This tour was such a unique and fun way to see this historic town! Rob was great. Friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and very accommodating. I am not much of a runner and he had no problems going at my pace, taking breaks to walk when when needed, and making me feel comfortable. If you are looking for something new to do... More

For anyone interested in sightjogging or guided sightseeing, contact Rob Hicks of Peg Leg. Arrangements via email were simple and convenient. We met at the appointed hour and enjoyed an easy 3+ mile jog together through the streets, side roads and neighborhoods of this quaint northeast Florida outpost. Rob knows the architecture, personalities, history and juicy details of this town... More

Rob did an awesome job creating this 3+ mile running tour! We learned a lot, saw some great sights in historic downtown and got a workout in - what more could we ask for? We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to learn more about the Island and be active while doing so! :-)

Live on the island and thought this would be fun. Rob did a great job telling me things I didn't have any idea about the island and the history. I am not a big runner so he went with my pace. When my brother visits, he is going to do this tour. Great time and lots of fun. Try it-you... More

My wife and I took our first trip to Amelia Island this weekend and thought this would be a great and informative way to explore and learn about the history of the area with a local guide. We certainly were not disappointed. We had a great time on the run! No need to be an accomplished runner either. I know... More
