Experience St. Augustine in Style on a Private Premium Golf Cart Tour
Imagine exploring the oldest city in the United States while sitting comfortably in a sleek, state-of-the-art electric golf cart. For $199 per group (up to 7 people), you get 1.5 hours of private sightseeing, guided by a licensed expert who knows all the best stories and hidden corners. The tour picks you up within the Downtown or West King areas—no fuss, no stress—and takes you on a tailored journey through St. Augustine’s many historic districts and iconic sights.
What we love most about this experience is how flexible and intimate it is. First, the customizable themes—whether you’re interested in haunted history, the Spanish colonial era, the Flagler period, or the Gilded Age—allow you to craft a tour that fits your interests perfectly. And second, the luxury electric vehicle offers a smooth, quiet ride with premium lights and sound, making the journey feel special without feeling overly touristy.
A potential consideration is that, since the tour lasts just 1.5 hours, it’s best suited for those with a good sense of what they want to see. If you’re looking for an in-depth, day-long exploration, this short but sweet ride might leave you wanting more. Also, keep in mind that admission fees to attractions are not included—so plan to budget extra if you want to go inside sites like the Lightner Museum or Castillo de San Marcos.
This tour appeals most to small groups, couples, or friends who want a personalized, relaxing way to see St. Augustine’s highlights. It’s perfect if you prefer a comfortable, guided experience that respects your preferences and allows for spontaneous stops and photos.
