Bed & Breakfast Holiday Tour

Please note: The Bed and Breakfast Holiday Tour has been cancelled for 2020, 2021 and 2022, but will return in 2023.

The information below is from the 2019 tour:

St. Augustine Historic Inns presents its annual tour of over 20 downtown bed and breakfasts decorated for the holidays. The 26th Annual Bed and Breakfast Holiday Tour will take place on Saturday and Sunday, December 14 and 15, 2019. Additionally, a number of museums, historical sites, and other cultural partners will be open in conjunction with the tour on both days and on the bonus day of Monday, December 16, 2019. This year's theme is "The Movies of Christmas."

Guests are given a tour guide package with a map to help them navigate the tour. Along with showing off their best Christmas presentations, the bed and breakfasts partner with some of the finest restaurants in the area to provide delicious food and drink throughout the tour. Each inn partners with one restaurant or culinary specialist, so the samplings are representative of the best each individual local restaurant has to offer.

Tickets go on sale on September 2, 2019. Visit here to purchase tickets. Prices for the 2019 tour are $40.00 through the end of September and $45.00 beginning October 1. The tour fills up quickly, so everyone is encouraged to make their reservations as soon as possible.

The Saturday tour features bed and breakfasts on the north side of the downtown area, while Sunday's tour showcases the inns on the south side of the historic district. Monday is the bonus day that includes several museums, attractions, and cultural organizations, some of which are also available to visit on Saturday and Sunday. Please see below for a complete schedule for each day. Visit here for the most up-to-date list of participating inns and restaurants.

This is a self-guided walking tour. Each day, the inns are grouped into distinct geographical areas to keep the walking to a minimum, and there is also an option to hop on the complimentary Old Town Trolley shuttle. Though the shuttle doesn't stop at every inn, it makes several stops at strategic locations along the route to provide guests with a break from walking. The Trolley shuttle will operate from 12:00 to 4:00 p.m. on every day of the tour except Monday. Instead of the complimentary shuttle service on Monday, December 16, Old Town Trolleys will offer tour participants a $10 discount on a full-day ticket for the regular trolley tour.
