Great experience
Very nice experience, not the cookie cutter tour you get with some of the trollys. We had a private tour and learned quite a bit of history.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear that you enjoyed a unique, non-cookie-cutter experience and appreciated the private tour. Sharing the rich history of St. Augustine in a more personal and relaxed way is something we truly pride ourselves on. We’re glad you learned a lot and had a great time, and we hope to welcome you back again on your next visit!

A Bit of a Disappointment
I booked a private golf cart which when I booked the tour it showed a brightly lit decorated golf cart and we got a poorly lit one. The tour goes on busy streets which is heavily trafficked. My 5 year old was not enjoying it There were good informative information but very disappointing overall. We could have just walked or drove the same streets.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that this experience did not meet your expectations, especially while traveling with your 5-year-old. Our tours do travel on public streets in the historic district, which can be busy at certain times, and while all of our golf carts are decorated for visibility and safety, lighting styles can vary by vehicle and night. We’re glad to hear you found some of the information informative, but we sincerely regret that the overall experience was disappointing for your family. We appreciate your honest review, as it helps us continue to improve and better communicate what guests can expect on our tours.

Excellent tour!
This was an excellent tour! Our tour guide Jack was very informative. We had our 8 and 10 year old grandsons with us. Jack spoke to them in terms they could understand, keeping them interested and asking questions. I would highly recommend this tour!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We’re absolutely thrilled to hear that you and your grandsons had such a great experience and that Jack was able to keep them engaged and excited throughout the tour. Making history fun and accessible for guests of all ages is something we truly strive for, and it means a lot to know he connected so well with your 8- and 10-year-olds. We really appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome your family back again soon for another memorable Panda Tours adventure!

Excellent time
The lights were beautiful and our guide was very helpful and knowledgeable of the history of St Augustine The only negative was that it was so crowded in the city that it made it difficult to get around . Our guide was a very safe driver as well. Amanda who manages the Panda Tour Co was great !!!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful lights and that your guide was helpful, knowledgeable about the history of St. Augustine, and a safe driver—those things are incredibly important to us. The city can definitely become very crowded during peak times, especially during Nights of Lights, and we truly appreciate your patience and understanding. Thank you as well for your kind words about Manda and Panda Tours—it truly means a lot. We hope to welcome you back again for another memorable experience!

Why this scores 49
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Nights of Lights Private Electric Joy Ride up to 7 People!: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for St Augustine.
How much does Nights of Lights Private Electric Joy Ride up to 7 People! cost?
+
Prices start at $250 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in St Augustine usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Nights of Lights Private Electric Joy Ride up to 7 People! take?
+
Plan for about 0.8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in St Augustine is not rushed.
Is Nights of Lights Private Electric Joy Ride up to 7 People! worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in St Augustine, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Nights of Lights Private Electric Joy Ride up to 7 People!?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Nights of Lights Private Electric Joy Ride up to 7 People! suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Nights of Lights Private Electric Joy Ride up to 7 People!?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in St Augustine can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in St Augustine and add a light layer if any part of the 0.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Nights of Lights Private Electric Joy Ride up to 7 People! start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central St Augustine within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in St Augustine?
+
St Augustine is walkable history: Castillo de San Marcos, Spanish quarter walking tours, trolley loops, lighthouse climbs and some of the best-attended ghost tours in the country. Guide storytelling quality is the main variable. On Outty we rank every St Augustine experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Medieval Torture Museum with Ghost Hunting and Tiny Art Gallery, St. Augustine's Wine, Cocktail and Food Experience, Dolphin and Wildlife Adventure of St. Augustine. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit St Augustine?
+
February to May and September to November. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in St Augustine?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
