I had such a great experience on this tour, and the attention to detail was so well thought-out and planned with intention. Everything from having each stop fit into a historical timeline and learning about additional places in-between, to mapping the course so that we were always in the shade (a must when heat is a daily factor). There was a variety of foods and drinks to be enjoyed by all ages, and each establishment served their most popular and authentic cuisines. I learned A LOT as a Jacksonville resident, so this tour is ideal for visitors and locals alike.
Our guide was knowledgeable, professional, yet laid-back and passionate about the origins of this city and everything that it has to offer. Not to mention that the short commute between each place that we visited made for a great way to meet new friends. Overall, the value of what this tour entails far exceeds what you would otherwise spend for entertainment and a meal. This is an ideal date night, solo trip, or family outing that you will absolutely want to save your appetite for! Seriously, come hungry because everyone in our group had their fill and felt satisfied. I can't wait to go again and take my friends. Trust me when I say that this experience is a must!

A great experience. The food at each location was great, guide was knowledgeable and very friendly. The views at the end of the tour were amazing! Go hungry and leave full, educated, and entertained.

Had an incredible time on the tour! The tour guide's knowledge of the local area was great, and I learned some things that I didn't know, and I've lived here for 20 years. We were taken to some amazing food spots I wouldn't have known about otherwise. Plus, the views were simply stunning! Already looking forward to going back to those restaurants with my family! My only "complaint" is that I'm now itching to experience even more tours!

This was a lovely tour that showed us some great new places we hadn't seen before in downtown Jacksonville. There was lots of good food, fun people, and we learned a lot of historical facts about the town I never knew after living here for years.

We are senior citizens and I must say the walk was so easy.. so many stops for yummy food and historical information.. I’ve lived in Jacksonville all my life and I still learned new things. Jacksonville is so cool.. you just need to slow down and take walk.. Jax Tours is the way to go..
