This was an excellent tour of Amelia Island packed with interesting historical information. Dan is a great storyteller making this tour really fun as well as informative. We also enjoyed seeing some lovely historical homes and learning the stories of the people who lived in them.

A really fun tour reliving the history and touring through the historic downtown area and seeing the beautiful houses in the silk stocking area and many other locations. Thank you for taking the time to take the tour with us and writing this wonderful review.

Daniel was extremely knowledgeable, funny and accommodating. Enjoyed his "storytelling" versus dry infomercial type delivery.

We always try to make our tours an experience that you will remember as being a high point of your vacation. Lots of history and some slightly off beat characters that exerted authority over this small island. I am so delighted that you had a great time and we really appreciate your taking the time out to leave this valuable feedback. It means everything to us to keep the bar really high in content and delivery. Thank you so very much!
