Very Worthwhile Tour - Great tour. Steve was a great guide. He had lots of interesting nuggets of information about St Augustine and we stopped at many interesting locations, some that you would not uncover by yourself. You see so much more on a walking tour than on a carriage tour or the little train tour.

One of the best history tours we’ve been on - We went on the history tour with Russ Saunders and it was outstanding. We probably walked a bit over a mile. Saw and learned about the early history of St Augustine (I.e, Spanish, English, Spanish again, and then American). Also, the impact of St Augustine on the Civil Rights movement. Learned about the Architecture and history of the building and infrastructure of the city. Couldn’t recommend this tour more highly.

Worth the walk! - Our tour guide, Steve, was on time for the tour. He walked us around for 90 minutes through nooks and crannies of the historic area. Steve was very knowledgeable about St Augustine. Definitely the historian type of individual, but not boring. He was well prepared with ponchos due to the recent inclement weather.
