Pleasant Tour

Teri_B, Apr 2024

Toni was an incredible tour guide. We learned so much about Jacksonville. The architecture was so beautiful. Very happy we took this tour. Worth every penny. Toni was such a pleasant human being to everyone, including the individuals that keep the city clean. Toni gets a 10 from us.

Great

Deanna_H, Apr 2024

Don’t Miss Architectural and Historical Downtown

Joan_S, Apr 2024

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. 👏👏

Unknown Sides of Jacksonville

Geraldine_S, Apr 2023

Loved seeing all the architectural buildings that I never realized were in Jacksonville. I’ve lived here for 24 years and so glad my eyes were opened to that part of the city by a very capable tour guide, Russell!!

Learned a lot about "downtown" Jacksonville.

tgrinders, Mar 2023

It was an enjoyable and informative afternoon learning about "downtown" Jacksonville , its history, architecture, and potential future. Being a new resident to Jacksonvillle. It was a great way to learn what's downtown and what entertainment spots to enjoy. Most of our time to date has been along the south bank of the St. Johns River. It was great to get to know what's on the north bank. Tour guide was very informative and fun to be with while traveling around on a cold breezy day. Worth the time.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Thank you so much for taking our Downtown City tour. We are so glad you learned so much and got to experience the Past, Present & Future details of Jax. And we truly appreciate the support of our family owned company. We hope to see you again soon on one of our many tours (over 15 tours + seasonal tours). Steph Dale Chief Tuk'n Officer

Great tour!

Carol_P, Mar 2023

Tony was very knowledgeable about Jacksonville's history. We were very impressed with the facts she shared. She was also super friendly. She was very often speaking to the locals (but not in a way that detracted from the tour). You can tell she enjoys what she does for a living. Would 100% take the tour again.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Donald_D, Apr 2022

The architect of the buildings is really nice to see and until someone points these things out you don’t realize it. It was good to hear the different stories about the city and the fire of 1904. We had a good time

Such a great way to learn and explore downtown Jacksonville! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and such a caring host! It was a bit windy so he brought out heavy blankets and cooler for refreshments as well! Definitely recommend it for a fun and interactive way to get to know the city!
