Overview

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.

So we wound up staying in Jacksonville by accident. We took advantage of it and went on this tour. We seen some amazing sites and took lots of pictures. Our tour guide (Toni) was outstanding.

We had a wonderful tour. Our guide was a knowledgeable woman who cared very deeply about Jacksonville’s downtown, the architecture, its history and its people. We learned about all the changes that are proposed and happening to the riverfront. Riding in the TukTuk, similar to golf cart, gave us a closeup view to the buildings. Gives you insight and appreciation for what cities can do to help their downtown thrive again. 👏👏
