Incredible way to see the town. Our guide, Toni , was EXCEPTIONAL!!! Toni made the tour interesting with fun facts only locals would know and just by being her. Toni is the reason we would book another tour.
Thank you so much for joining us on our San Marco Architecture & History Tour! We’re thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your time with Toni — she truly is exceptional, and we’re lucky to have her on our team. You’re absolutely right: so many fun facts and important pieces of Jacksonville’s history aren’t widely known, which makes it even more meaningful for us to share them with both visitors and locals. With more than 17 tours to choose from, we’d love to welcome you back anytime. Thank you again for the wonderful review — we can’t wait to see you on your next adventure!
Toni, the guide instructor, was amazing. The tour gave insight to Jackonville's history. It was AWESOME to see. Great.
Thank you for taking our San Marco tour. This unique community within the Urban Core areas of Jacksonville has such great business and residential history/architecture. It is such an awesome area to experience. We hope to see you again on one of our other 17+ tours we offer. But we are so thankful you spent this time with us! Steph Dale Founder/Chief Tuk'n Officer
