Excellent tour, informative and fun - We had a wonderful tour with Toni, who very kindly picked us up from our hotel and dropped us back there at the end. It was a fun and informative tour and we thoroughly enjoyed it. There are various tours to be taken and I suspect that the art tour is also a really good one to do. It is clear that Jacksonville downtown is going to be fabulous when all the construction is completed!

Fantastic Office Social Outing - My office organized our tour as part of our Company's 180th Anniversary, and we love that Go Tuk'n incorporated a stop at the downtown building where our Company first opened an office more than 100 years ago! We also appreciated that we could bring our own little coolers and snacks for the afternoon tour, and the pit stop at Sweet Pete's was perfectly timed. Katie and Toni were fantastic guides, and all of our attendees have been saying they want to do another tour again soon!

duuuuuuuuuuuuvaaaaaaal!!!! - My friends and I completed a fantastic, guided tour in the downtown area of Jacksonville last week with the Go Tuk'n company. I can genuinely say it was amazing! Toni, our cute tour guide, set a wonderful tone for the trip. From the moment we started, I felt warmly welcomed. The scenery was exquisite, and Toni's knowledge of the area truly enhanced our experience—she shared fascinating insights about the history of the city, buildings, monuments and statues, and you could tell she genuinely cared about the culture of her surroundings. She even helped, not one, not two, but three people during our tour who were looking for an event (circus was in town) or helping an UberEats driver find their way to the right door. What a remarkable ambassador!! There were 3 of us and the 4-seater TukTuk made the experience more intimate, allowing for better interaction. Toni made every effort to ensure we saw all the sights, even accommodating our interest in group photos and selfies. I wholeheartedly recommend Go Tuk'n downtown experience if you want to get to know the history of this wonderful city a bit better, and, of course, Toni as an incredible guide. Thank you, Toni, for such a memorable day! This tour is a must-do for any traveler, young and old, seeking an authentic city experience!
