Overview

In Fernandina there is so many beautiful houses that are overlooked because people do not know the stories that go along with the homes. On our tour we will talk about a handful of the people that lived in these homes that will help to paint a story that goes along with these homes. Also, we discuss why pirates were so attracted to our island during the piracy golden age. There is so much history to discuss you will feel lie you are traveling through time as you walk our historical streets as you listen to your tour guide.
We look forward to seeing you in Fernandina exploring our ancient streets.

What to expect

Itinerary

In Fernandina the history can be a little unlike any other history in America. We pride ourselves in having eight separate flags that flew over our island in a short period of 300 years. Many king of the mountain types came here in hopes of conquering our island. The question is why would so many different people groups choose Fernandina over other parts of North America? In our tour we will discuss all of these mysteries along with exploring the streets and homes that were built just prior to and after the Civil War.

Our guide was nice. But he was unvaccinated and unmasked and shaking hands. I could not get him to keep his distance. He should disclose his status before shaking hands.
