Timothy was a great guide! We learned a lot about the history of Amelia Island and at the same time the tour was very entertaining. We had a great time and highly recommend the tour!
We lovef having your company with us. Thank you for joining us on our tour.
What an excellent way to gain insight into the fascinating history of Amelia Island. When visiting a new place we always try to start with a local guide to gain the real insights, and this experience was wonderful. Our guide Tim was extremely knowledgeable and made the walking tour so very enjoyable - and he even arrived in costume! We would highly recommend this as part of your Amelia Island visit Thank you
Thank you for coming on my tour, I'm glad you you had an amazing experience with us ;))

Tim was awesome! Very knowledgeable. Fun tour! Highly Reccomend!
Thank you. That has got to be one of the kindest reviews we've ever recieved. Thanks.
The tour was great. Frustrating that the booking would not let us book 4 seniors but had to do 2 adults/2swniors
Thank you for bringing this to our attention so that we can work on correcting the issue. We are really glad that you enjoyed your time on our tour. Please come back and visit our other tour that we offer as well.
Tim gave us a great peek into the history of Amelia, its many occupiers and the historical markers downtown. We enjoyed it and Tim went way past the amount of time stated in order to give us a comprehensive experience!
Thank you for coming on our tour and taking the time to leave a review. I'm really glad we were able to make your trip that much more memorable.
Very informative. Extremely knowledgeable. Was obvious Timothy is a true historian and loves studying the history of Amelia Island. Last part of tour focused on the historical homes in Fernadina. Really enjoyed that and would have liked more of that.
Thank you for leaving a review. I'm glad we were able to help your visit be more memorable.
The history of Amelia Island is dense, complicated, and shocking. I highly recommend the tour to anybody who is interested in the history of this place. Our tour guide Tim was extremely knowledgeable. He took time to go into any amount of detail in answers to my questions on any particular piece of the history. Add to that he is a nice friendly guy, and that Ferdinanda Beach is a really nice place to stroll around anyhow, and you have a 5 star tour. early able to explain any bit of it in detail
Thank you for coming on our tour. It was nice meeting you guys. I hope we made your visit pleasant. Please come back :)
My husband and I lucked out when a large group who were supposed to be on our tour cancelled so we had Timothy as a private tour guide! He was a terrific guide. He was very knowledgeable about Amelia Island and provided all sorts of interesting side facts and took us all around the historical district. I would highly recommend this tour to learn more about the area and its interesting history. I’d also recommend requesting Timothy if you can! A must do if you are in the area!
Glad that you two enjoyed your tour, thank you for visiting.
Tim was a very knowledgeable tour guide He msde the tour very interesting and was very receptive to question I would highly recommend this tour
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm glad you enjoyed your time with us.
