Maybe you've taken one of the many tours offered in the wonderful city of St. Augustine previously. Would you like to hear about things you have NOT heard before? Learn something new for a change? Little secrets not usually talked about? Perhaps you will know some of them but pretty certain not all of them. This is not your typical "history" tour. You will hear about, and be shown, things on a variety of topics from history, crime, our many dead, buildings, plans, myths and truths. Group size limited to 12 for a more personal, intimate experience. This will take you little over a mile of walking, in the historic downtown area, and last about an hour. There is an extended add on offered; a little extra walking and about 30 more minutes, in which we go up to the Castillo de San Marcos at the end of the regular tour and walk some of the perimeter, learning a few neat tidbits there. Tour takes place rain or shine.
