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.

Thank you for taking our Downtown City Tour. I am so sorry the trip advisor representative made an erroneous statement - unfortunately Trip Advisor is a 3rd party company and we have no control of their training nor their website. BUT so thankful you choose Go Tuk'n to provide the amazing history, architecture, memorials and much more of our downtown. As a family owned business, we are so thankful for your support! We hope to see you again when you come back to Jacksonville.

My sisters and I took a half day tour with Steve and had a great time. He was very funny and had great stories but more importantly, he was very knowledgeable about Jacksonville and the history. Very fun and interesting tour!
