Tour description
Founded by the Spanish in 1565, St. Augustine is the oldest continuously inhabited European settlement in the United States, a sun-drenched treasure trove of colonial alleys, imposing stone fortresses, and opulent Gilded Age architecture. On this walking tour, a local guide will lead you through over four centuries of history packed into a compact, charming old town.
You will explore narrow colonial streets, stand before the formidable Castillo de San Marcos, and admire the magnificent Spanish Renaissance architecture of railroad tycoon Henry Flagler. Steeped in history, atmospheric, and exceptionally walkable, St. Augustine offers a journey back to the beginnings of America.
