Step into 460 years of history on the most popular walking tour of St. Augustine. On this engaging small-group experience, explore America’s oldest city with a knowledgeable local guide who is part-historian and part-new friend and brings the streets, buildings, and stories to life.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the History Walking Tour? I'm thinking of taking my kids.

A: There's no formal age limit for the tour, and many families take their kids along. Just keep in mind that it's about 2 hours of walking, so younger kids might get tired. The guide usually makes it engaging for all ages, with fun stories and interesting facts that kids can understand. Just be sure to bring plenty of water and some snacks!

Q: What should I wear for the walking tour? Is it casual?

A: Definitely go for something comfortable! The tour involves a fair amount of walking, so wear good shoes. It can get hot in St. Augustine, so breathable fabrics are key. If you're going in the evening, I'd suggest a light jacket since it can cool down by the harbor. And don't forget sunscreen!

Q: What happens if it rains? Do they cancel the tour?

A: The tour typically goes on unless there's severe weather, like lightning. They recommend checking the forecast and bringing an umbrella or poncho just in case. If the tour does get canceled, they’ll usually let you reschedule or give you a refund. Make sure to check with them closer to your tour date for the latest updates!
