History should be fun! The tour shares the tantalizing tales of the olde town. Sebastian your tour guide shows you how much fun this city has been and continues to be with local tips and histories. A frolic thru downtown St. Augustine will show you a city you have never seen whether it's your first visit or you're an old hand. This is a 90-minute easy walking tour thru time. We start and end at a wine bar, so you know it's naughty.
At the BART wine and art gallery just off the Plaza De Constitution on Aviles Street.
We start at the BART art and wine bar and discuss the Fatio house one of the few boarding houses without prostitution, women owned for over 200 years
Sebastian points out the various items in the historic plaza including the monument to Spain's failed constitution. Other stories are shared about the churches, civil rights, and Flagler
We enter the "Gilded Age", stories of the "Newport of the South" as well as some naughty behavior of the robber barons of that time.
Sebastian describes the Zorayda house's history and focuses on the naughty things just up the road during prohibition when St Augustine was a center for bootleggers.
Sebastian shares a nice story about one of the inhabitants of this house a contrast to the naughtiness around it.
Here we make two stops, one for a dentist turned taxidermist. The other is about opium dens, casinos and the battle between the locals and the robber barons...the locals won!
We wander back down Aviles Street for that wine bar, but before we do we explain the connection to Juneteenth and a mystery.
