Highly recommend...

We had so much fun doing the self guided haunted scavenger hunt! This is a great way to see parts of St. Augustine that you would walk right by as well as learn some history and get a little scared at the same time! I took my adult daughters and 2 teenage granddaughters who loved it so much. Wear good walking shoes as you'll get some exercise! Highly recommend!!

Interactive and informative...

"The scavenger hunt was not only interactive and informative but challenging enough to require concentration which made it fun. I got a two hour tour of the city and saw lots of sites that helped me determine what I wanted to do with the rest of my time here. What really stood out is the character of the hosts. It began raining during my scheduled hunt time and we had to call it quits less than halfway through. Heather went above and beyond, allowing us to finish the next day which was no only a holiday, but a day they aren't typically open for the scavenger hunt. Lastly, she gave us advice where to find a good brunch spot. She recommended a French/Greek bistro off the beaten path which ended up being FANTASTIC. My girlfriend and I got a hell of a value with this booking!"

This scavenger hunt was perfect...

"Super fun way to see and learn about St. Augustine. It was our first time to visit the bustling city of St. Augustine and we wanted to get to know about the city in a unique way! This scavenger hunt was perfect! It would be for all ages but it does require patience with each other and to just enjoy the experience. The hunt is well thought out and easy to follow but just interesting enough to keep you engaged! We learned lots! The hosts, Steve and Heather, were Amazing! "

We are still talking about it...

"Don't Miss It! A clever and super-fun way to explore and learn about St. Augustine. Heather and Steve are delightful hosts and stay in touch with you during your exploration. We spent closer to 3 hrs. (and happily so!) and didn't feel we were off the mark speed-wise. It's just great fun and we are still talking about it. St. Augustine is the perfect place for this kind of introduction."

The Oldest City St Augustine, Florida

Visit St. Augustine

Our city is unlike any other city in the country because of its unique scenery and colorful history. This old city has a small-town feel to it, yet it has a lot to offer. When visitors stroll along the brick-lined streets and take in the city's Spanish, British and European character, which includes centuries-old buildings, horse-drawn carriages, hidden courtyards, and much more, it's easy to see why. There's lots of history to discover at Saint Augustine, with over 450 years of it!
‍
St. Augustine is noted for its great restaurants, which provide a variety of dishes reflecting the town's heritage, in addition to its amazing lineup of top-rated hotels, resorts, and bed & breakfasts. Add in the city's world-class galleries and museums, boutiques and outlet shopping, theater and live music, and 42 miles of beautiful beaches, and you've got yourself a winning combination.

Historic St. Augustine

Founded in 1565, St. Augustine is the United States' oldest continually occupied settlement of European and African-American descent. The Spanish established in St. Augustine 42 years before the English colonized Jamestown and 55 years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. St. Augustine, Florida is this nation's first enduring settlement.

Haunted St. Augustine

St. Augustine has been a settlement for four centuries, aside from our Native history reaching upwards of 14,000 years! It's only logical that the ancient city would have its fair share of mysterious tales. Many visitors believe the Nation's Oldest City is also the most haunted after wandering our brick streets and visiting historical landmarks that have withstood the test of time.

Beautiful St. Augustine

The Ancient City of St. Augustine is positioned between Northeast and East Central Florida, and is close to the airports of Jacksonville, Orlando, and Daytona. The moderate climate of North Florida is ideal for wandering through St. Augustine's charming historic center, which features old brick streets, small cafes, taverns, unusual boutiques, and bed and breakfast inns. Experience the splendor of a beautiful early morning as locals and tourists alike start out on foot to explore the historic landmarks, pristine beaches, and all this unique city has to offer!
