And I wasn't wrong! The tour lasted about 90 minutes (and it leaves promptly FYI) and takes you along the shoreline of Amelia Island - past the shrimping boats and past a Civil War era fort - before heading towards Cumberland Island National Seashore. This is where the true fun of the tour was for me. I had no idea really the history of the island and found it fascinating how the Carnegies and Rockefellers and more of the country's elite used this random Georgia seashore as their private escape. The history of both Cumberland and Amelia Islands is incredibly fascinating and the guides for both the Florida and Georgia sides respectively were well informed and personable. Plus - you'll very likely see a ton of great wildlife throughout including dolphins and wild horses and pigs. It's a great way to spend an afternoon in the area and a fabulous introduction to Cumberland Island National Seashore/Park.

I'll start out by saying that this is 4 stars because of the staff, not the ship. We had a…read morefantastic cruise to Bahamas recently. We splurged on a balcony and were upgraded to an extended balcony. The room was bigger and we very much enjoyed the extra room and really took advantage of it. I didn't take pics but the bathroom was huge compared to a regular room. There was a seating area with a couch that we used for suitcases and dressing area. There was a small table with two comfortable arm chairs, a firm yet cozy, queen sized bed and more closets and storage than we needed. The cozy warm pajamas we brought were great so we never needed the fluffy robes provided with the room. The staff really were the stand outs. Virtually anything we asked for we were given. There are so many fantastic opportunities on board for fun, it's difficult to do them all. We most enjoyed the singing duo Thalia and Mike while sitting in the atrium bar. Check them out on the web. We enjoyed all the meals with the stand out being the Chef's Table experience. Really was expertly organized, with the meal so fantastic, it surpasses my ability to put into words. The chef and his staff were absolutely stellar. There were hits and slight misses for us, but overall, a meal to remember. The pork belly may have been my favorite course. The entire experience far surpassed the extra cost. Looking back, I've spent much more for far less. Just seeing all the chefs and staff needed to orchestrate one very special night for their guests and their sincere willingness to knock your socks off will be something I'll never forget. The room service breakfast sandwich was also memorable. I've never ever. EVER. had so much bacon on a sandwich. The egg was herby, fluffy and flavorful. Enough sandwich for two! The Szechuan shrimp from the main dining room was probably our favorite dish / meal outside of the chef's table experience. I had ordered the lamb bolognese, which was a standout on its own, but that shrimp! Really for a meal prepared for so many people at once, never did I think my plate was ordinary. . Our steward was absolutely fantastic and went far above and beyond making this trip extraordinary. Elation is not without her downfalls. She has ONE small pool and it's very sad. She's rusty and WAY overdue for drydock but for the value it hits the mark and the staff made it a VERY memorable trip.

While we are familiar with the city, it was really interesting to have the context of history to frame our knowledge. We arrived 15 minutes before our tour, and our guide Toni was waiting for us. The tuktuk was ready with a cooler filled with champagne, sangria and water (that we ordered as add-ons to our tour). She gave us a set of headphones and a speaker we could wear around our necks, so we could hear her narration clearly over the traffic. Our two hour tour was chock full of sights and sites! Toni was fun, knowledgeable and engaging. We had plenty of opportunities to comments, ask questions, and even get out of the vehicle to take photos or admire certain locations. We cannot WAIT to take another tour (or three!) Highly recommend - this is a fun date for couples, families, or friends!

This company uses commission-based software for their bookings called Fare Harbor. Fare Harbor…read morecharges the customer a 6% fee for online bookings. This fee can be WAIVED if the booking is made over the phone or in person. No one at this company facilitates bookings over the phone, forcing the consumer to utilize this predatory booking software that makes all of their money through fees charged to the customer. This company doesn't pay a dime to use Fare Harbor. The booking software is free to them, and the customer pays for it through the fees. Many other alternatives do not make money this way: Bookeo, Resova, Checkfront, etc. This company doesn't have to use predatory software like fare harbor. They could pay for their software instead of forcing customers to pay for it. I have used this taxi service before for a sunset cruise. The staff is very friendly, and the boat ride is lovely. I wish they would change to a different software OR take reservations over the phone so customers wouldn't be forced to pay for their office supplies

You are guaranteed a fun filled day, cycling around the city seeing sights and learning a little history about the area in which we are in. First of all let me say, I live in the Jacksonville area for 18 years and didn't even know that there was such a bike company to give bike tours. So when a friend found this on GROUPON...I was elated!!!! So we bought out discount tickets, made reservations, and hopped on a bike for a ride! Tour was scheduled for 10-1 in San Marco, a 3 hour tour that bikes around 11 miles in and out and around the San Marco area, with stops throughout the tour for a little history lesson, if you will. Leigh supplied all the bikers with ice cold water and had refills when needed, and also provided snacks at the half way point along a pond. Nice touch! My only complaint??? Our tour was scheduled for 10 and YES this little note is on the website: "Please arrive at the time of your tour. If we're not there when you arrive, we're on our way!", which is nice, BUT...when she did arrive, it took 45 minutes to unload the bikes, pump up tires, give instructions, pass out water, try the bikes for size, then ride.... Please let me say that in NO WAY was the tour shortened, she did the entire tour, but what would have happened if anyone of the bikers had other plans or was running late themselves? Anyhow, the group of girls had a blast, and we are already talking about another tour! The good thing is, e2ride has many more areas of Jacksonville to bike around (San Marco 3hrs 11 miles, Riverside/Avondale 3hrs 10 miles, Mandarin 3hrs 12 miles, Springfield 3hrs 5.5 miles, and Art around town 3hrs) , and I can't wait to bike them all! Thanks for a great day Leigh and e2ride bike tours!
