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.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm glad you enjoyed your time with us.
Our tour guide was quite knowledgeable about Fernandina history. We walked around and he pointed out many areas of interest and he was generous with historical facts time offering to go a bit beyond the scheduled tour if we had the time. Fernandina is charming but has a complicated multinational history. We were a group of 5 and enjoyed this tour!
I'm glad you had a good experience on our tour. Thank you for the kind review.
Great tour and history lesson! Tim did a wonderful job detailing the area's long history under 8 different flags. He was witty, engaging and friendly. Answered all our questions. He is very knowledgable. Super way to learn this area! Highly recommend!
