The tour guide did a good job explaining the various rooms of this old boarding house and everything appeared to be authentic. We found the descriptions of life in the old days to be interesting but my guess is you need to be the museum going type to appreciate it.

Our daughter's 2006 outdoor wedding took place on the grounds of The Oldest House, which is the other name locals have given this historic site. There is a ancient live oak tree in the enclosed garden that was the perfect backdrop. Carol, the event coordinator, could not have been more helpful.

Really enjoyed the authentic settings each room presented. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave us interesting stories regarding each room. I felt like we got a real taste of what life was like during that period. I would return to hear and see it all over again.

Our 9th generation St.Augustinian tour guide was very knowledgable and had a great, dry swense of humor. The building is very well furnished with period pieces, a few from the actual owners. An excellent example of the local history.

After reading the positive reviews of the Ximenez Fatio house on Trip Advisor, I decided that this was a house I definitely wanted to tour. I toured the house with my husband and two other family members on March 10 and was not disappointed. Our entire group enjoyed the tour immensely. Our guide Calen was informative, well-prepared, and enthusiastic about Florida, especially St. Augustine, history. This tour is well worth the $7.00 ($5.00 for seniors) ticket price. I hope to return again next year.

This is why you come to St. Augustine. Like going to the Grand Canyon to see the canyon rather than auxiliary claptrap. Ximenez-Fatio is first rate. That and anything Flagler touched. If you're open minded you'll enjoy all of St. Augustine from the tee shirt shops to the beautiful Flagler College. But if you only have time for one thing go to the X-F house

This historical boarding house captures the essence of time past with authentic period furnishings, decor, usage of space. It tells a story of bygone days. The personalized tour is worth more than its price of admission of $7 per adult, $5 per senior. Thank you to those responsible for this wonderful resource.

The guides were very informative. The different rooms provide a variety of scenes that exhibit what life was like when the boarding house was in it's heyday.

Tour was amazing as we learned so much about the history of St. Augustine from the Spanish times to now. The boarding house is furnished as of 1700's and each room tells the story of one of the people who stayed here. As one of the oldest buildings here in the oldest area of the city it is well worth the 1 hour tour and a bargain of a price. Don't miss it!

We were in a tour led by Kalen today and what a marvelous your guide he was. He was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and had lots of little tid-bits of information that made the tour all that much more fun. The House itself was a boarding house owned by 3 different people and not only is much of it original to the house itself, but the furniture, the decorations and the accouterments are also original to the period. We toured the various rooms, the kitchen, the garden and the private quarters of the owner. We learned history , architecture, class systems, clothing, and a wealth of other bits of information that he wove together into a wonderful tour. Outside, in the yard we were able to witness an architectural 'dig' conducted by the St Augustine Archeologist supervising the volunteer 'diggers.' We were able to see the dig itself, ask any questions we had, watch how an area is 'surveyed' to see if there is anything valuable underneath and watch all the various tasks in a dig. The house, the dig, all a marvelous experience. But, make sure you watch the film about the house before you take the tour - it will enrich your experience.
