Comfortable air conditioned minivan from Orlando to St Augustine. Included a hop on hop off trolley ride, advised to stay on for most of the ride then decide where to get off then wander at your leisure. There were 23 stops which finishes back near the start. I decided to get off at stop 17 at the end of the town near the oldest house and next to the river boardwalk. From here I walked the 'Martin Luther King freedom walk' signs show where he stayed and spoke. There is beautiful architecture from a variety of periods, Flagler College and Memorial Church, the St. George St pedestrian mall with the oldest schoolhouse and the old fort started in 1672. If you love history and architecture you will love this tour.

This is a great day trip. Our driver was very knowledgeable and friendly. There are many things to see and do, we could not get it all in in a day. It is worth the price in our opinion. The only thing that was a bit frustrating was the trolly was continually full at the stops so people had to wait sometimes for 30 minutes to get on the trolly. Each time the drivers would say to those left behind that another trolly would be here in 10 minutes, they dispatched another trolley right behind me. And then you could hear the people say thats what the last guy told us! This frustration did not ruin the trip though we would do it again.

Amazing trip. Beautiful town. A lot to do and we couldn't visit all places as we decided to walk and see the beauty of the small streets instead of taking the hop on-hop off. Loved the experience

Excellent driver. Clearly you could not control the weather but you might have warned us that due to it being Thanksgiving, everything was shut. Clearly not good. An expensive washout!!

This trip was very much worth it. We had to leave extremely early, because our hotel was not on the list of pick-up points, but St. Augustine is a very interesting and charming place, and we had enough time to stroll around and visit many of the historical buildings. It was useful to have bought the trolley pass.

The tour is excellent value. Beautiful stop that I will always remember. I wish I had more time there. I went on the cruise which was lovely but then I still wanted to go over the bridge to the beach area and that was lovely too.

Took Grey line, happy with the service and info. Too much to see in a day, will go back again.

Some good things about this tour/outing as provided by Viator were that I didn't have to drive to St Augustine from Orlando and we met some nice couple who became our traveling companions for most of the day and told us what to see and where to go when we visit their home state of NM. The city tour was great! When we go to a city for the first time, we like city tours that offer hop -on, hop-off privileges since that way we can select which attractions/places we absolutely have to see, which we can bucket list, and which we can maybe even overlook. One caution: don't try to board the city tour trolley close to the end of the tour, such as by the site where the first Catholic Mass was said on U S soil, when it's close to the time you have to report back to the bus that takes you back to Orlando. This is especially applicable if you have a group of more than 2. All of the group may not be able to board the same trolley.

Well worth the day out on this old town.

I think maybe a little too much time spent there

Fun trip, one day is definitely not enough. Next time it will be strictly St. Augustine, forget Disney. It would be possible to spend a number of days here...

From the pick up from the hotel to Saint Augustine was very good. We visited the fort and local shops where we were made very welcome. Its a lovely historical place to visit and it was our second time there. The trolley bus is a great way to see the sights but a little uncomfortable_br/_ The old jail and old shop across the way is worth a visit.

Had a great time. The tour guide was friendly and very informative. He gave us a lot of suggestions on things to see and do while we were there. Not possible to do it all in a few hours but we were able to hit the highlights.

excellent tour. A very hot day. The trolley is the way to go. Informative and the trolley runs every 15 minutes like clockwork. Driver Billy did an excellent job.
