Noble Jones Architect Tour is an opportunity to walk and learn about Savannah's architecture and the architects behind the buildings. The guest limit is capped at ten people for this tour, giving our guests the opportunity to ask questions and have a more personal experience with our guides. Architecture is the material essence of the city. In just over one century, five men became the soul of the movement to match the beauty of the square design of our city. This tour discusses those architects, their backgrounds and how Savannah came to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world. This guided walking tour of the historic district includes an examination of the historic homes and buildings from 1817 through 1923. An interpretation of the architect's works and contributions to the city is discussed.

Kelse has a warm personality that made you feel you were on a walk with a friend. His information was interesting with many details and never boring. It was an extremely hot day and we were very happy when he adjusted the tour to allow us sitting time in the shade. We would strongly recommend this tour
This tour was awesome! It was very informative and focused on the architects themselves and their work rather than the technical aspects of the work which made it very easy to understand and follow along.
Our guide was very knowledgable, funny, and friendly. He did a great job putting the different kinds of architecture into context. We loved it.
AMAZING TOUR! I’m a Savanah native and learned so much! Tour guide was absolutely THE BEST! I’ve ever had. This is well worth the money and time. He could not have done a better job. THANK YOU!
We ended up being the only two in the tour at that particular time. We could not have asked for a better blessing. Our guide showed us around with such ease and knowledge. He was thorough at every stop providing us with an abundance of background and insight. He obviously did his research. He was funny, charming and a total gentleman. We got to see homes and commercial buildings built by the most notable architects and builders that helped established Savannah. I would recommend this tour highly, if you have a combined interest of history, design and architecture.
Kelce was a wealth of information and stories about the eclectic architects that came to Savannah. My engineer husband chose this tour and loved it, I wasn't exactly looking forward to it but it was fantastic!!
Our guide Kelce was very knowledgeable and entertaining He emphasized Savannah’s history , focusing on 5 architects. These architects worked from the late 1700,s through early twentieth century
Great tour with architecture as a foundation for talking about the history of Savannah enthusiastic guide
We went the Hidden Gems tour with Ashley. What a fantastic tour. I highly recommend this tour. She was so incredibly knowledgeable and a great orator!
Our guide had in depth knowledge of the buildings and architects/builders. The tour is well worth it.
