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.

The architect of the buildings is really nice to see and until someone points these things out you don’t realize it. It was good to hear the different stories about the city and the fire of 1904. We had a good time

Such a great way to learn and explore downtown Jacksonville! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and such a caring host! It was a bit windy so he brought out heavy blankets and cooler for refreshments as well! Definitely recommend it for a fun and interactive way to get to know the city!
