Hello! Thanks for coming to check out my info! My name is Laura. I am a Chicagoland native, but I've been in Florida for almost 19 years. Saint Augustine has become my home away from home and my true love. Being a tour guide is my passion and brings me such joy. I am a St Augustine certified licensed guide. I also spend time in our research library with the Historical Society to dig deeper, as I always crave more information. That passion is even stronger for the guests I interact with and spend time with. I am a total people person! Which is why I love Tours by Locals as all the tours are private; therefore it is a relationship between guide and guests, as opposed to other places where you are herded in large groups and just a number or a passive participant in a lecture. Here you are an active participant. And your satisfaction is my top priority. On that note, I'd also like to mention that I am open to customization of your tour, if you have any specific area of interest that is not covered here already, or a location or theme you would like visited or to gain knowledge of. PLEASE feel free to reach out and share that with me and I will do my best to accommodate but certainly will be able to communicate about it. Thanks again for visiting! I hope to see you soon in our beautiful, Oldest Continually Occupied City in the United States! Happy travels, Laura :D

Laura provided us with an excellent tour customized to see hidden parts of St. Augustine we had not seen on previous visits. My husband and I are 80 and although we are quite fit for our age, Laura paced the tour so that it was interesting but not too taxing. The day was hot so she also was able to give a wonderful tour but walking mostly on shaded streets. I highly...

Oh Freida, that is so wonderful to hear! Thank you for your comments on my knowledge and fun tour tidbits, but I am especially happy that it worked out great for you guys, paced well, got to see and hear about new things, trying to hide from the punishing sun but also stayed in the area that worked for you, in line with your hotel and plans the rest of the day. Yay!! ...
