Fun way to spend the morning. Be sure to call and book ahead. I'm glad we didn't try to see they sights on our own, we would have missed out on so much of the history as related by the guide. He also took us to some out of the way places not listed in the local tour guides. We were there in the middle of the week and were lucky enough to have a "private tour", we were the only ones booked that morning. Dan was very friendly and we had a good time.

The 8 flags tour of Amelia Island was very enjoyable and informative. I didn't remember my driver's name but he was very informative and engaging about the area and its history. Well worth the time and money.
