The best part of our experience was our guide, Daniel Daly. His knowledge of Amelia Island and Fernandina Beach is nothing short of amazing. And his friendly way of conveying it is a pleasure.

We really appreciate your taking the time to write a extremely complimentary review. The tours are always fun, but more so when there is an interaction and the riders get involved in the history of the Island. Thank you once again and hope to see you again soon.

My wife and i spent a most enjoyable afternoon with Daniel. As a history buff i truly enjoy the company of someone that is passionate as am I. the love he had for what he does made us appreciate the history of Amelia Island far more than we had anticipated. If you enjoy chatting about the history of Amelia Island and history in general i suspect have Daniel give you a tour
