Overview

Discover America’s Oldest City Through Stories That Still Echo Today
Step beyond the surface of colonial façades—this self-guided walking tour of St. Augustine invites you into a historic, deeply alive city.
St. Augustine has witnessed empires rise and cultures collide, from its 16th-century Spanish foundations to its pivotal role in the Civil Rights Movement.
You’ll trace its past while following the footsteps of those who shaped it along this carefully curated route.
Unlike a scripted group tour, this immersive experience lets you explore at your own pace. You’ll be guided through questions that challenge traditional narratives, highlight often-overlooked voices, and connect the city’s past to its present-day.
This isn’t just sightseeing. It’s story-seeking.
You’ll begin and end at the Castillo de San Marcos, the city’s enduring sentinel. The journey reveals the many St. Augustines within its storied walls, whether you’re a history buff, a cultural traveler, or simply curious.
