Specialties
Walk everywhere, talk to everyone, eat everything in between. That is how we have run St. Augustine Experiences since 2019.
Six small-group walking tours, 8 to 12 guests, led by guides who live here.
St. Augustine Historic Walking Tour: 460 years in 90 minutes, from the 1565 Spanish founding and the coquina walls of the Castillo to Flagler's hotels and the 1964 civil rights marches.
St. Augustine Sweets & History Tour: chocolatiers, candy makers, and bakers between the stories. Ranked #12 on TripAdvisor in the USA in 2026.
St. Augustine Food Tour: the city's kitchens with no alcohol included, built for families and for people who want to focus on the food.
St. Augustine Historic Bar Crawl: our original tour, 460 years of history with a drink in your hand at some of our favorite breweries, bars, and restaurants.
St. Augustine Wine, Cocktail & Food Tour: pairings and top-shelf pours at our favorite local spots. Ranked #6 on TripAdvisor in the USA in 2026.
St. Augustine Bourbon, Whiskey & History Experience: tastings, food pairings, and the story behind the bottle.
Tours with alcohol are 21 and over. Private groups available. About a third of the people who walk with us are locals from Northeast Florida.
History
Established in 2019.
St. Augustine Experiences started in 2019 with two tours: the Ale Trail, now our Historic Bar Crawl, and the Not Just a Chocolate Tour, now our Sweets & History Tour.
We keep our groups small for our guests' comfort. We want every tour to feel like you are visiting a friend, not joining a crowd.
From those two tours we built six, with something for every type of guest and family: history, sweets, food, wine and cocktails, whiskey, and the original bar crawl, all on foot, all in small groups.
We have earned Tripadvisor recognition at the national and global level in multiple years since, and we still walk the same streets we started on.
