Luis and Anes

St. Augustine Land and Sea Tours was created by husband and wife team Anes and Luis of city of St. Augustine with certified tour guides in order to offer a more complete visit to the Oldest City to both English and Spanish speakers.

Anes and Luis have ample experience in tourism having owned and operated several similar businesses in their native Puerto Rico before moving to St Augustine with their children during the summer of 2016 and immediately fell in love with St Augustine’s history and feel with the Spanish architecture, narrow streets, Spanish fort and similar historic past.

They created St Augustine Land and Sea Tours in order to service both English and Spanish speakers by combining land tours and water tours for a complete experience on the Old City.

They currently offer a variety of tours both privately for small groups and families and shared that anyone can join.

All these tours activities take place mostly outdoors or in places where social distancing can be maintained so folks can fell at ease during these challenging times.

I have always lived a very active lifestyle and enjoy traveling. I started visiting St. Augustine over a decade ago. Then my 2 children decided to attend university in Florida. Now, I call St. Augustine my home. St. Augustine and the people continue to amaze and connect me to the great world, called humanity. It brings me great pleasure to share those wonders and history with others. I am looking forward to joining the next group of guests, as I venture through our town St. Augustine!

My name is Robert Lenz.  I am a former journalist, native Floridian, and bilingual St. Augustine city certified tour guide.  St. Augustine’s more than 450 years of history provide for a unique experience.  It would be my pleasure to open the curtains on its rich and varied past. I believe my experience as a journalist, pride in the diversity that St. Augustine represents, serves for an unforgettable trip.

Hi, I'm Bob Padour. It has been my dream since childhood to live in Florida. That dream came true in May 2021. I am blessed to be here in St. Augustine. I love this city, it's people, it's fascinating history, and of course, it's ghosts! I have never lived in a house that was not haunted, and I wouldn't have it any other way!

I grew up in Wisconsin, where it is mostly cold but very beautiful. I love dogs. If I'm not talking about ghosts, I'm talking about my dogs. You've been warned. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 2018 at the age of 59 with a BA in Theatre. I really recommend studying harder and graduating younger. I've been a storyteller since I was a child, and I've truly found my niche here at Land and Sea Tours.

Hi!! I am Cindra. I have been a tour guide in Saint Augustine for 7 years now. I LOVE our history and the architecture of this beautiful historic town. I started with the Trolley; yes I can drive the trolleys too! I have done walking tours with the children; all Florida classes come to Saint Augustine during their fourth grade year as part of their history class. I am also part of a Pirate Crew here in Saint Augustine, the Swashbucklers, and we do a lot of events to raise money for children in the area. I even get to be a Mermaid!

I consider myself a Southeasterner my roots are spread all over the Southeast, Texas, Louisiana, South Carolina and Florida. I went to high school in West Palm Beach, became a Firefighter in Louisiana, and raised my children in South Carolina. Each one has its own beauty and style, but none compare to Saint Augustine, Fl.

I am a mother of five and a grandmother to 10. I love painting in my quiet time. Not that I am really good but it is really good for me. I love to walk on the beach, what a leg work out that can be. I enjoy just walking around Saint Augustine and people watching. I am also hooked on Cruises! I like to go a couple times a year, but if I can get in one then I am happy! I am excited to be able to share this beautiful city and all the history with you!
