What a fantastic way to learn about Fernandinho beach and Amelia island. Mary was an excellent tour guide and very knowledgeable. Don’t miss this opportunity for a great history lesson.
Very enjoyable. You get to relax and learn about the island. You’ll get to take in the sight, learn about island landmarks. Trolly windows are open so you see clearly. As a result of the open windows it ca get very windy when driving
Took a 10 am tour, driver and guide were very knowledgeable, fun and interactive.
This trolley ride was fabulous! Lots of information. Easy ride. Great hosts! I got off the trolley and wanted to do it again! Nancy
Awesome experience!!! Was able to learn more about the history of Amelia island! Such a great tour guide - Mary. She’s very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
This is a must do trolley tour! The trolly tour with hostess Mary was awesome. She is very knowledgeable and makes the Tour exciting . You definitely want to add this to your things to do in Amelia Island.
The trolley tour was really fun and educational. The guide was well-versed in Fernandina Beach history and knew when to throw in a joke or two. The length of the tour was appropriate and I didn’t expect to see the “other side” of the island just past the fort so that was an added bonus. The tour guide gave us some good regional tips regarding other things to do and where to eat on the island.
Best city tour I have been on in a long time. Mary was WONDERFUL. She was knowledgeable and entertaining. And we could understand everything/ great audio system.
We had an excellent tour with Mary and Amy this morning. It was so much fun and we learned a lot that we didn’t know about Amelia Island. Loved getting to see all the old houses and learning their history. Mary was so knowledgeable and Amy was a fantastic driver! Highly recommend this tour for everyone!
Very interesting and entertaining. well worth it.
Great tour, well worth the money!!
Hats off for tour guide Mary👏
Great tour, worth the price. The guide kept it interesting and we enjoyed the history lessons. A fun place to visit!
Great stories! Mary and Amy gave a great tour.
This was the best trolley tour we have ever taken! Mary was so knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. We were very fortunate to have great weather so having an open trolley was a plus. Amy was a great driver too!
Don't miss this! Mary was our knowledge, fun, history filled guide and she was fantastic. Great stories, fascinating facts and a great time.
This is the best tour of Fernandina Beach you can possibly take. The guides are outstanding and the drivers are courteous, polite and personable. The team makes this tour fun and educational. I highly recommend it.
Bonnie and Mary were great ambassadors for company. The knowledge Mary has regarding Amelia Island is amazing. You can tell they both enjoy their job. A must do trip while on the island.
Trolly was on time. Great narrated tour. The crew was very accommodating and the 90 minute ride enabled us to decide other places we wanted to explore
It was a five star experience! Daniel was an outstanding tour guide and gave us world and local history of every building and told wonderful stories about the island! If you are new to the island, I would highly recommend taking this tour!
I was on Amelia Island for a work trip and decided to stay an extra day. I’m so glad I did. The little town is like a hallmark movie. The trolley tour was very informative, friendly, and comfortable.
This was the most enjoyable, informative part of our vacation. The guide was personable and well-versed in the history and culture of Fernandina Beach and Amelia Island.
Trolley driver is highly safety aware, and Mary was our guide - knowledgeable and engaging - also at the ready with ice cold bottled water! This is a great way to learn both the ancient (8 flags) as well as more recent 175-year history of Amelia Island. Who knew they've had paper mills this long and guess who a prime customer is for their product? Beautiful residential and church architecture on display as well.
Awesome guide. Made it entertaining and fun - very knowledgeable.
Very informative with fun tips and trivia about Amelia Island and surrounding area. Very relaxing and fun for all.
An open air trolley during a thunderstorm doesn’t sound like a great idea, but I’m so GLAD I did it! Mary and Mark were amazing. They made sure we were all comfortable and shut the flaps on half the trolley so that we could take good photos and have views out the other side. Mark went out of his way driving that big rig to change the route so all the points of interest were on the open side. Mary followed along with the route changes, providing interesting insights and stories regarding the history of Fernandina and Amelia Island. I was traveling alone and they were both so kind, informative, and genuinely interesting to talk to. I will recommend to anyone visiting Fernandina to take one of their tours. Good people, fun, and interesting!
Bonnie and Laine were great! Laine was very informative and had a great personality - made the tour a great experience.
Guide was excellent. She was very knowledgeable and pleasant.
Daniel was a great guide - fantastic information and great presentation. Length of tour was perfect..
The tour guide was very informative and answered all our questions. Both driver and tour guide were very courteous. We really enjoyed the tour.
