I have very mixed feelings about this tour. I found it very interesting. The driver was very knowledgeable, so I learned a lot. Having said that, I have a couple of complaints. First, I'm 62. I found it difficult getting on and off the trolley. If you were on the wrong side to exit, the people in your row were forced to get off themselves to let you by. For this reason, there wasn't a lot of hopping on and off. The bench seats are extremely narrow and uncomfortable. The worst thing was the driver. I thought he did a good job in explaining all the interesting spots, and he clearly knows his stuff. However, in between, he told a lot of lame jokes. That would be fine, but I felt there were way too many jokes about women... How much money women spend, women drivers... I mean, these jokes were offensive in the 1950s. It's time to stop. If it was 1 joke, I would let it go, but it was several. I'm not in general overly sensitive, but this guy really struck a nerve. I intend to return to St. Augustine next year. I won't take the trolley again, but now I know the spots I want to check out, so that is a positive.I will go on my own. One more thing, you are encouraged to buy tickets to attractions ahead of time and you will save a few bucks if you do. I wouldn't recommend it unless you know exactly where you want to go. I bought tickets to the Fountain of Youth and to Alligator Park - both of which I really enjoyed. The problem is I spent so much time at the Fountain of Youth, I was worried about getting to Alligator Park later than I wanted, but I had already...
Read moreThe trolley is definitely the way to go. Get on and off for most of the day whenever you want and hear about the history of St Augustine. We had some great trolley drivers....Irish, Preacher, and James were fun and engaging as well as great drivers. It poured buckets on our 2nd day and they were keeping us up to date as to what stops were closed due to flooding and making sure everyone stayed safe since the trolley got very slippery with all the rain. It was greatly appreciated that they passed out rain ponchos to everyone. We only had one driver that didn't even say his name and had some erratic driving (young guy dark brown curly hair with aviator sunglasses). Be mindful, you have to pay for parking at the trolley station by Ripleys but it's free at other locations. The trolley only runs till about 4 so after that you have to walk around yourself and parking isn't free on the streets and lots till 5, 6 in some areas. Make sure to eat at Harry's and get a hurricane, be prepared to wait at least an...
Read moreI would love to give a great review. The drivers were great! The issue I had was the lady that worked at 11am on 5/2/25 at the front desk. I simply wanted to purchase a ticket for the trolley tour to see all the sights on the route before purchasing a package for attractions that are along the route. She pushed me to try to purchase a package deal to save money. However, i simply wanted the trolley tour to see what the town had to offer before buying tickets for the attractions. After telling her I will wait, she looked at my wife and told me that is why I'm not married and why I divorced my ex husband. When i stated, she's lucky to have me as I am her, she gave my wife a very aggregious smile. She was extremely snotty for not purchasing attractions tickets at that time. I would guess, they are working commission and pushing customers to buy attractions. Just wish I could relax for once while on a vacation!
In addition, the trolley ends at 430pm. Way too early to end the...
