“Very eye opening. Very informative. The hands on things were super cool. The fact that people could do that to one another, is very sobering.”

2.Private Guided Historic Electric Cart Tour of St. Augustine

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,194 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.)

Explore St. Augustine’s Walled City by private electric cart for 90 minutes with guides such as Tom, Dale, or Diane. Hear stories from the Spanish, British, and Flagler eras, reach sights that are awkward on foot, and enjoy a relaxed route suited to history lovers and guests with limited mobility.

“Very Adult oriented. We did not know that children under 7 were not allowed since it said that way down on additional info. Should have stated that at the top of the description. That being said, only 3 of us got to go since my son in law had to stay back with 2 young grandkids. Our driver, Tom, was extremely knowledgeable and gave us an excellent narrative of the history of the city and its entrepreneurs of the 19th century. It is a perfect way to learn about the city without any walking.”
