Wonderful tour of historic Savanah
Bonnie was an excellent guide and being a local, really knew all the history in historic Savanah. The tour was an easy pace for us; we got to see many of the squares, and we would recommend the tour.

Lightly sauced, Fully educated
Bonnie was fabulous. She gave us such a comprehensive history of Savannah, while connecting it with European history. She shared her knowledge in such a fun way, welcomed questions and was so incredibly nice. I highly recommend this tour. Thank you, Bonnie!

Best historical tour!
Bonnie was an incredible guide. This tour was the first one that we took when we arrived in Savannah. She was able to give us so much history and a great feel for the city in such a short period of time. She was very comfortable with her delivery and her years of experience showed the tour itself was longer than most, and she provided a break partway through at a wonderful coffee shop. We would highly recommend this tour.
