5.00We enjoyed the tour from beginning to end. The guide was friendly, accommodating, and very knowledgeable. His presentation was informative and humorous, and kept our attention. We learned quite a lot while enjoying ourselves. Seating in an air conditioned van on a hot day was a big plus. Definitely recommend.

5.00Daniel, our charming and loquacious leader, had more than an arm-full of historic information about Amelia Island. The early inhabitants were traced back centuries, followed by the arrival (and departures) of eight European conquistadors, legal, and illegals!! As a bonus, the history of a few pubs was included.
