We spent the morning on our first day in Fernandina Beach taking this tour and it as the perfect way to learn about the history of this amazing place and get our "bearings" around the island! Daniel was a great guide and provided so much information during the tour. Everyone wore their masks while in the van, so we never felt uncomfortable. Highly recommend this tour for first time visitors!
