This trip was absolutely outstanding. Gino our guide and driver went above and beyond to keep us informed and knew so much history about each location as we went through the towns. It was a day well spent and away from the hustle and bustle of Disney atmosphere. The scenic boat ride was so relaxing. Highly recommend.

Ismail was an awesome driver but also a plethora of knowledge. The whole drive from Orlando to St. Augustine he educated us on various points of historical interest. I would do this tour again because there weren’t enough hours to fully appreciate St. Augustine...maybe even stay a night.

St Augustine itself is great, definitely recommend doing the trolley tour. The only downside to the day was that is is advertised as a 2hr drive each way but the trip up was well over 3 hrs because the driver wanted to take a detour and show us things. But it was annoying as most of us just wanted to get to st Augustine and get sightseeing. The trip home was about 2.5 hrs
