Really engaging tour! Daniel loves what he does and it shows. He gave us a little bit of the homes tour and the eight flags tour. He was funny, engaging, and informative. I've been going to Amelia Island for years and went to places I had never visited. I would definitely recommend the tour.

Thank you for your much appreciated 5 star review. There have been many colorful characters and an incredible diversity of history on this island. It is alway our intention to make this a fact based tour but also to inject as much fun as we go to make this a memorable experience for our guests. The vans cleanliness is always a major part of every trip with deep sanitation and the use of aromatherapy scents to create a relaxing atmosphere. Thank you for noticing this as it is a central part to everyday hygiene for the comfort of travelers.
