We loved the tour and all that we learned about Amelia Island! Wilhelm was a great tour guide. He was very pleasant and answered all of our questions. He even took us back to one of the beautiful houses on the tour so we could get better pictures. I would definitely recommend taking this tour when you are in Amelia Island!
