St. Augustine Day Tour from Orlando

About this experience

The St. Augustine Day Tour from Orlando is a guided van excursion to St. Augustine, the oldest continuously occupied European-established settlement in the United States, founded by Spanish colonists in 1565. Departing from 420 S Orange Ave, the roundtrip journey covers roughly 10 hours and takes in the historic district on foot, where cobblestone streets and colonial-era architecture set the scene for one of the most historically layered cities on the East Coast. For visitors exploring things to do in Orlando who want to reach beyond the theme parks, this tour offers a well-structured day out. The itinerary moves through several of St. Augustine's most significant landmarks, including Castillo de San Marcos, the 17th-century Spanish stone fort that remains the oldest masonry fort in the continental United States, Fort Matanzas, Flagler College, and the Lightner Museum, housed in the former Alcazar Hotel built by Henry Flagler in 1888. Tickets cover roundtrip van transportation from Orlando and a guided tour of the historic district. Entrance fees to individual attractions, food, drinks, and gratuities are not included. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, and free cancellation is available up to the start of the timeslot.
