Private St Augustine Historic City Tour by Electric Moke — Castillo, Flagler & Lighthouse
Select participants and date
You pull up to a low-slung, electric Moke and the city seems to lean in: brick streets, iron-laced balconies, and a tide of Spanish moss in the live oaks. The Moke’s open sides frame the scene—no glass between you and the city’s weathered facades—so salt air and tour-guide stories arrive the same way. For the next hour you glide past the Castillo de San Marcos, thread narrow lanes off St. George Street, and make a rare stop at the St. Augustine Lighthouse, each stop punctuated by the soft hum of the vehicle rather than the rattle of a trolley.
