Secrets of Saint Augustine Historical Walking Tour
Description
Maybe you've taken one of the many tours offered in the wonderful city of St. Augustine previously. Would you like to hear about things you have NOT heard before? Learn something new for a change? Little secrets not usually talked about? Perhaps you will know some of them but pretty certain not all of them. This is not your typical "history" tour. You will hear about, and be shown, things on a variety of topics from history, crime, our many dead, buildings, plans, myths and truths. Group size limited to 12 for a more personal, intimate experience. This will take you little over a mile of walking, in the historic downtown area, and last about an hour. Tour takes place rain or shine.

Itinerary
This is a general reference, as we will talk about the surrounding areas and history.
Why was this church built and by whom? What is it's significance?
Yes we will generally talk about this place but also many areas around it and the secrets it holds. Many locations are not recognize on this app format so are not listed.
This and the entire plaza area have many significant points of interest to talk about
Sea wall, dock, bridge all have interesting tidbits
There are probably at lest 2 dozen stops/subjects on this tour and because many of them are topics or 'secrets', they are not something the map will recognize to put here. Plus we don't want to give it all away ;)

Laura gave us the history as we walk through the old city. Very knowledgeable. Not as much walking as I expected.
I hope that's a good thing with not as much walking as you expected. LOL :D Your kind review is much appreciated, Thank You!! Laura
Fabulous and so much richer than a big group tour! Stories were woven throughout the history. We heard what was not on standard tours. So goi g on a big tour and this tour was not a repeat of information.
This is exactly why we keep tour sizes smaller and design them to be engaging and unique--to give guests the BEST possible experience. Thank you so very much for your feedback. It is invaluable, just like you, a cherished guest!
Kelly was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable and encouraged questions. The walk was easy. I recommend it!
Awesome! So glad you had a wonderful time. Thank you for the feedback. :D
The tour was great with local history and knowledge. The tour was delayed for the parade, which made the experience much more meaningful.
Thank you much for the great feedback. I’m so glad we got to still make it work for your group! It was a pleasure 😊 Laura

Laura was very kind and knowledgable. She is thoughtful about the information she shares — it’s not just information you read on the monuments around town.

We had a great time. By the time we did this we had been on a few tours, however, walking is a very different perspective. The guide had lots of knowledge and answered all of the questions. The guide seemed to enjoy doing this..
I DO enjoy this! lol I'm glad that comes across. I'm just as interested in all this info which is why I got into it to begin with. Interest and research. ;) Thanks very much for leaving your thoughts here. And I'm so glad you had a great time! Blessings,. . . Laura
