Stop At: Old St. Augustine Village, 246 Saint George St, St. Augustine, FL 32084-4434

The Historic District in St. Augustine is the heart of the city. This is where guests will find a majority of the city's restaurants, shopping, hotels, and attractions. The Historic District is the oldest part of the city with many buildings dating back to the 1700s. Even the streets are laid out as they would have been centuries ago, and are more walkable than a lot of cities visitors are used to seeing in America. Along with being a beautiful area for finding things to do like shopping, visiting museums, and dining, the Historic District is also home to the beautiful bayfront with lovely panoramic views of the Matanzasa Bay.

The top rated attractions in the area are centered around the Historic District and reflect the importance of history in shaping St. Augustine into what it is today. For example, the Colonial Quarter is a living history museum with costumed reenactors and interactive experienes. The Castillo and the Fountain of Youth both have weapons demonstrations so guests can expect to hear the sound of canon and musket fire around the Historic District.

Another defining feature of the Historic District is the architecture. The design on building facades represents the height of Spanish Colonial and Spanish Renaissance Revival architecture. The area of town showcases everything from early European design, Florida bungalow style houses, and Gilded Age extravegance. Being the nation's oldest city, the Historic District of St. Augustine represents all that history has built here since 1565.

Ishmael was a wonderful shuttle driver, he went above and beyond to make sure everyone on the trip enjoyed our day. The bus was comfortable and the ride was not too long. St. Augustine was fun to explore and the hop on hop off trolley was the perfect way to get around the city

We used Grayline for a day trip from Orlando International drive to St Augustine. Our guide was Kevin he was very friendly and knowledgeable. We arrived safe and well in St Augustine and the day went smoothly. Heavy traffic on the way back, but we enjoyed the day and the service which was provided!

Kevin, the driver was a nice guy. He got us to and from our destination safely. I paid extra for “ a historic tour”. No one could tell me where it was. I called the main office and they were no help! They gave me an address that turned out to be a pub. I never got my tour!! Saint Augustine is a dump. Don’t go! What a waste of a day!!
