Excellent tour guide, Daniel, brought Amelia Islands amazing history to life. My husband and I learned so much about this place and it’s incredible history. Daniel spoke to us the entire 2 hours and is a wonderful story teller. Don’t miss this tour. It also helps that the comfortable van is air conditioned . The day was quite hot.
