St Augustine is a unique city filled with colonial Spanish neighborhoods, magnificent buildings and a wonderful, old-time charm. As the oldest continuously occupied European-established settlement in the USA it has lots of history. From the Castillo de San Marco, to the Fountain of Youth there is something for everyone.

Upgrade to add a scenic cruise, trolley tour or the Medieval Torture Museum to your visit.

If you select the option including the Hop-On Hop-Off Trolley than you can have a guided tour throughout the historic old town, and jump on an off as you wish.

The scenic boat tour option is a 1-hour boat ride with views from the waterways of the Bay of Matanzas!

At the Medieval Torture Museum you see first hand the. grueling history of mad men and tyrants!

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Old St. Augustine Village
The Historic District in St. Augustine is the heart of the city. This is where guests will find a majority of the city's restaurants, shopping, hotels, and attractions. The Historic District is the oldest part of the city with many buildings dating back to the 1700s. Even the streets are laid out as they would have been centuries ago, and are more walkable than a lot of cities visitors are used to seeing in America. Along with being a beautiful area for finding things to do like shopping, visiting museums, and dining, the Historic District is also home to the beautiful bayfront with lovely panoramic views of the Matanzasa Bay. The top rated attractions in the area are centered around the Historic District and reflect the importance of history in shaping St. Augustine into what it is today. For example, the Colonial Quarter is a living history museum with costumed reenactors and interactive experienes. The Castillo and the Fountain of Youth both have weapons demonstrations so guests can expect to hear the sound of canon and musket fire around the Historic District. Another defining feature of the Historic District is the architecture. The design on building facades represents the height of Spanish Colonial and Spanish Renaissance Revival architecture. The area of town showcases everything from early European design, Florida bungalow style houses, and Gilded Age extravegance. Being the nation's oldest city, the Historic District of St. Augustine represents all that history has built here since 1565.
2. Oldest Wooden School House
The Oldest Wooden School House is located at the entrance to St. George Street. During your free time be sure to stroll past it and down this cobble stoned street where there is great souvenir shopping and some great restaurents .
3. Fort Matanzas National Monument
Upgrade your tour and enjoy a one-hour-and-15-minute cruise aboard the Victory III through Matanzas Bay. Narrated by your captain, this boat tour provides an incomparable way to view St Augustine’s historical landmarks and natural sites of interest.
4.
Should you purchase the option to choose to take a 90-minute hop-on hop-off trolley tour for an easy way to get around the city and see the sights you want to see. You can get on and off as much as you’d like, or simply sit back and ride the entire loop. The local conductors make the tour even more entertaining by providing history and humor.

Ishmael was a wonderful shuttle driver, he went above and beyond to make sure everyone on the trip enjoyed our day. The bus was comfortable and the ride was not too long. St. Augustine was fun to explore and the hop on hop off trolley was the perfect way to get around the city

We used Grayline for a day trip from Orlando International drive to St Augustine. Our guide was Kevin he was very friendly and knowledgeable. We arrived safe and well in St Augustine and the day went smoothly. Heavy traffic on the way back, but we enjoyed the day and the service which was provided!

Kevin, the driver was a nice guy. He got us to and from our destination safely. I paid extra for “ a historic tour”. No one could tell me where it was. I called the main office and they were no help! They gave me an address that turned out to be a pub. I never got my tour!! Saint Augustine is a dump. Don’t go! What a waste of a day!!

The best part for me was the scenic cruise as we were lucky enough to see dolphins which was amazing ! It's a lovely place to go but it's a very long day. Lots of cute little shops and places to eat and drink. Then there is lots of history aswell.
So if that's your type of thing you would definitely enjoy.
I didn't get the time to do gator farm but that definitely sounds like it's worth visiting.
Thanks to Kevin our driver he was friendly throughout.

This was a great experience! Kevin, our driver, gave us an enjoyable ride from Orlando to St Augustine and gave very clear directions about where and when we needed to go to make our tour a success.
We ended up doing the historic tour of the colonial quarter, which was very cool-- we were on an interactive tour to see and hear about what life was like for the early European settlers. There was also a watchtower that gave us a great view of St Augustine from higher up.
The trolley was also a good deal. It makes stops at several points of interest around town, and you can hop on/hop off as you arrive at locations you want to experience up close.
I recommend the Villa Zorayda, which is a historic home/museum with a guided audio tour and very cool architecture.
The fort is also, of course, a must see. We definitely want to return to St Augustine and are likely to book this Grayline tour again when we do.

The ride to/from Saint Augustine was great. Our tour guide Kevin was wonderful!
The hop-on-hop off was good abut also had some concerns. The first trolly we were on was with Ron - the Rocket. He spoke very fast, very loud and I had concern when multiple times people were getting off/ on the trolley and he would ring the bell to start up. I didn’t want to get off the trolley at a few stops because of that. The second trolley we were on was with Davey Jones. He was excellent! He definitely spoke at a slower pace and took more time letting people on off.
The sites themselves were amazing !! Loved seeing the Fountain of Youth, the museums and Flagler College.
A little Cafe near the whiskey museum is Parfait ! We had a fabulous lunch there. It’s European food- French-Spanish-Portuguese
