Russ is an excellent guide, knows his history and engages with the customer. The walking tour was about 90 minutes and didnt feel rushed. Highly recommended!
Let's go explore America’s oldest city and learn about the three different countries that controlled St. Augustine for most of the past 450 years. You will walk along our famous harbor and see the oldest masonry fort in America. Get to know the oldest grid system in our country, while walking the same streets as people like buccaneer Robert Searle, Henry Flagler, Theodore Roosevelt, Robert Frost and even Martin Luther King Jr did many years ago. We want you to get familiar with the city so you can go off and experience everything St. Augustine has to offer!
Departure Point
- Please meet your guide in front of The Bart Art Gallery at 11D Aviles Street. This is across the street from the Historical Research Library that is located in the Segui-Kirby Smith House.
- The tour finishes back in the center of the city at the main Plaza, very near to where the tour started.

Had a good time on our history tour and guide was really pleasant and offered excellent recommendations. A decent portion of our tour was about events related to the Civil Rights Act, which was informative yet unexpected. I went back to review the itinerary and noticed we barely discussed and/or completely skipped half the planned stops which is disappointing.

Our guide Russ was excellent! He was knowledgable, entertaining and so informative. He shared not only the historical facts but lots of local lore, anecdotes and personal interactions with some of the famous , infamous and cherished current residents and visitors.
