We had so much fun and learned a lot from Aleksy. He was very attentive and took extra effort to care for my 90 yr old aunt. Highly recommend him if you're in St. Augustine!

What a wonderfully interesting tour of St Augustine! Aleksey filled our four hour tour with the history of the city and visits to the major sights. We appreciated that he arrived promptly for our pickup and transported us efficiently to and from the places we visited. We truly enjoyed the tour.

Renee C.
We had a terrific 4 hour tour with Aleksey. He showed us St Augustine with all its amazing features and historical settings. Aleksey was extremely knowledgeable and very personable. He focused on the history that made the city into the unique place it is today, and he also modified our tour to suit our particular areas of interest. He is a gem — with a great sense of humor.

When it comes to touring a city: You must offer a combination of knowledge, history and fun facts You must know the hidden treasures as well as the obvious attractions You must communicate with words that are adapted to your customer You must add a grain of humor and kindness That is all what Aleksey has given us during our tour. Thank you again for a wonderful time.
