    I went on a walking tour of St. Augustine last week which took us by Flagler College but not inside. Today I decided to take the one hour tour inside Flagler College. It was a great decision and I really enjoyed it. Kayla and Donna were the tour guides and did a great job. We met in the rotunda and began the tour in the Flagler Room. It is a beautiful space that was originally the women's parlor. There are eleven Tiffany chandeliers in the room. We next went to the outside courtyard to learn about the hotel rooms/residence hall and outside features. Once back inside we learned about the rotunda. Our final destination was the beautiful dining hall with all of the stained glass windows and painted ceiling.

    I taken this tour twice, and both were equally great and slightly different. I went while the ladies lounge was closed due to possible water damage, and after when the new dining room chandelier was installed. Different students let the tour each time and did a super job. Remember to give your guide a tip at the end, beer and college parties won't fund themselves! Highly recommend.

    Front courtyard. The fountain is actually a sundial. The tower coming out of the water is said to imitate the hilt of a sword.

    We absolutely loved this tour! A real life Harry Potter/Hogwarts kind of feeling. Mia lead our tour and she was absolutely fantastic. The way she delivered each story had us hanging onto every word, excited to hear what else she was going to tell say. We left the college feeling so informed about all the paintings and many architectural designs, most of which left us speechless. So much we wouldn't have known had we not taken this tour. Highly recommend!!

    We had a great tour of Flagler College this morning. Our tour guide was Kit. He did a great job, although there was construction noise near the rotunda meeting area that was deafening at times. The architecture is fabulous and the history is interesting. To think that this property, which is so ornate & reminiscent of Harry Potter, is an active student campus is pretty amazing.

    The school is amazing by looking at it, so beautiful building and inside the hall is also very impressive. We also walked a bit in the campus, it's bigger than we thought. Nice place!

    Great tour with Ryan! Kept it lively and informative. Very cool to hear the inside scoop from college students about what it's like to be on campus at such a historic site. Beautiful building - they don't make them like this anymore. Would have been cool to see a guest room and/or an additional guest facility.

    The tour is really worth your time if you are in to history and architecture. The grounds and the building are so beautiful and it has a rich history. Incredible original pieces in there from Tiffany and Edison. The tour was only 45 minutes in length, so it will not eat up your day and you will leave there happy that you visited.

    Great tour through this amazing building! Our guide (Kate) was great. The tour group was small enough that we could all ask as many questions as we wanted. She explained in detail the history of the building, architectural features, and the current use (freshman dorms!) It's def a must see if you're in Saint Augustine!

    Wow. Wow wow and wow. To see the amazing craftsmanship and learn some of the history about this once incredible hotel is a must when in town.

    Great Tour, beautiful grounds, Student tour-guide was pleasant and informative, campus air conditioned and kept quite cool (welcomed) so much history in walking distance, a great place to continue education

    Definitely worth it! My husband and I went to St. Augustine last weekend for the first time, and one of the highlights of the weekend for us was this tour of Flagler College! The college was formerly the Hotel Ponce de Leon, built by railroad magnate Henry Flagler in 1888 (who is responsible for quite a bit of the fantastic architecture in this surprising beach town) and is a National Historic Landmark. The tour is about 45 minutes and is led by a current student of Flagler College. Our tour guide was a charming sophomore student whose voice carried SO well and was funny and bright. She walked our (quite large) group through four areas of the college - the courtyard outside, the lobby, the dining room, and the Flagler Room (formerly the Women's Grand Parlor). So you only see a few rooms, but you learn a lot about the hotel, the times (very popular in the late 1800s), and the college. Well worth the $10 fee (which supports the school)! I highly recommend you take this tour if it's your first visit to St. Augustine!

    This was my 3rd time booking a tour with Old Town Trolley Tours in Saint Augustine. Back in 2019?…read morewe visited for the first time and did the regular tour, then in 2024 we did the Ghost tour, and then this year, I once again did the regular tour. The gentlemen at the booth next to the cathedral was super sweet and gave a great lunch recommendation. We bought the Jail Tour and it's such a different experience seeing it during the day. It was definitely worth the cost. My favorite thing about OTT is that each driver adds their own flare. I will always recommend OTT if they're in a city that I visit.

    Our first visit to the Nights of Lights. It was a very nice trolley tour. Not the fault of the…read morecompany but I was disappointed just a little. I got the impression there were more lights than I saw. Still beautiful and glad we did it but just not what I had imagined. I thought every building in the area was covered with lights. The driver we had, don't know his name, was very informative and funny. He sang along with the songs, shouted out for the kids to find the elfs and we all laughed when he asked us to find the two red lights in the trees and to his surprise they had been turned off. Traffic is horrific and the seats are tight and hard so that was a little uncomfortable but again I am so glad we did this. I would just suggest going before Christmas or the last week. It might not be as crowded. We went the Saturday after Christmas. Not as busy as Dec 1-20th. Also we did the early tour at 6:30 and when we got back the line was crazy long for the other tour times.

    Very disappointing. This is advertised as a karaoke and holiday light tour with bubble machines and…read more3-D glasses, but none of that was provided--no bubble machine, no 3-D glasses, and only one microphone for a large group. There were 12 of us paying $45 each and taking up all the seats for this time slot, and the tour lasted just 19 minutes. We arrived only 6 minutes late, tours are booked on the hour, yet we didn't depart until 7:11 pm and were brought back at 7:29 pm--even though the next tour wasn't until 8:00. We did get hot cocoa and treats (as advertised), but overall it felt rushed, overpriced, and poorly run. Do NOT recommend. We were all very disappointed.

    Jennalee was great! We were the only ones on our tour and we arrived early so she gave us a little…read morebonus tour of the old area of town. Our first stop was an adorable little wine shop where they had a table set and ready for us as we entered. We were treated to 4 different wines and a delicious charcuterie plate. We had a hard time choosing from their many cute wine themed gifts that we wanted to take home for souvenirs (shopping was optional but hard to resist). Our second stop was a quirky little duck stop where we were served a fun bubbly drink! There was a nice shop there too. But the best was saved for last where we enjoyed a fabulous chardonnay along with a gourmet beef tenderloin kabob and potato pave (I believe). The restaurant was closed and we had the patio to ourselves along with the attention of the chef and the wait staff. It was a wonderful way to end the tour. Jennalee made sure she kept us on schedule throughout the tour without rushing us. En route to each stop, she shared her knowledge of the town, landmarks, and history-so interesting! And her laugh is contageous! We would recommend this tour to anyone visiting St. Augustine!
