Be Smart - Take This Cart! I have been to St Augustine many times and this was the best ever! The stories of the rich history were interwoven with relevant context that brought it to life. What we learned was fascinating! The efficiency of the cart/open vehicle is amazing - so easy to get around to so many places (not just downtown) and avoid traffic. It was the perfect introduction (and deep dive) to the area and set us up to explore after the tour based on our interests. P.S. We saw other tours drive by and every time I was glad we were on our EXPLORE Tour... and not theirs. Highly Recommend

Karen (not that kinda of Karen!) picked us up right on time from our B&B. She was friendly and knowledgeable about the area. She expertly drove our clean golf cart around the area and showed us locations that Trolley & Trains can't access. A great way to spend a morning sightseeing in St Augustine.

Karen was an excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable about the history of the city. Answered all of our questions and would recommend!
We just had an amazing tour with our guide Mark. Mark was such a knowledgeable guide. I can't wait to visit again so I can do this tour again cause there's so much history here. Explore Tours should be happy to have Mark as a guide. Thanks
We visit St Augustine every year for the Nights of Lights to kick off our family's holiday season. This was the first year we chose Explore Tours and Pick Ups and we were excited for a semi-private experience for this fun evening. Our driver, Josh, started by saying that he doesn't follow any route and then handing us some glasses. Several people on the car attempted to sing carols, engage and celebrate the Nights of Lights tour. The driver didn't speak to anyone in the car except for the father sitting next to him and then only if asked a question. He offered that some bars had bad martinis and another restaurant was good for when you were hungover, great tips for the three teens/preteens and multiple families on the tour who signed up for a personable Nights of Lights tour. This was an incredibly disappointing and expensive experience. You'd have gotten as much, if not more, from an Uber driver through town. What's most disappointing is that in reviewing the company's past reviews, we were not the first to note the same concerns from the same driver. I'm sure he's a great person ~ but if you're going to drive a holiday tour through a historic city during the biggest festival of holiday lights for a living, being personable, knowledgeable about the history, excited about the holidays and engaging to the clientele who have paid for the advertised experience is a key component.
Our first visit to St Augustine for the Christmas lights. We saw all the trolleys but as it got dark was difficult to find the pickup stations. Our hotel recommended Explore Tours as an option. We are so glad they did. Our driver Andy found us even though we were not exactly at their pickup point. After giving us cookies his wife had baked and special glasses to be used at certain light displays...off we went. The smaller vehicle could get around easier than the longer trolleys and we got to know our fellow travelers. An absolute must if you are singing Christmas songs. We had a such a magnificent time! I know this was a special event, however our guide was so knowledgeable that a tour at other times of the year would still be great.
As a homeschooling mom, I'm always looking for fun ways to integrate fun and lesson planning. This tour offered so much interesting information with the most dynamic and informative tour guide, Tea.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! It was really cold the night we used their service for a pick up and it only took a few minutes to get to us. Owner picked us up because her driver had called out. Extremely nice. Was closing early because she didn't have a driver but have me a number to get a ride back to our hotel from dinner. Planning on going back next year and will 200% use their pick up service again.
We signed up for a private tour of the Nights of Lights. We were excited to bring our friends from Illinois with us. We had planned a special evening, beginning with dinner and culminating in a Special Light Tour. We were at the restaurant eating, when I got a call from Explore. The bus/ cart had broken down. They said they were sorry and would refund my money. OK. I asked them to recommend or help me book a trip with another company for that evening. They told me to look it up myself and I could call the places . They then went on to say that I probably wouldn't be able to find a tour for that night, considering how late it was. Really???!!!! What poor service!!! I recommend that you stay away from this company. There are lots of other reputable companies to choose from. What a disappointment !!!
Blaise and Calli (and Wendy) are excellent tour guides. Their knowledge of St Augustine is impressive. We did not have a reservation for the Night of Lights tour but they found a way to fit us in, on our schedule. They are friendly and accommodating. If your looking for a guided tour of the city, call these guys. You will not be dissapointed :)
