We did the Eight Flags Tour and the Golden Age Tour back to back and loved them both. We had already visited St. Augustine, Fort Clinch, and the Amelia Island Museum and had taken the Craig Cats to Cumberland Island so we already had good island overview. Eight Flags is NOT an island overview but rather an in depth tour of the events and people that made up the history behind the 8 flags that have flown over this area. The Golden Age or Guilded Age was an amazing tour if you have an interest in the homes & architecture from this era ….of the Vanderbilts’, Carnegies’, etc …similar to Newport, RI.
We thought we knew a lot but Daniel taught us amazing amount of history and helped really link many historical events for us. We had adult beverages for both tours as well as water which always makes the experience more relaxed. It was a private tour with my wife and I. We think that some people may have been leaving Amelia because of the approaching Hurricane.
I never looked at my watch during either tour as we were both captivated during the entire duration of both tours. It was a Wonderful afternoon that we spent with Daniel. We highly recommend both tours. If you want an Island Overview Tour, then go to AIHT’s Custom tour section.

Thank you both for your time and energy and for taking both tours back to back. A great day for me as your guide to look back and remember. So much history from our 8 Flags and historical homes from the Gilded Age. The time did fly by and our adult beverage special by direct booking only certainly gave us a more relaxing environment! What a better way to enjoy history and architecture with a few adult treats. If you don’t spoil yourself who can?
A big thank you for the 5 Stars and taking out your time on your vacation to spend it with us. It really was a pleasure and welcome back on every occasion your nearby!
