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.

Wanted to show my friends around my neighborhood where I have lived for a few years. Even though I routinely run in the area past many of the houses we discussed, I realized after Toni’s tour how much I didn’t know. My friends were amazed by beauty and the architecture, and appreciated Toni’s in depth knowledge. As a local resident I appreciated the tour even more. I will never view my neighborhood the same way. Experience was a lot of fun!

This tour is fantastic. We have lived here for a few years and haven't had a chance to explore downtown Jacksonville. This tour introduced us to Jacksonville and all that is going on in the downtown area (sports arena improvement, parks being added, MOSH relocation, places to eat) and the areas of Riverside, Brooklyn and Avondale. We can't say enough good things about our tour guide Toni. She is knowledgeable about the area, history and architect. Toni is easy to talk with and answers all our questions. She is a safe driver. And we enjoyed riding in the Tuk carts. This was the perfect tour for my husband who loves historic buildings and homes. This is on our list of things to do when we have people from out of town visiting. Go Tuk'n has other tours we will be going on soon. Highly recommend.

Yesterday a friend and I did the Go Tuk'n history & architecture tour of Riverside Avondale. Two other women had registered, so we were a merry group of 5 gals, including our excellent guide Toni. We saw architecturally significant homes and parks throughout the Riverside Avondale historic districts. We learned many interesting details about them and about Jax during the two-hour tour. I look forward to enjoying more tours with Go Tuk’n.
