This was a fabulous way to learn all about the amazing history of the island and Fernandina Beach! Our guide, Daniel Daly, was delightful and entertaining while giving us all the interesting stories of the area which really helped us to take better advantage of the following days. He is a true scholar who obviously loves sharing his knowledge! There is so much to see and learn about the area that we would have missed completely without this tour! FABULOUS!!
