What To Expect

Riverside/Avondale Historic District

These historic neighborhoods have many parks, historic homes, and shoppes plus such much more to see and learn. These neighborhoods were created mainly after our famous 1901 fire that destroyed our downtown. Several famous Southern Rock bands started their musical career here in this area, so you'll get to see where it all began. Memorial Park, dedicated to our WWI fallen community members. And so much more.

Memorial Park

This park is dedicated to the fallen WWI from our city. This beautiful park overlooks the St. John's River as well.

Although Jacksonville has less central downtown sightseeing this trip shows you the diverse home architecture in the many districts. We saw places designed to look like Hampton court of Henry the eighth and much more. Great guide Toni full of passion for her town.

We enjoyed this tour so much. I have recommended it to many people. We got history on the old houses in Riverside and Avondale and learned about the architecture. It was a beautiful day.

Thank you for taking our Jacksonville Residential Architecture & History tour. We love showing off Riverside and Avondale to our guests. The park system is spectacular and all the unique stories just top it all off. Thank you for taking the tour with us. We appreciate the support of our family created and owned company. We hope you will see us again for one of our other 17+ tours. Steph Dale Founder/Chief Tuk'n Officer

Overall a good tour, guide was informative. Could be improved by offering bath room breaks. In original review gave four stars, but owner, provided the following cavalier response: ..."The guide stops at the shoppes of Avondale for your break including to use the restroom. At any point, you can let the guide know you need to use the facilities. And the guide also asks our guest about using the restroom prior to starting the tour and to let them know if they need to use the restroom. I am so sorry you felt the need to lower the ranking of the tour over bathrooms which could have easily been addressed by asking the guide as instructed..." This comment is inappropriate assumes we are lying and blames the customer for their internal process and training issues. Adjusting the review to below average....do not recommend this tour or company.
