Testimonials 

Ten minutes before the tour, I received a call from a lady who was aggravated asking where we were but instead of finding out if we were close to the place or if we needed some direction, she was very rude and set a horrible first impression. We were literally 1 min from the place so I recommend a bit more patience with the tourists that may just need a minute or brief help to find the location. I am grateful that the tour guide was very nice and my family ended up enjoying the tour but it did take some energy to get over that very much avoidable negative first impression.

Karen was prepared, knowing who her guest were. She knows her facts and is certain it’s true or will tell you otherwise. She told historical stories so you could get the big picture. She could answer any question and tell you more than what’s on the tour. If it be a restaurant, a different kind of tour she’ll know. She’s been in St. Augustine for over 10 years with vacations to St Augustine prior to their move. I know because I asked her. Also it’s important to know that she has spent time doing research on the historical locations she speaks of. She’s wrote a book and after briefly looking through it I’m positive she has more knowledge than what’s in this book. It’s probably time for her to write another. Anyway, if you are looking for HISTORY, this is the tour for you!! I found it fascinating and hope to return for another tour!! Thank you so much!!
