My family discovered Amelia Island three years ago and fell in love immediately. This year we decided to take the Eight Flags Tour and were not disappointed. Daniel’s knowledge of the Island’s history was amazing. His stories were so intriguing that before we knew it our tour was over. The small details the he uses in his stories really affirm all the facts he shares. We highly recommend this tour whether it is your first time in the area or you have been visiting for years.

The houses were beautiful and with Daniel Daly as the guide they came to life for us. He is very knowledgeable and presents very charismatically. His stories about some of the residents were fascinating. The history of the area was very interesting. We recommend the tour without reservation.
