Historievandring i St. Augustine
Beskrivelse
Træd ind i 460 års historie på den mest populære gåtur i St. Augustine. På denne engagerende lille gruppe oplevelse, udforske Amerikas ældste by med en kunnig lokal guide, der er delvist historiker og delvist ny ven og bringer gaderne, bygninger og historier til live. Oplev hvordan fem forskellige flag engang fløj over Castillo de San Marcos og formede byens unikke fortid. Gå langs den historiske havn, nyd udsigten over det ældste murværk i USA og udforsk det ældste gadesystem i landet. Undervejs vil du lære om de mennesker, der efterlod deres mærke på St. Augustine, herunder Juan Ponce de León, Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, Henry Flagler og Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Designet til at orientere dig til byen, giver denne tur dig sammenhæng og tillid til at udforske St. Augustine på egen hånd efter turen, og vi fremhæver også vores yndlingssteder at spise og drikke undervejs i "Best Food Town i syd"!

Start din St. Augustine historiske vandretur på den ældste gade i Amerika! Mød din guide og de andre gæster for at få en oversigt over, hvad du vil dække i de næste 90 minutter
Plaza de la Constitución ligger i centrum af vores historiske by. Omkranset af Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine, Trinity Episcopal og Government House, plazaen vender ud mod Lions Bridge og har en central pavillon, der bruges til byens begivenheder, private begivenheder og live underholdning.
Mens vi vandrer langs vandet, vil vi diskutere den ældste stående fort i det kontinentale USA!
Over 200 år gammel blev porten bygget i 1808, men dens historie går endnu et hundrede år tilbage, da St. Augustine blev angrebet af den karolinske guvernør James Moore og hans tropper.
Byens rygrad, St. George Street i St. Augustine, er en færdselsåre, der kun er til fodgængere med restauranter, butikker, attraktioner og omgivet af historie.
St. Photios Græsk Ortodokse National Shrine, er dedikeret til den første koloni af græske, italienske og minorkanske folk, der kom til New Smyrna i 1768. Helligdommen består af udstillinger, der skildrer livet for disse middelhavsindvandrere i Florida og deres ankomst til St. Augustine i 1777.
Det tidligere Ponce de Leon Hotel var et eksklusivt luksushotel i St. Augustine, Florida, bygget af millionærudvikleren og Standard Oil-medstifter Henry M. Flagler og færdigbygget i 1888. Hotellet blev designet i den spanske renæssancestil som den første store projekt af New York arkitektfirmaet Carrère & Hastings, som ville fortsætte med at vinde verdenskendthed.

The tour with Amy was fantastic! She was friendly, funny and very knowledgeable. She did a great job giving us chronological context and was able to answer all of our questions. It was also pretty hot and she was sensitive to that by getting us in the shade whenever possible. It felt like she really loved sharing her city.
It is a great tour. I learned so much. I recommend that you go back to that places that interested you and do their separate tours, so the info sticks in your memory! Oh, take your water, it is really hot!
Incredibly knowledgeable about Civil rights movement in St Augustine. Great restaurant recommendations and fun facts about the community
Russ is fabulous tour guide and he has incredible knowledge and stories that you won't hear on a typical tour or tram ride.
Amy was an outstanding walking tour guide in St. Augustine! She is incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s rich history and has a real gift for storytelling that kept our whole group completely engaged from start to finish. She took us to the best spots and pointed out so many fascinating little details we would have completely missed on our own. Her passion for St. Augustine really shines through and made the experience so much more meaningful. Even in the blazing 100-degree heat, Amy was a total trooper — energetic, positive, and professional the entire time. This tour is the perfect way to truly get to know St. Augustine. Highly recommend booking with Amy if you want an unforgettable and informative experience. We loved every minute of it! Thank you, Amy!
Alex was such a fun and engaging guide. He knew and conveyed so much history in such a fun way that all of us, including our teen daughters, were enthralled. He was very pleasant and fun and gave us so much additional cultural information as well as great food, drink, and activity recommendations. Don’t miss this tour - totally worth it! Thanks Alex!!
Very enjoyable and informative! Russ was a funny, well-versed guide. Highly recommend this tour for all!
What an amazing experience! I learned so much about historic St. Augustine - from the influence of the Spanish, French, and British to Henry Flager’s many contributions to St. Augustine’s place in our nation’s civil rights story. Russ was incredibly knowledgeable, entertaining, patient, and funny! We would love to sign up again. I highly recommend this amazing experience. I now look at St. Augustine with new eyes.
Russ is an outstanding guide. He is above and beyond. As a resident he knows the people, places, and sights of St. Augustine. We are looking forward to seeing Russ again. He showed us hidden gems that we might of overlooked. His knowledge of the local restaurants was amazing. We came back that evening to have dinner at one of his recommendations.
My wife and I had a fantastic time on the St. Augustine History waking tour! Our guide Evan was very informative. As an anthropology graduate from Flagler College, right at historic St. Augustine, he was passionate about the area history and shared many interesting facts. Evan also shared info on his favorite eateries- there are so many! We would recommend this about 1.5 hour tour to anyone! Good idea to do it very early during your stay to get ideas for the remainder of your trip! Also early in the morning for good parking choices and lower temperatures! Cheers! Bob & Annette
