personal historical experience - Scott, our tour guide, was an extremely passionate, informative individual. He was so knowledgeable and in-depth with his tellings of the battles and past of St. Augustine and everything you could fathom asking him about. He ended the tour by walking us from the fort, across Cordova St., to where we had dinner reservations after mentioning it to him once at the beginning of the tour. I would recommend this HIGHLY, to anyone who wants some extra tid bits and secrets into the history of where they’re visiting. Thank you SO much to Scott again for offering his knowledge and insights to us so proudly!!! :)

Awesome tour! - Scott is a wonderful guide and very knowledgeable about the history of the fort. We learned new things about it and he was more than willing to take the time to answer questions. We really enjoyed the tour and would recommend it to anyone who likes more than just reading about it.
