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.

Tony, our guide, gave a great tour of the history & architecture of Jacksonville. It was fun riding around the city in the electric golf cart Tony skillfully handled. I would highly recommend this tour for a good overview of Jacksonville.
Highly recommend
