addition to learning how made his fortune and developed the entire community. He was not only thorough, but so interesting to listen to! We walked by and learned all about the Fort built in 1642, the Spanish, British, American, and French influences on the Saint Augustine. Our tour also included, talks of the waterfront, pirates and Native Americans. Kevin also recommended other tours, that would be great to see along with recommendations for dining. Honestly, it was the highlight of our trip.! We highly recommend!
