Experience The River City’s Historical Urban Core

About

The River City Tour is a 2 hour walking tour of beautiful downtown Jacksonville, Florida! Your tour will start in the center of the city at James Weldon Johnson Park where we will discuss the history of the park and The Great Fire of 1901!

During the tour, we will also visit famous buildings and landmarks where we will eat lunch, explore a local book mine, and be a kid again in a candy store!

Our visit to Chamblin’s Book Mine cafe and bookstore will consist of a lunch break and meandering through their mountains of good reads! The last stop on the River City tour will be a very sweet one! We will tour Sweet Pete’s Candy Shop and make our own sweet treat!

The River City Tour will open your mind and eyes to the hidden treasures within the city’s inner core!

**If this is an afternoon tour, I can’t guarantee a guided tour by a candy shop employee! We can definitely have dinner at the candy shop restaurant, if you would like, but guest is responsible for payment of dinner.
