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 so much for your support of our family owned business. We are thankful you chose us to take our Downtown City tour. The memorials, business architecture and the history (and even the "here are some great things coming to Jacksonville" information) is a wonderful way to learn about our city for sure. Again, thank you so much for your support and we hope you will come back to take one of our other tours with us. We appreciate YOU and your contribution to our country!

Our day started with meeting Toni, our half day tour guide, at our appointed spot. Our tour was educational and fun! We learned some history about downtown Jacksonville and saw some beautiful residential architecture. I felt like we stepped into the past. We quietly glided along the streets in our Tuk mobile and I never felt like we were being obtrusive in the quaint neighborhoods. Toni shared so much information and answered all our questions. All of us needed a little break from our lives in South Carolina and we got the respite we were looking for. I highly recommend the quality of this company and we will be back for sure, on a different tour!

It is our way of helping to ensure our history and these two communities continue to thrive and remain the amazing landmarks they are. Again, thank you so much for your support.
