Fantastic Tour with a Knowledgeable Guide - We’ve been living in Jacksonville for a while but didn’t know much about its history and charm until we joined the “Half-Day City Tour in Downtown Jacksonville.” Thanks to our guide, Steve, the experience was fantastic! His witty humor and deep knowledge brought the city’s stories to life, especially those behind the many remarkable buildings downtown. One tip for fellow travelers: check the weather forecast beforehand and dress warmly if it’s cold. Today was around 10°C (50°F), and we would’ve been freezing if not for the cozy blankets Steve provided. Highly recommend this tour for both visitors and locals!

Book it now! - Toni was absolutely incredible. She was SO friendly. She called about an hour before the trip (we got other follows up previously from them and Viator) to triple check arrival time, my knowledge of address, and tips of where we were headed. There was 4 of us total on the tuk tuk. We put in headphones and listened to her speak about the city. She knew everything- the architecture, food spots, history, traffic, events, you name it!! She was so friendly with those around the city (people at the fallen soldiers memorial, police guarding for the Veterans Day parade, etc). She was kind, informative and truly a joy to take the trip from! My husband continues to want to go on beaches vacations but I drag him to a bus tour all the time and this was top knotch!

Great City tour in Jacksonville - The guide, Toni, was both very knowledgeable and personable. She took us to many interesting sites and we were able to get close-up views because of the maneuverability of the small vehicle. She offered to drop us off at the central bus stop to help us get back to the airport
