The Eight Flags Tour was amazing! Our Tour Guide Daniel had so much knowledge of the island and it’s history and everything was fascinating! We were seated in a comfortable air conditioned van and he got us up and close with so many interesting locations. I would highly recommend to first-time visitors to Amelia - we learned so much!!
