Thanks to Ephraim for an amazing walking tour of St Augustine! Without his tour we would have missed learning/seeing the long and interesting history of this city… we have a Much better appreciation of it now. Highly Recommended!!!

Ephraim was a wonderful...

Published on Mar, 2024

Ephraim was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly. It was a perfect way to begin our first visit to St. Augustine. We enjoyed learning so much of the city’s history - from Ponce de Leon to the business titans of the guilded age. Fascinating. I highly recommend this tour!

Fantastic Tour with Ephraim!

Published on Mar, 2024

Ephraim was a fantastic tour guide! We got a full dive into the history and significance of St. Augustine as well as explanations of the wide ranging classes of individuals and historical events that are tied to St. Augustine. We loved the fun small details that were shared that added additional insight and laughter to the tour! Highly recommend this to anyone who visits to see the sights, hear the stories, and learn about this historical City.

Tour along the shore!

Published on Mar, 2024

We loved this tour! Ephraim is very knowledgeable about the town, its founding, and the changes through the ages. He took his time to explain not only the landmarks, but the people who made the town what it is today. This was a great way to see the city and learn while casually strolling down the many historic streets. Highly recommend spending some time with Ephraim while you’re here!
