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.

Toni really cared that my wife and I had a good time, starting by calling us early to say she was on the way and confirming our pickup location, and then spending as much time as we wanted at each site, answering all of our questions and responding to all of our observations. This was our first morning in Jacksonville, and could have been a "check the boxes" experience, but Toni wanted to give us the opportunity to love Jacksonville as much as she does. Of course, that's not possible, because she loves the city SO MUCH, but her enthusiasm was thrilling and lovely. Instead of feeling like customers, we felt like her dear friends, and here she is encouraging us to take a trip with her through the wonder and history of this amazing city. That genuine joy gave us both a tingle for the rest of the week we were there, and set the perfect tone for our trip. Thank you, Toni!
