Thankfully architects from around the world heard about our plight and came to help us design our buildings.

A fun addition is being able to ride in our luxury tuk tuk over our historic Main Street bridge. History, Business Architectural Achievements, Memorials and more.

The Certified Public Art Tour is the first of its kind collaboration with the renowned ArtRepublic Global. Go Tuk’n is proud to be the certified provider of this in-depth experience of our public art throughout the urban core of Jacksonville, Florida. Jessica Santiago, CEO of ArtRepublic, has stated “this tour makes us and the artists themselves proud to have Go Tuk’n bring this tour to our city. This will allow locals and visitors alike to see the works of art we have so passionately contributed to our city. The word “tour” doesn’t do this experience justice.” You will not only see the art itself but you will learn about the artists and the inspiration behind each and every piece. By continuously collaborating with ArtRepublic Global, Go Tuk’n will maintain our ongoing knowledge of new pieces of artwork, the accuracy of the information is straight from the artists themselves and allows us to give back to our artists community.

The historic appeal of Amelia Island is unlike none other. While she may be tucked away and a little smaller than other historical towns she is every bit worth the visit. You will not leave here feeling dissatisfied. The pubs of Amelia bring out the charm of the characters that have lived here since 1562 and before. As we visit pubs we will also visit haunted houses in hopes of seeing the ghost of the past.

Meet an historic figure (guide) tied to Jacksonville's past on this entertaining tour. Interact with fellow guests trying to determine which of the 13 stories is a lie. Win a prize at the end. Each week has a different theme such as City Founders, First Hollywood, Great Fire, The Winter City, City Haunts, Architecture, Military, Land & Sea and Arts & Culture.
