Mr. Daniel Daly took Lynn and I on a tour of Fernandina and what we learned about this mystical place totally mesmerized us. We knew that this place was full of diverse history, but what Daniel showed us and then backed up with detailed historical facts was eye-opening and wonderful. The array of personalities that have made their mark on Fernandina and Amelia Island is remarkable and surprising to boot. Daniel is historically knowledgeable and visibly passionate about the history of Fernandina and that makes for a GREAT TOUR...a magical history tour...no pun intended, Ringo!
