Highlights
- Government House Museum - Government House dominates the west end of the Town Plaza, a unique Spanish land use component lying within a National Historic Landmark District. Along coasts, plazas were to begin at the waterfront - to see and to be seen. Since 1598, a government building has stood on this site with a view of the harbor landing, accommodating administrative headquarters and residences of colonial governors appointed by the Crowns of Spain, then Britain, then Spain again. After Spain ceded Florida to the United States in 1821, this current Government House served as a courthouse and briefly as a Capitol of the new Territory of Florida.

Great tour! - Alex is the best!! My friend & I had so much fun talking, eating and walking with Alex. He is so personable and knowledgeable.
We enjoyed the tour so much that we're planning on booking the Ale Tour next.
We walked away with a cooler (provided) full of chocolate, sweets, water & macaroons!
Thank you, Alex!

Best tours ever (for real!) - We did two tours (food tour and sweets tour) with Alex and let me tell you, they were both amazing! Besides the great sweets and food picks to the recommendations and St Augustine history, Alex is so lovely and an amazing human being. He made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves, made small talk, and got our introvert selves speaking. We enjoyed both walks so much we talked about them for days. We cannot recommend him and his company enough!
(Thank you Alex for spending your birthday morning with us! From your friends in San Juan)

not just chocolate, but interesting and fun - Wow! What a delectable tour! Not only do you get yummy treats at each stop, you get surprises to take home in a thermal bag. Amy, our guide, was very knowledgeable about St Augustine history. We learned interesting facts and she pointed out some neat hidden sites, that you would walk right past if not pointed out. She was a wealth of information. Amy was personable, easy to talk to, and a great guide. A fun tour.

Yummy food tour - We had a great experience with Alex. He kept intouch with us beforehand (making sure we gave ourselves ample time to park & giving us specific directions). We had a fun time learning about St. Augustine, more about him and about the fun food choices he made for us. We were quite full after our tour. We had three savory & 2 Sweet stops. It was a great way to spend a few hours (definitely would not have tried these spots on our own) & Alex has the best personality for this job!

Fun tour! - Alex was an awesome and very engaging tour guide! We learned a lot about the history of St. Augustine and some fun facts about the sweets! All the stops we made were very cute, and the treats were great! We loved the goodie bag! The only down side was that there weren't more stops!

Don't skip this tour - Alex was awesome! We learned about things that aren't common history lessons and had treats that we would have most likely walked right past if not for this tour. He also showed us some hidden history that was right in plain site. Alex also made sure to give us recommendations on where to go to get the most out of our trip. I am looking forward to coming back and trying another tour with them!
