Eight Flags Road Tour
Beskrivning
Amelia Island är full av rik historia och är den enda platsen i Amerika som har flaggat åtta oberoende flaggor. Dess rika historia tar oss med på en resa genom tiden inklusive Timucuan-indianerna som var våra första invånare så långt tillbaka som 2000 f.Kr. Flaggorna berättar historien om religiös kamp och förföljelse, effekten av att kristendomen inte tillåter någon annan gud att dyrkas. Den förödande effekten av revolutionskriget på ön och rebeller som agerar i högre makts namn. Smugglare, slavhandlare och pirater har alla haft en del att spela i utvecklingen av denna ö-tillväxt. Denna fascinerande turné tar dig med på en resa genom tiden och visar dig hur en så liten barriärö har haft en stor och föga känd inverkan på Amerikas historia. Kom och följ med oss på en otrolig passage genom hundratals år av otroliga historiska fakta.

The island has an incredible historical past and being the only place in America to have flown Eight Independent Flags. This tour is a great way to see the Island and plan the remainder of your stay taking in the highlights from the tour. Thank you for the 5 Stars. Ver much appreciated!
Shae was very knowledgeable and made it fun learning about Amelia Island. She also gave us great places to see on our own and some restaurants.
Amelia is an incredibly beautiful and historically deep island. Thousands of years of stories of Indian, Pirates and Explorers. It's always a fun trip out back in time with our passionate guides!
Pros: The tour guide was very informative and entertaining. Great historical information. Cons: Van has very tight seating. Too much time is spent sitting at one spot. It would have been better had the guide gave the information while driving around the area. I had hoped we would see more of the Island.
Thank you for your review and sorry that we fell below your high-level expectations. We have always regarded the history and the location of the flags as in most likely places to be the best to discuss the actual history of the flags. I do really take your point about keeping on moving and taking in other locations on the island, and that is something we will look into with a view to change? We always value feedback as that is the only way (both good and bad construction) to evaluate your place from the client's viewpoint. Thank you for your invaluable comments and really hope to see you again with a few changes to more of your liking?
Great historical information provided by the tour guide. He made it fun and personable. I appreciate the great history and information provided.
The island really has the most incredible history, and we are really delighted that your guide made the experience fun and personable. Thank you for your 5 Stars as they really make all of the difference to us! Thank you again!!
Shay was so enthusiastic and engaging and knowledgeable! She shared many stories and is very passionate about the local history!
Thank you for the wonderful review, kind words and a huge 5 Stars. That alone makes such a big difference to us in flying the flag probably being the best historical tour on Amelia Island. All of our guides are truly passionate and historically well versed in the extremely complicated history of Amelia Island. It's always a pleasure to take our guests back through time and experience American history like no other location near by! Thank you again and look forward to seeing you all again soon
