Kyle knows a lot about the area and shared a ton of interesting information so I never felt bored or was tempted to wander. He provided great tips and suggestions for places to eat or do more sightseeing. The tour lasted almost two hours! It was a long walk, out in the sun so you should bring a water bottle and hat. This wouldn't be a good activity for anyone who has mobility issues, but it was great for us. We all enjoyed ourselves and would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore St. Augustine.

We had 2 tour guides: Gracie and Matlock…read more Gracie is amazing. She has such a fun personality and you can tell she loves doing this. She's a great story teller. If you get her as a guide, you will not be disappointed. I think our other guide Matlock was new. It felt like he was playing a character or role. It may have been the way they chose to split up the night, but his parts felt cheesy. Overall, it was an interesting tour and somewhat what I expected.

Opened in 1888 as the opulent Hotel Ponce de Leon, it was the crown jewel of Florida's Gilded Age. The tour is led by one of the college's students, which makes it even more engaging. Everything is impressive, but highlights for me were the stunning Tiffany chandeliers, the clock made by Thomas Edison, and the grand dining hall still used by students today. Tips: When in the Palm Beach area visit the incredible Flagler Museum in Palm Beach... fantastic. And when in Tampa, visit Flagler's buddy's Tampa Bay Hotel (built in 1891) also turned into a college... at the Henry B. Plant Museum.

Being the highest rated walking ghost tour in St. Augustine, and the fact that it was dog friendly,…read moremy husband, dog,and I decided to check out the Night Watchman Ghost Tour. We gathered at the storefront, and almost immediately my dog started acting confused and scared. He's an 80 lb pitbull, and get doesn't really get scared of anything. At one point, he lept into my husband's arms (a move solely used at the vet's office). As soon as all of the patrons had arrived, Scott, our storyteller, told us about a little ghost girl Lily that lives in that building. She will often play with marbles and a doll in that same room. My husband and I have no doubt that she was petting the dog and that's what freaked him out. It was a great beginning to our ghost tour for sure. Scott then spent the next 2 hours taking us from place to place telling us about ghost encounters in the buildings that we were standing in front of. He was immersed in the history of St Augustine, even being a volunteer archaeologist and helping move parts of history. His storytelling skills were second to none. Even our dog, who had walked ALL day long around St Augustine, stayed close to Scott trying to listen to the stories and was excited as we moved to each place. It was a slow paced tour so you don't have to worry about being physically fit to partake. It was a well-spent 2 hours that my husband and I truly enjoyed. The dog enjoyed it too, except for being petted by the ghost Lily. We highly recommend this tour! Thank you, Scott, for such a fun adventure!

At one point, we steered questions towards the general history of St Augustine and there wasn't a single question he could not answer! I would highly recommend this tour to everyone, family or just adults.

Walking tour operator…read more I took the opportunity to join my kids school trip to St. Augustine as a chaperone and as part of that, the school engaged Ancient City Tours as our guide for the day. The guide we had was Matt. Matt with the hat to be exact- because, you guessed it, he wore a hat. Easy to find if you were lagging behind - and easy to remember. Matt and his Hat made the day memorable- he certainly knew a lot of the St. Augustine history and was able to keep all the group engaged- kids, adults and even the teachers. He was super flexible with our group and overall, he made the day much better than I could have done on my own. Shout out to Matt and the Ancient City Tours team.

We took a group of 10-year-olds to St. Augustine last week and had a really mixed experience with…read moreour tour. Our guide, Cindra, just wasn't a great fit for kids--or honestly even for the adults in our group. She was very strict--expecting students to walk in perfectly straight single-file lines and not touch anything at all. I understand needing structure, but it felt unrealistic for 10-year-olds and came across as more harsh than helpful. At one point, the students were told they couldn't even touch the coquina stone the fort is built from, with the implication that they might damage it. That felt like overkill, considering the fort has been standing for over 400 years and has withstood hurricanes, cannon fire, and everything else--so a brief, supervised touch didn't seem unreasonable for a learning experience. Her tone also came across as sarcastic at times. On the second day, when students remembered information from the previous day, she responded with, "Wow, you were listening," which felt more dismissive than encouraging. What stood out even more was how she interacted with the adults. Parents were told they needed to ask permission to step away for something as simple as getting a coffee or using the restroom, and some were scolded when they didn't follow that expectation. That felt unnecessary and uncomfortable. I also overheard her making negative comments about a few of the boys in our group, which felt unprofessional. Because of all this, many of the students didn't enjoy the tour as much as they could have. On the flip side, the other half of our group had a different guide who was warm, engaging, and clearly knew how to work with kids--and it made a huge difference. St. Augustine is a great place for a field trip, but I'd definitely recommend asking about your guide ahead of time, especially if you're bringing students.
