Riverside Avondale Preservation
Garden Tour

Go Tuk’n is purchasing the Garden Tickets from RAP: no need to purchase yourself as the price includes the cost of the entrance. This also includes the gratuity for your tour guides as well. Just like our annual Luminaria or Home Tours, we expect for these tours to sell out quickly. Be sure to grab your seat ASAP. If you are wanting to reserve a private tuk tuk, please purchase 5 tickets and will know this is a private tour booking. *NOTE: children under 3 years of age are free but must ride on a paying adults lap at all times.

Two Neighborhoods, One Unforgettable Experience

Riverside – Funky, artsy, and full of character. Think bold street murals, rock ‘n’ roll history (Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers), and a creative spirit that flows through the neighborhood’s vibrant gardens.

Avondale – Timeless and refined. Once a retreat for Jacksonville’s elite, this neighborhood boasts grand mansions, historic estates, and lush, manicured landscapes that were once the backdrop for country getaways and hunting retreats. It’s home to the legendary Maxwell House Coffee Castle whose slogan was: “Good to the last drop.”

What Makes This GARDEN Tour Special?

  •  A Garden Lover’s Dream: From native plant sanctuaries to intricately designed courtyards, you’ll discover a range of stunning landscapes that define the neighborhoods’ distinct styles.
  • Live Art & Music: Enjoy the work of local artists painting in real-time or musicians adding a magical soundtrack to your tour. Note: each year it is something new!
  • Sip & Ride: Upgrade your experience by pre-ordering wine or prosecco to enjoy as you take in the scenery.
  • Stress-Free Exploration: No need to worry about parking or navigating the best route on the Garden Tour – we handle all the details, so you can simply relax and enjoy.

Your ticket price includes admission to all participating gardens—no need to purchase separate RAP Garden Tour tickets.
