Our best tour of the city bar none. Our guide had every answer to every question and then could tell us much more than your typical tour. Nothing here could be read from a book. The heart and history behind what makes this city so special.
Thank you so much!
Marcia was full of information! Lots of history details and she didn't sugarcoat any of it. Also helpful tips for eating and shopping.
Thank you!
Super relaxing and enjoyable! We had an amazing experience on this Savannah history tour! Marcia was incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining.
Thank you so much!
Marcia was absolutely amazing! She made the tour fun and full of facts without just pointing at the building and spouting something off and moving on. You could tell she loved her job and knew her stuff. Would absolutely recommend this to history buffs and novices alike.
Thank you so much!
Susannah was our wonderful guide. She was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She brought the history of Savannah alive. Thank you
Thank you so much!
It was a basic tour with just enough details given by a nice young woman with a bit too much actress. I got the gist of old Savannah.
Thank you for the review.
Our guide was Susanah and she was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. All of our question were answered thoroughly and enthusiastically. The pace was perfect and despite the historic cobblestone streets, the paths were easy to navigate. The tour was a really great starting point to learn a much more detailed history of the city - an interest to learn more was definitely sparked by this tour. Highly recommend!!!
Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!
Marcia was an excellent guide. She was so knowledgeable and so excited about the knowledge she was imparting. I learned some interesting facts about the Gordon family and others in town. I would do it all over again.
Thank you so much!
Marcia was very knowledgable. We discovered a lot about Savannah’s history that we had never heard before. Marcia has some very entertaining historical stories and has an infectious love of all things Savannah especially James Oglethorpe.
Thank you so much!
