Take a lunchtime tour with Monica!
See the Burg through new eyes as Monica details the evolution of the city from sleepy fishing village to world class cultural destination. This tour will reveal history hiding in plain sight, like the first fire station, repurposed into hip restaurants and a coffee shop. You’ll see how a funeral home from the city’s era as God’s Waiting Room has been resurrected as a trendy steakhouse. We’ll see the most beautiful building in the city and the oldest one too, whose architecture was influenced by our unlikely Russian origins. You’ll hear stories of Civil Rights heroes, real estate hustlers, and the characters that shaped St. Pete, making it the most dynamic city in Florida. You’ll also:
Monica’s exhaustive knowledge of St. Pete history, paired with her passionate delivery, have made her a popular tour guide and speaker for more than 15 years. She holds a Master’s Degree in Florida Studies and the faded eyesight of someone who has spent far too many years examining old newspapers.
