"Best initial tour of St. Augustine!"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5

Started our first visit to St. Augustine with this train tour- chose it because it was the smallest of the tours (# of people on the train) and more personalized. Benji our tour guide was the best! Very informative and funny (even his corny jokes) - great introduction to the city. Would highly recommend.

"Best way to see St Augustine and the Night of Lights!"

We had a great time with our guide Benji! We had our little Yorkie with us so we chose this pet friendly ride. We took a daytime tour, great way to see the city. Benji was full of jokes and great knowledge sharing his tips and tricks! We went back in the evening for the Night of Lights tour. Oh what fun it was to ride and see the beautiful sites. Highly recommend and ask for Benji, you won’t regret it!

Thanks for a great tour Beng! We were impressed with the history of this great city. We got a great deal on line. The tour took a little over an hour, and covered the major portion of old town. We leave today, but we will come again.

Bought tickets for the Night of Lights Little Red Train tour, 2 rows, for Thanksgiving Eve for two reasons. I have been waiting years to visit and experience this time of year in St. Augustine, and I have a 2-year-old granddaughter that wanted to ride the train. I was told the experience would last 45 mins and it last exactly 30 mins with a very limited route to view the lights. Actually, the driver went around the main plaza twice instead of going past other completely decorated areas. They also pumped Christmas music through the PA system, and it repeated at least twice some songs three times in 30 minutes. The driver Benji seems nice enough and tried to keep the visitors engaged. I'd pick a private tour over this one.
