It was way more in depth than I expected. Great introduction to Cuba and how they made America their new home. Everything from the wild chickens to the dispute over where the cubanito was first made.

Took the 7:40p tour last night and had a wonderful time. Our guide, Samantha, was patient, kind and passionate about her tour. She answered all of the questions on the tour, helped me look at a photo (that maybe had a ghost!) and handled an intense situation with care. We even had the chance to use dowsing rods after the tour- I ended up buying my own because it was such a unique and fun experience. 100% will be going back on a tour as soon as we can. I’d recommend this tour over any other tour in St Augustine. Everyone on the staff we interacted with was wonderful.
