Chase was an awesome tour guide! We learned so much from him even though this was our second trip to St. Augustine. He answered all of our questions and also gave us lots of great recommendations for restaurants and attractions. I would definitely recommend his golf cart tour. The cruise was also enjoyable, but it was quite cold and windy the day we went out. It was informative and fun!

It was a wonderful experience with excellent guides. We hopped off to visit several venues, but each guide was great. I went with family and no children. We are all over the age of 70 (younger after drinking from the Fountain of Youth) and had no trouble getting on or off. We love history and felt this was a great learning and fun experience.

This was a great experience. We rode the trolley through all stops, to get a sense of where we wanted to go back. Favs were the St. George street experience and The Distillery tour. A lot of overtly touristy things on the other stops, but it was good to hear the history.

Comprehensive 1.75 hour total tour if you stay on for the full 21 stops. We were somewhat physically challenged so we only got off at two places near the end. It seems there is rarely a wait to speak of, and the guides were spectacular. Well worth the money.

We had a great time on the Electric Golf Cart Tour. Chance (our guide) was excellent! A great speaker! We we not able to do the Boast Cruise because of fag. Customer Service took care of the refund in a prompt and courteous manner. Highly recommended!
