We used the Red Train to get around the city during our trip. What a great way to see the ancient city. There are stops everywhere you need to be and the narrators are fantastic. We found ourselves just circling around the city and no too rides were the same. It also seems to not draw as much of a... More

This was our first "day trip" to St. Augustine and, not knowing exactly what we wanted to see, we decided to ride the Sightseeing Train to get our bearings as to where we wanted to spend our time. It was a great investment and the driver was fantastic! He not only knew everything about everywhere/everyone but he had a great... More

We finally made our first trip to St. Augustine and wanted to learn a little about the city. We got tickets to the Red Train and couldn't have been more pleased. The train makes 22 stops in the downtown area and riders are able to get off one train and board another later on. The tickets are good for 3... More

I've been to St. Augustine 5 times now and been on both trolley services offered. The Red Train trolley service offers a 3 day pass for unlimited use of the trolley during those three days, a whistle in a train shape, discounts to Ripley's Museum and The Ghost Train, as well as free parking in certain areas, as told by...

In January we visited St. Augustine Florida. We took the St. Augustine Sightseeing Train tour. Our first introduction was the person who sold us our ticket. She went above and beyond to find us the best rate for the trip so that we could stay on budget. Then we were escorted by a special bus from one stop to another... More

Riding the "Red Trains" is the best way to get around the city! The free parking is great! My only comment is I wish they had longer hours in the summer months. More

A few days ago, I and a group from my church took the St. Augustine Sightseeing Train - it was a very informative and fun time. We got off a couple times and toured a few areas, and returned to the train and went to other parts of the Oldest City. Along the way, we learned about the History of... More

The best and most informative way to see the city is using the sightseeing trains. The city is full of history and there is no better way to get it than on one of the sightseeing trains. The drives will give a talk pointing out various historical sites and the history behind it. The passes are ususally good for 3... More

Most of the tour drivers are fantastic. You will learn a lot about the area. If you are unfortunate enough to get the one we got at the end, you won't learn anything nor will you understand anything. He talked like he was in a speed reading course and it was awful. He didn't care about what he was doing... More
