Itinerary
Government House Museum (Pass By)
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.
Plaza de la Constitucion (Pass By)
Historic park in the center of downtown St. Augustine. The original city plan was built out from this location. It is bordered by The Government House, the Cathedral Basilica, and the Bridge of Lions and Matanzas Bay. Spain's 1573 Law of the Indies, Leyes de los Indies, specified that colonial town plans set aside such a plaza for government, church and public use. Along coasts, plazas were to begin at the waterfront - to see and to be seen.
N/A (Pass By)
Housed in the former Ponce de Leon Hotel that was built by Henry Flagler in 1888.
St. George Street
Visit some of our favorite vendors and discover the history of St. Augustine's most famous street.
30 minutes
Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine (Pass By)
The Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine is a historic cathedral in St. Augustine, Florida, and the seat of the Catholic Bishop of St. Augustine. Constructed over five years (1793–1797), it was designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark on April 15, 1970. Its congregation, established in 1565, is the oldest Christian congregation in the contiguous United States.
St. Photios Greek Orthodox National Shrine (Pass By)
Just steps from St. Augustine’s historic city gates at St. George Street, the St. Photios Greek Orthodox National Shrine, an institution of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, is dedicated to the first colony of Greek people who came to America in 1768.

Highly recommend this walking tour!
Published on Feb, 2025
I had a blast on the walking tour. Our guide Russ Saunders was amazing! He is very knowledgeable and took us to some of the best historical sites in the city. He had so many interesting stories to tell about each place and so many good recommendations for places to eat, explore and have a good time. He was also very helpful, texting and calling before the tour started to ensure everyone knew how to get to the meeting spot and where to park. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the city and learn about its amazing history.

They should know that Alex and his wife are masters at their craft! You will have an experience whether it be with food, wine, cocktails, delectable sweets, whatever but with a wonderful refreshing dose of ACCURATE total history. The time they put into their continued study and education is apparent! We were amazed!
Highlight of the trip!

Day One - History Tours
Published on Jan, 2025
We did the history tour (not the "Sweets) version - our first day in town which was perfect. We found areas we would want to visit, and some that we did not. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Russ and the fascinating history he shared about St. Augustine. As we walked to various points of interest, he skillfully blended well-known landmarks with hidden gems, offering a unique perspective on the city’s rich past. His storytelling brought history to life, making the experience both engaging and educational.
