Excellent tour - This was our favorite tour of the day. Molly was fantastic. This tour gave a fascinating look into daily life in 1908. Seriously, who doesn’t wish they had a goat-powered machine.

Entertaining and educational experience! - Virgil was a great guide through this experience. He was very entertaining and the experience was a lot of fun. You get to see an Old General Store as it would have been set up as old merchandise is shown off “for sale”. Overall it was unique, fun and educational. I’d recommend if you enjoy historical reenactments or have an interest in how people lived in the past!

Nicholas was super salesman at Old Store - We toured the Oldest Store Museum at the Old Town Trolley and had a blast. Our guide, Nicholas, was a deep voiced, salesman who tried to sell us appliances from the early 1900s. He allowed my grand-kids to help demonstrate the items. It's amazing to see what life was like in 1908. Nicholas did a great job in making that clear.

The Oldest Store...go back in time. - Orville was the best guide taking us back in time at the Oldest Store. We saw products from the 1800's and it was great to get a sample of what life was like back then. Orville was very helpful and informative my family and I had an excellent time.

Couples Outing Downtown - Orville was an amazing tour guide. He was both humorous and informative, while engaging actively with those on his tour. I learned a lot about the history of a general store and its contents as it would have been back in 1908. The objects were authentic, not replicas, which made the tour even better. I had a great time.

Step Back in Time - Very unique and interesting tour! The tour guide was dressed as a shop keeper would have been back in the day and was both informative and comical. The store had a HUGE inventory and the mechanical props were a fun touch. We especially enjoyed seeing a penny farthing actually lowered from the ceiling! If you love history, put this tour on your to do list in St. Augustine!

Cool Old General Store - We enjoyed seeing all of the old items in the store and hearing about the history of some of them. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and funny. We appreciated him and the free candy sticks!

Old Time Store - A lot of interesting antiques are housed here. It is a guided tour with a shopkeeper. He tries to "sell" you lots of stuff that was popular in the era. Loved the noiseless milk shake machine and the vanity that was rejected by Mr. Flagler. The best of all is the goat powered washing machine.
