Bonnie Blue provided a wonderfully in-depth and entertaining tour of Savannah. Her rich knowledge of the city's history went above and beyond our expectations! I would highly recommend this tour.
This was such a great tour and Bonnie was knowledgeable and entertaining. It was such a great way to get oriented as well as learn about the history of this great city.
Extremely knowledgeable and thorough, great presentation, fun, loved the details, attitude, and the break for coffee, pastries, and restrooms.
3 hours flew by! Great information and wonderful tour. Bonnie shared her love for her hometown and her extensive knowledge of history. I’ll be back with my family.
I truly enjoyed touring the Savannah Historic District with Bonnie. She was knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about Savannah’s history. The tour blended historical facts, local stories as well as hidden gems I wouldn’t have found on my own.
Bonnie is a local Savannan who knows the history of her city well. She was engaged, professional, and imparted interesting historical facts throughout the tour. We recommend her highly.
Bonnie was very knowledgeable about Savannah history and she made it interesting by telling lots of stories. Not once did we get bored or zone out over too much information. She also has a dry wit. She helped us with an itinerary as well for our 4 day stay, giving us info about what else to do and where to eat. Well worth every penny!
Bonnie was an excellent guide. Provided interesting historical information, was friendly and took the tour at a good pace. Overall, would highly recommend.
Bonnie was very knowledgeable and answered any questions we had
A leisurely stroll through Savannah's history by way of its shady squares. Bonny is an engaging guide who makes history come alive in the way she tells the stories of the past. There are plenty of benches to sit on along the way while enjoying her narrative.
