The St. Augustine Chocolate and Sweets Tour blends flavors and history by combining two distinct tours. You'll walk the city's historic district, passing landmarks such as the Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine and the Governor's House Cultural Center and Museum, while your guide shares stories of the area's past. Along the way, you'll sample chocolate, pralines, and other treats from St. Augustine's shops and eateries. Coffee, tea, and bottled water are provided during the tour, which the operator describes as a walk that pairs the city's history with its sweets.
This tour pairs a history walk with tastings, so it suits travelers who want to learn something and snack their way through the old district at the same time. You walk past landmarks including the Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine and the Governor's House Cultural Center and Museum while your guide shares the area's past, then sample chocolate, pralines, and other treats from local shops along the way. That combination fits people who find a straight history tour too dry and a pure food tour too light.
St. Augustine is one of the oldest European-founded cities in the country, and its compact historic core makes a walking-and-tasting format easy to follow on foot. Because it centers on sweets, it is a fit for anyone with a taste for chocolate, though those avoiding sugar will get less from it. Coffee, tea, and bottled water are provided along the route. Choose it when you want history and dessert in one easygoing daytime walk.
