You may remember my review a couple weeks ago of our amazing experience with JaxTours.com on the…read moreBites and Sights Jacksonville history and food tour and somehow they topped it with their Valentine's Tour! Tonight was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. The food was incredible (as expected!), but what really set this experience apart was how completely effortless it was for us. We didn't have to plan a single thing. No reservations to juggle, no coordinating stops, no stressing over details. We just showed up and enjoyed each other. Every couple received thoughtful gifts, and one of the sweetest touches was getting to write our partners a card, which they had waiting for us at just the right moment. It added such a meaningful, personal element to the evening. There were also so many fun games woven throughout the tour, plus great prizes that made everything feel interactive and exciting without ever being cheesy. It struck the perfect balance of romantic, fun, relaxed, and memorable. You could truly focus on your partner while JaxTours handled the magic behind the scenes. If you're looking for something low effort on your part that will absolutely knock both your and your partner's socks off, snag the last spots for tomorrow if you can! It's totally worth it! This is 100% going to become a yearly tradition for us.

I went on the ships and sips tour on Saturday. They needed a minimum amount of people for the tour…read moreto go, and they immediately informed me when they had enough people so I could book as well. It was about 65 dollars for the tour, which included a drink at every stop. I arrived early at the at first stop, and we waited in the bus while others arrived. Even though it was a bit cold and raining, we all agreed to do the first drink on the ship. We climbed into the USS orleck, and was given a quick tour of the ship. We then did trivia for the drinks, which was shots of vodka and bourbon. It was really good. The next stop was at a beer brewery, and we had a ticket for one drink. I tried one of their beers, and it was quite smooth and refreshing. We stopped at another beer restaurant, and did a game where we had to text the guide a quote the quickest possible. The final stop was at a rooftop, which we had to go through handheld metal detector, and upstairs. It was worth it as the drink was strong and excellent. I had so much to drink, that I did excuse myself a bit early so I could Uber back to my hotel safely. The guides (Dan and Bill I believe) were excellent. While there was some story telling about the ship in the first stop, I wish there were more about the brewery and restaurants as well. However, the games were pretty fun to play and one lucky guest was crowned the Duke of the tour and got some prizes. Tina, our driver, drove us safely to each stop. The bus was comfortable. It was definitely a fun tour, but best to pace yourself with the drinks, especially if you are driving back home. Taking an Uber/Lyft is a smarter idea. I am glad I tried this tour out as it was fun and there were ample amount of drinks. It was worth the 65 dollars. I will definitely try their food tour next time I visit Jacksonville. Overall: A

The tour consists of approximately a 1-mile walk through the streets and historical buildings of…read moreJacksonville with a short stop at the Jacksonville tourist office. On the walk you learn some history about the areas visited and/or even something new. I have personally been on the tour few times and they are the same, but different. The tour used to start at The Landing, but since that has been torn down, the tours now start at Hemming Park. Both tours included a walk through the tunnels under the city, through historical buildings, a view of a silent movie filmed in Jacksonville, the Jackson monument, history talk and a tour of the secret bank vault. However, where the differences are is on one tour we visited the Florida Theater and the 42nd floor of the Bank of America building.......it had amazing killer views of the city! On the other tour we visited the library and to my surprise there is a lot of history in there that you wouldn't know if you didn't take the tour. We also toured Hemming Park and the general area (yes, there is history there). Depending on what is going on in the city and/or buildings, your tour may be different than when we went. The tours are informative and well worth it. Notes: There is not a designated area for parking, however, you can park at the library, use street parking or any other public parking area. There are restrooms located inside the Library and later at the tourist office as well.

This day was an incredible experience and we are already talking about going on another tour with Yollie sometime soon. The tour vehicle was comfortable and the sound system helped us to hear the entire tour. Yollie took us through multiple neighborhoods and we stopped at many sites along the way. We appreciated Yollie's storytelling and the immense wealth of information she has about the city. During the tour we did have some questions about the city since we are newer to the area and Yollie was so incredible giving additional information to us. This was a day we will never forget and I'm so appreciative to Yollie for her time and the information. I highly recommend Explore Jax Core.
