Half-Day City Tour in Downtown Jacksonville

Overview

In 1901, the great fire of Jacksonville quickly swept through the area and destroyed our downtown. Thankfully architects from around the world heard about our plight and came to help us design our buildings. On this wonderful tour, you will also experience several memorials and the oldest living thing in our city, the great Treaty Oak. A fun addition is being able to ride in our luxury tuk tuk over our historic Main Street bridge.

History, Business Architectural Achievements, Memorials and more. Your Downtown Jacksonville City tour has it all – plus hidden gems locals don’t even know about! Explore beautiful city landscape of Downtown Jacksonville and learn about the region’s rich and varied history at the beach and along the banks of the St. John’s River.

Katie was an excellent guide for us. She knew so much about the architecture & history of the various buildings she showed us. We had a personal tour & we were able to ask as many questions as we wanted. She was so informative & a pleasure to have show us around the downtown area. The history is very rich & we learned a lot thanks to Katie!! She gets a 5 star rating for sure!!

Excellent tour of downtown Jacksonville in a comfortable tuk tuk which is like a golf cart. We had been to Jacksonville many times, but had never appreciated all the beautiful architecture. KATIE, our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. A great afternoon!
