We loved the free walking tour! Adam was such a great guide - very knowledgeable, upbeat, and also considerate (whenever we stopped, he would find a shady spot for everyone to stand and listen to him). Also, at the end of the tour, he gave us a list of his favorite restaurants. We ate at several ones that he recommended and lived them! Highly recommend this tour!
Adam was very nice and knowledgeable guide.
My husband and I drove in from Tampa on the first morning of our vacation to do this walking tour. We hit a little bit of traffic and ended up running just a few minutes late. Our guide reached out to us and made sure we were still on our way instead of leaving us behind. So grateful that he did! He was so knowledgeable about the history of the city and all the best spots to stop so we could be in the shade while he talked. I am very physically active and my husband is moderately so and neither of us had any issues keeping up with the group. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to know a little more about the city and get the lay of the land.
Loved the history Adam was very pleasant & knowledgeable.. good sense of humor
I took a walking tour with Adam. He was very knowledgeable of the history of St Augustine. He was also very conscientious of shade and places to sit for a moment. He was able to answer questions, and customized the tour to the group. I would definitely recommend!
It was great to learn so much about the city and the places you pass by everyday.
This was a great tour. Adam did a fantastic job highlighting many interesting and historical sites of St Augustine.
We had a great tour with Adam. He was very knowledgeable on the history and current happenings of St. Augustine. He met us on time and was very considerate in finding shaded spots along the way. We did not feel rushed and he answered all questions. Definitely a great guide!!
Best way to see St Augustine is on foot with a well informed guide. In a trolley you speed buy sites with no extra time for questions.
This was such an incredible way to start the day before the tourist spots all got busy and so we could walk freely as a group without being too hot or crowded. I loved getting all the context of the city's history from a local, as you walk from the visitor's center to the city center where the museums are. About a 15 min walk if you did it without stopping, so it's easy to loop back and see things you want to explore more of. Our guide was AMAZING, and it's so cool you can find these walking tours for free. Our guide let us take a pic of restaurant recs at the end too, so we gave him a nice tip! Please do this. So grateful we did this.
