Best walking tour ever!

Our tour guide, Michelle, was phenomenal! She is a master storyteller in all the best ways. My husband loves history - I’m more of a ‘like’- however Michelle brought St. Augustine to life in such a way that we were both researching more after the tour. Would definitely do this tour again!

I am so glad you enjoyed your time with her! Thank you for this lovely review! If you happen to have any photos you would care to forward please send them to ANCIENTCITYTOURS1@GMAIL.COM.

Justin - we are SO GLAD you joined us! The other guests loss was your gain! You had Tony as your guide! His superpower is his love for history (did he tell you he teaches high school history?) You got a tour like no one else! Thank you for this lovely review! If you happen to have any photos you would care to forward please send them to ANCIENTCITYTOURS1@GMAIL.COM.

Tony was a wealth of knowledge and very engaging. We particularly enjoyed his knowledge of military history and you can see the passion he has for the history of this city. We learned so much in such a short period of time. I would highly recommend this tour.

Tony doesn’t know how to do anything but deliver a great tour! He lives and breathes the history he shares with our guests everyday! His tours always get high marks and we appreciate you recognizing him! Thank you for the recommendation and welcome to the family! Morganne is truly skilled! Delivering a ghost story that gives you the chills gets high marks in my book too! Thanks for recognizing her! We appreciate this great review and welcome to the family!
