In 1901, the great fire of Jacksonville quickly swept through the area and destroyed our downtown. Thankfully architects from around the world heard about our plight and came to help us design our buildings. On this wonderful tour, you will also experience several memorials and the oldest living thing in our city, the great Treaty Oak. A fun addition is being able to ride in our luxury tuk tuk over our historic Main Street bridge.
History, Business Architectural Achievements, Memorials and more. Your Downtown Jacksonville City tour has it all – plus hidden gems locals don’t even know about! Explore beautiful city landscape of Downtown Jacksonville and learn about the region’s rich and varied history at the beach and along the banks of the St. John’s River.

5.00My uncle and I took a tour with Toni. She exceeded our expectations in this trip. We met her at her business. She gave us a place to wait comfortably until we left. She was friendly and welcoming. It was a chilly day and she provided blankets for us to stay warm. The tour was informative and fun and showed us a lot of downtown Jacksonville. There was only one other couple on the tour and it was special for all of us. I recommend this tour and this company. It was well worth the price! Thank you Toni.
Toni very knowledgeable about her city

4.00Although a pleasant experience with a very knowledgeable Toni we felt that there was so much information about the architecture we couldn't take it in. The memorials she took us to were amazing and thought provoking. The trip also makes you want to come back in a few years to see the transformation of the downtown area to bring back housing , retail and park areas.
Very knowledgeable tour

4.00There was plenty of parking at the start/end point plus bathroom facilities. Toni was our guide and her knowledge of architecture was second to none. It was a sunny, fine day but the wind was cutting. So my advice is if offered a blanket at the beginning of the tour, you take it just in case. The stop we had was interesting but warm drinks were called for not shakes and ice cream. I enjoyed the tour and would recommend it if you want to know how the area has developed over the past 125 years and also what the vision for the city is.
First visit to Jacksonville Florida

5.00We truly appreciate gotukn for providing a truly unforgettable experience. With family visiting, we decided to explore something new and took a tour of Jacksonville's architectural landscape with gotukn.com. Our knowledgeable tour guide, Toni, shared her expertise on the city's architecture and history, revealing hidden treasures we were unaware of. The breathtaking homes and parks were captured in numerous photographs. The three-hour tour flew by, leaving us wondering how time passed so quickly. We would certainly consider participating in gotukn's other tours, including their scavenger hunt tour. Thank you for a fantastic time!
