Great tour of two neighborhoods and part of downtown. Lots of architecture details of the houses and buildings. Cute local shopping areas which we went back to for lunch. Learned a lot about Jacksonville and would highly recommend.

Seeing the different architectural styles, the 200 + year old tree, all the new development, WOW! Great to see it all in 90 minutes with Toni who was extremely knowledgeable.. Recommend this to anyone who likes history, architect and anyone who wants to see how this city blends the old and the new.

Although Jacksonville has less central downtown sightseeing this trip shows you the diverse home architecture in the many districts. We saw places designed to look like Hampton court of Henry the eighth and much more. Great guide Toni full of passion for her town.

Thank you so much for taking this tour with us. For more on the Downtown of Jacksonville, you can take the Downtown City Tour (Viator/Trip Advisor calls it the Half Day City Tour). But so glad you were able to see the amazing historic communities of Riverside and Avondale and all their unique residential architecture, the park systems and much more.
We hope to see you again. And thank you for the support of our family created tour company. It is greatly appreciated!

A MUST FOR YOUR TRIP TO JACKSONVILLE. TONI is engaging, extremely knowledgeable and fun. It was less like being on a tour and more like having a friend show you around. Definitely memorable.

Toni, our guide, has a delightful personality and is very knowledgeable concerning the different types of architecture in the Riverside/Avondale area of Jacksonville. We enjoyed our ride in the tuk-tuk through the neighborhoods highlighting the architecture of each era. We would have enjoyed a more in depth historical perspective.
Response from Host, Feb 2022
We are so glad you took the Jacksonville Residential Architecture & History tour with us recently. The amazing history of the area is never going to be as extensive as the architecture so the good news is you were provided all the details for the two historic communities.
If you are looking for more history and architecture, you should consider taking our Jacksonville Downtown City tour which focuses on the business architecture of downtown as well as the overarching history of the city plus you get to learn about all the new development occurring Downtown Jacksonville.
Thank you again for choosing Go Tuk'n as your tour provider. We appreciate the support of our family business!

Loved seeing all the parks - was unaware that Jacksonville had so many. Our tour guide (Tony) was very knowledgeable of all the architecture.
Mary_S, Apr 2021
What a fantastic tour! Toni was great and so knowledgeable about the area. We learned about the different architectural styles of homes that are in the area and it was so wonderful to be immersed in the neighborhoods, without actually disturbing the residents. The tour was so much more than I anticipated. I highly recommend the company and I’m looking forward to another one of their tours, when we are back in the area. Toni was one of our favorite tour guides, ever and she is also very considerate. A real gem!
