Our tour guide Orville was great and this is a well done tour with lots of demonstrations and lots of "Bad" jokes!

"Better Second Time"

Reviewed July 18, 2020 NEW

My family went to the old store last month and really enjoyed the tour guide, Orville. He was informative, funny and entertaining. We live in Saint Augustine and took some visiting friends to the trolley ride and saw Orville outside the store, and decided to go again. He was just as funny and entertaining the second time around. Highly recommended. The artifacts are unusual and the history is worth hearing about.
