About Us
Our Background
My wife Angie and I have over thirty years experience in the tourism business in St. Augustine. Our main point of that experience has been in the educational field trip arena, as well as public historical tours. Angie is even a Black Powder Certified historical re-enactor for the Castillo de San Marcos, which means she gets to fire cannons! Which is just as much fun as it sounds. She always says "it's a blast!"
How It all Started
Don Juan Ponce de Leon was the first European to land in this area in 1513. He claimed the land in the name of Spain, naming this the "land of flowers" or La Florida.
Castillo de San Marcos
The 'old fort' as it is lovingly referred to locally is the basis for St. Augustine being a historical vacation destination. A key military structure from its completion in 1695 into the 20th century. Come let us share the story of this magnificent structure.
School Field Trips
The city of St. Augustine has played the most important role in the history of Florida.

Allow us to make your field trip experience the perfect combination of engagement, entertainment and education, creating memories your students will never forget!
