Karen was a wonderful tour guide! Very informative! This was the best way to see the sights! Loved the smaller group size, it made the trip more enjoyable. So appreciative we could bring our two small pups along for the ride!

This was an excellent historic overview of St Augustine. It gave you the lay of the land. Our guide Karen Brady put a lot of research into her tour. Very friendly and welcoming. We highly recommend this tour especially if it is your first time to st augustine.

This was our first visit to St Augustine. We wanted a tour to see what this old city had to offer. My wife and I were both amazed at what we covered on our hour tour. Our tour guide, Karen, was most informative and was never at a loss for details during our tour. She covered centuries of info and details pertaining to what we saw in St. Augustine. It was a lot and very interesting. We will probably return to St. Augustine in the future and visit some of these areas in detail.
