This building that use to be a hotel is now a college and you can take tours of it. Very interesting!!. It would have been nice to see an actual guestroom that is now a dorm room on the tour. more

This is an incredible architectural gem...inside and out. The history of Flagler and his hotel is important to experience if you're staying in St. Augustine. more
Flagler College offers short tours of a few of their more well known buildings every day (possibly except sunday - not sure) on the hour until 3pm. The cost was $6/person (as of July 08) and was well worth the cost. Our guide was knowledgable and had some interesting stories about the history of this school. Plus, the cost of... more
The college grounds in general and now operating as a residence/diniing hall for Flagler College - the completely restored "Ponce de Leon" resort hotel - is an amazing glimpse into the "birth of Florida as a tourist destination" through the vision of Henry Flagler - the college's namesake. The opulence of "The Ponce" is beyond description as are it's surrounding... more
We had done our research and Flager College was in the top three places we wanted to visit during our four day vacation to St. Augustine. We were not disappointed. Although we would have liked to have been able to see some of the places where the actual students live and work, such as their library, visiting the dining hall,... more

While visiting the 4th of July weekend, I decided to take the tour. Now all I can say now is "Why DID'NT I... more
Excellent tour by a student named Emily, done with knowledge and humor. Seeing the splendor of the old hotel may have been one of the real highlights of our vacation. more
We really enjoyed the tour. The building is beautiful. We learned a lot about Mr. Flagler and his resort hotels. more
A tour of this small, private Florida college gives you a glimpse into Tiffany glass, interesting paintings and history. There are too many attractions in St. Augustine to see all of them, but this is one highlight you shouldn't miss. Arrive early to see the video (which we missed most of since we didn't know about arriving early....) more
The tour and tour guide were both awesome. I've been on this tour twice and each time it was a good experience. You would not believe all of the small details that were put in to make a large detail. The tour is informative and worth taking. I do wish they had shown us more of the historic building, but... more
