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.

Toni, our guide, has a delightful personality and is very knowledgeable concerning the different types of architecture in the Riverside/Avondale area of Jacksonville. We enjoyed our ride in the tuk-tuk through the neighborhoods highlighting the architecture of each era. We would have enjoyed a more in depth historical perspective.

We are so glad you took the Jacksonville Residential Architecture & History tour with us recently. The amazing history of the area is never going to be as extensive as the architecture so the good news is you were provided all the details for the two historic communities. If you are looking for more history and architecture, you should consider taking our Jacksonville Downtown City tour which focuses on the business architecture of downtown as well as the overarching history of the city plus you get to learn about all the new development occurring Downtown Jacksonville. Thank you again for choosing Go Tuk'n as your tour provider. We appreciate the support of our family business! Steph Dale Chief Tuk'n Officer

Our guide, Toni, was knowledgeable, personable, and a great driver. The tour route included many interesting buildings and homes, particularly in the 1900-1920's era. Hearing the personal stories/history about the attractions was fascinating and really gave us a sense of the neighborhoods and of Jacksonville itself. Another real plus in these covid days was the small size of our tuk-tuk, which at max would hold only 6 guests. There was only one person on ours besides us two. The vehicle had plastic side flaps that can be pulled back or left down, and I felt the air flow was adequate for covid concerns since we were masked. A fun 2 hours - thanks!
