What an amazing experience to learn the history of Jacksonville, which I lived my whole life. Tina and crew were very knowledgeable and taught us a lot. The food was very good as well and didn’t even know about 2 of the places we went and since the tour me and my family went back to the restaurant as well.

Downtown Jacksonville has such amazing history that I never knew until taking this jax tours walking tour. We tasted delicious food from Morton’s Steakhouse, Casa Dora Cafe, and amazing chocolate from Sweet Pete’s Candy. We went into the gorgeous library and ended with sunset over the St John’s River.

My girlfriend and I tried Jax tours in early 2024 and we both really enjoyed the great views! If you love food, drinks, and learning about information and history than this tour is perfect for you. We learned a lot about downtown Jacksonville while we were there, and even learned about unique history along the way. We did a lot of activities, walking, tasting food, and taking trips inside buildings and around the park. I would highly recommend Jaxtours, especially if you enjoy the outdoors.
