Historisk vandringstur i St. Augustine
Beskrivning
Stig in i 460 års historia på den mest populära rundvandringen i St Augustine. På denna engagerande liten grupp upplevelse, utforska USA: s äldsta stad med en kunnig lokal Guide som är delvis historiker och delvis ny vän och ger gatorna, byggnaderna och berättelser till liv. Upptäck hur fem olika flaggor en gång vajade ovanför Castillo de San Marcos och formade stadens unika förflutna. Promenera längs den historiska hamnen, ta in utsikten över det äldsta murverksfortet i USA och utforska det äldsta rutnätsgatusystemet i landet. Längs vägen kommer du att lära dig om de människor som satte sin prägel på St Augustine, inklusive Juan Ponce de León, Pedro Menéndez de Avilés, Henry Flagler och Dr Martin Luther King Jr. Utformad för att orientera dig till staden, ger denna tur dig sammanhanget och självförtroende att utforska St Augustine på egen hand efter promenaden, och vi lyfter också fram våra favoritplatser att äta och dricka längs vägen i "Bästa matstaden i söder"!

Plaza de la Constitución ligger i centrum av vår historiska stad. Omgärdad av Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine, Trinity Episcopal och Government House, ligger torget mot Lions Bridge och har en central paviljong som används för stadsevenemang, privata evenemang och liveunderhållning.
När vi promenerar längs vattnet ska vi diskutera det äldsta stående fortet i kontinentala USA!
Porten var över 200 år gammal och byggdes 1808, men dess historia sträcker sig ytterligare hundra år tillbaka i tiden, när St. Augustine attackerades av den karolinske guvernören James Moore och hans trupper.
Stadens ryggrad, St. George Street i St. Augustine, är en genomfartsgata som endast är till för gågator, kantad av restauranger, affärer, sevärdheter och omgiven av historia.
St Photios grekisk-ortodoxa nationalhelgedom, är tillägnad den första kolonin av grekiska, Italienska och mindre folk som kom till Nya Smyrna 1768. Helgedomen består av utställningar som skildrar livet för dessa medelhavsinvandrare i Florida och deras ankomst till St Augustine 1777.
Det före detta Ponce de Leon Hotel var ett exklusivt lyxhotell i St. Augustine, Florida, byggt av miljonärsutvecklaren och Standard Oil-medgrundaren Henry M. Flagler och färdigställdes 1888. Hotellet designades i spansk renässansstil som den första stora projekt av New York-arkitektfirman Carrère & Hastings, som skulle fortsätta att vinna världsrykte.

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
