Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on this walking tour?

A: There's no strict age limit, but the tour is more suited for kids 10 and up. Younger kids might get restless on the walk, and it's a lot of history to absorb. If you have a history buff kid, they might love it though! Just keep an eye on their energy levels!

Q: What should we wear for the tour? Is it all walking?

A: Yeah, it's all walking throughout St. Augustine, so comfy shoes are a must! Dress for the weather; layers are ideal since it can be humid in the mornings and cool off in the evening. Don’t forget a hat and sunscreen if it’s sunny!

Q: Can this tour be rescheduled if something comes up?

A: Yes, you can usually reschedule with a notice! Just reach out to Spyglass Tours a few days in advance and they’re pretty flexible. It’s always good to check their policy when you book though, just to be sure.

Anyone done the Walking Guided History Tour of Old St. Augustine?

I’m thinking of gifting this tour to my parents who love history! The idea of exploring the oldest city in the U.S. sounds amazing. How interactive is the tour? My parents ask a lot of questions, so I hope the tour guide can keep up! Also, what’s the best time to go? I want them to have a great experience!

Help! Choosing a gift for my history-loving sister!

I found the Walking Guided History Tour in St. Augustine. She’s super into history and I think this would be perfect. But I’m worried about the walking part since she has some knee issues. Is it a lot of walking? How long does it usually last?
