We knew there was a lot of history in St Augustine and this was a very cool way to see all of it. The clues were challenging but easy enough to figure it out. Really liked that is was interactive -you knew you were on the right track by the responses.

History Learning in my Own Backyard

We have been to St Augustine a number of times but the scavenger hunt gave us the opportunity to explore, learn and enjoy the city in a fun and relaxing way. It was all at our own pace and took us down streets we hadn’t been before. The real bonus was having to take pictures at different checkpoints and in doing so, created a great photo album of the fun enjoyed along the way.

Service and vendor are scam artist
TIMOTHY_S
, Apr 2021
Never got to take the hunt... could not find parking anywhere near the address given. Looked for over 45 minutes until wife's blood pressure got so high had to take her back to hotel for meds. Vendor refused to refund the amount paid. Will never use your service again as well as let everyone know what a scam it is.

icon Response from Host , Apr 2021
Hi Timothy Sweet, I am working with Viator(whom you booked through) to be able to add the screenshot of the one singular message that you sent to us after missing your scheduled time at 2pm. The message simply demanded: We could not find anywhere to park. Please refund Timothy Sweet Mar 27,2020 2:44pm Had you taken the time to call us, we could have easily helped you find suitable parking. St. Augustine is a busy historic district enjoyed by millions, and while parking can be a challenge, with a little bit of pre-planning it is a non-issue. We have numerous guests that arrive to our experiences day in and out with no problem. Also, had you bothered to call, we allow our scavengers to start anytime between 2pm- 8pm, so we would have been more than happy to accommodate you with a shift in your arrival time with no problem whatsoever. Lastly, you booked through an outside booking agency and were a no show which on our policies it clearly states that no shows equal no refund. Even though that is our policy, we have notes on file in our system for no shows and in the rare case they show up in the future, we still honor their booking. So to say that we are a scam just because of your lack of pre-planning and inability to arrive to an experience you scheduled at the time of your choosing is preposterous. Regards, Heather Settle (owner)

Super friendly staff. Engaging and quick witted instructions. I could easily see this as an all day adventure so stopping freely throughout the journey would add to the experience. A physical map could be helpful for the navigationally challenged luddites out there...just to get a feel for the ground you’ve covered and places you would like to return to.

A fun and entertaining way to see the downtown area and learn about the history. It took a little extra time for us to get the first clue and we joked it was great for marriage counseling. Highly recommend it!
