Scott, our tour guide was so fun and played the 90's music while we rode the fun golf cart ride! One of my favorite one was the wine and cheese spread at the top floor of cathedral with a beautiful view of the city. The eggplants spread, goat cheese with honey on a rustic bread was amazing and the wine was wonderful. What a fun way to explore the historic st. Augustine through food, amazing wine, view of downtown, and places to visit per our tour guide recommendations. I definitely recommend this tasting tour for a fun day in st. Augustine.

Getting this activity 'on the books' was more than aggravating, to say the least. The tasting tour…read moresays that to text them is a quicker option for response to inquiries (for them.) It most definitely didn't seem that way! They DID get back to me via text, but it wasn't in a quick fashion. I'd say an semi-acceptable fashion (within 8-12 hours.) Regardless, we DID get our event scheduled for a private tour with (15 people.) It was quite an expensive 'private tour' of the night of lights that was explained to me as tho the grinch (driving one trolly) and Santa (driving another trolly) would interact with one another (more than minimally) and make the tour exclusive to all 15 of us. They would hop off one trolly and interact with the passengers of the other trolly, etc. In reality, it was NOT a collective tour. The grinch separated from the other trolly and it was essentially two separate tours. Approximately 3-4 times they interacted with one another (acting as tho one would hit the other's trolly, yelling insults at Santa, responding to the grinch, and stopping at the 'duck bar' for the ambush together.) The address to initially meet at is kind of hard to find, even with GPS, as well! There is NO indication of 'the tasting tours' business name on the store front at the address. It is a Cuban bakery.' YES, we all had a good time.... But I don't want the rest of you that book a 'private' tour to be mislead or pay for something you won't receive. *** I also find it distasteful that the company charges an unprecedented amount of money for the trolly rides and then has the audacity to send an email asking for further tip for the trolly drivers.*** Whether a patron tips or not is up to them, not a business owner requesting it!

Our group of seven ladies recently booked a wine tasting tour with Serendipity Wine Tasting Tours…read morein St. Augustine, FL. Unfortunately, the experience did not meet our expectations, especially considering that each person paid $75. One of our biggest concerns was that we were given a fixed menu that was not disclosed to us at the time of booking. We expected more variety and flexibility with the food and wine selections. We also visited only two locations, which felt limited for a wine tasting tour. Our final stop was a wine shop where more than 15 people were expected to share one charcuterie board and one bottle of wine. For the number of people in attendance, the food and wine provided seemed insufficient. Another disappointment was the lack of historical information about St. Augustine. Since this was the first visit to St. Augustine for several people in our group, we were really looking forward to learning about the city's history and seeing the experience through the eyes of someone familiar with the area. Unfortunately, little to no history or background about St. Augustine was shared during the tour. There was also very little interaction with the chauffeur throughout the experience. Jenna was pleasant and courteous, but she did not interact much with our group or provide the level of engagement we expected from a tour guide/chauffeur. The tour itself was approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, which also felt short considering the $75-per-person price and what we expected the experience to include. Overall, the tour felt underwhelming in terms of value, variety, interaction, food, and the overall experience. I would recommend that Serendipity be much more transparent about the menu, itinerary at the time of booking and consider providing more food and wine, additional stops, historical information, in addition to adding fans to the electric vehicles to keep guests cool in the Florida heat. Unfortunately, based on our group's experience, we would not book this tour again.

Very disappointing. This is advertised as a karaoke and holiday light tour with bubble machines and…read more3-D glasses, but none of that was provided--no bubble machine, no 3-D glasses, and only one microphone for a large group. There were 12 of us paying $45 each and taking up all the seats for this time slot, and the tour lasted just 19 minutes. We arrived only 6 minutes late, tours are booked on the hour, yet we didn't depart until 7:11 pm and were brought back at 7:29 pm--even though the next tour wasn't until 8:00. We did get hot cocoa and treats (as advertised), but overall it felt rushed, overpriced, and poorly run. Do NOT recommend. We were all very disappointed.

I guess when business is booming you can refuse whomever you want but I don't think businesses is booming here. Maybe consider being a bit more welcoming and mirror nearly every other establishment everywhere that allows well behaved animals and their pets.

We stopped at three different bars and explored some different areas all within walking distance. The first place was beer only, so my significant other got a free drink since the tour guide bought everyone's first round. The next place we ordered shots and the third place, Stogies, we didn't drink. The first distillery, was very large and you were able to see the machines in the back. The restroom was clean but had minimal waiting space. We only had a few hecklers outside the tour, but we ignored them and made jokes about it since they were pretty wasted. We learned different stories in the area including burial spots. The bars were pretty packed so we did what we could to avoid others and be too close. I happened to catch some orbs in some photos I took which was really cool. Stogies was the most interesting. The guide told us about Annie, who used to own the building. He explained townspeople didn't like her and she was found murdered on her own door step. So she's been called a malevolent spirit. That the bar staff close in pairs and she's injured other staff before. We also took pictures upstairs too. All in all it was a good trip and good price. Only 25 per person. Would definitely do again.

Elizabeth took us to Lemon Tree Gift shop first where you have an opportunity to see so may unique gifts many produced by local crafters. We also spent time in the Artisans Art Gallery (most of us went back to either of the stops after the tour because we had seen something to purchase). However, the highlight was the four restaurants on the tour where we were treated to such incredible food pairings. Trust me when I say, no one left hungry! We were treated to unique American dishes, BBQ, seafood, and home made doughnuts and ice cream. One example, The Cattle Dog is owned by a five star chef who brought his culinary skills to this quaint town. I highly recommend you book this tour for a fun, fabulous, food tour in the lovely coastal town of Crystal River.
