What Guests Are Saying

★★★★★

"An eye-opening and important experience" This quest shared history that is not always highlighted in standard tours. We walked away with a much deeper understanding of St. Augustine's role in the Civil Rights movement and the stories of its Black residents through the centuries.

"Powerful, educational, and beautifully done" The Black History Quest took us to places we would never have found on our own and told stories that deserve to be heard. Our whole group was moved by what we learned. A truly meaningful experience.

"History that changed how I see this city" I have visited St. Augustine many times but this quest showed me a completely different perspective on its past. The locations were significant and the information was thoughtful and well-researched. Highly recommend.
