My husband and I went on this historic tour and enjoyed it immensely. Beth, our tour guide, was excellent!!! Her knowledge of the area was exceptional and my husband, who was a History teacher, was very impressed. Beth was very friendly. She recommended several restaurants, which we really appreciated since this was our first time visiting Amelia Island. We would recommend this tour 100%.

Beth Williams certainly knows her Fernandina/Amelia Island history. Interested in getting the story behind the Isle of Eight Flags, look no further. Beth met us down on the waterfront in a clean, comfortable van and spent 90 minutes touring the area sharing many fun facts along with some surprising history of the area. Worth every penny!
