Downtown St. Petersburg Guided Tour

Embark on an experience that combines history, folklore, architecture and hidden tales on a guided tour of downtown St. Petersburg and south/north Pinellas. Aboard a luxury minivan, your historian guide will take you from the days of the conquistadors to more modern anecdotes linked to figures such as Robert E. Lee, Al Capone and Marilyn Monroe, drawing a surprising and cohesive narrative of the Tampa Bay area.

The tour is tailored to your interests: you can tour the coastal splendour of St. Pete Beach and Pass-a-grille, learn about military history at Fort De Soto, and explore charming towns like Dunedin, Safety Harbor and Gulfport. Each stop is designed to reveal cultural "nuggets" that even many locals don't know about, be they iconic murals, urban legends or secrets of their socio-political evolution.

Along the way, stories of battles, regional development and curiosities alternate with stops that allow you to take pictures, stretch your legs and soak up the atmosphere. The combination of live narration with the comfort of transportation ensures that the time flies by and the visitor leaves with a deeper understanding of what makes this region of Florida unique.

The guide not only narrates facts, but contextualises: why Fort De Soto was built for the Spanish-American War, how the origins of towns like Clearwater intertwine with its present, and what myths and supposed apparitions or supernatural events are part of local folklore. It is a tour that mixes the tangible with the narrative, the historical with the emotional.
