We were supposed to have Bill, but we got his colleague. Sadly, I didn’t make careful note of his name. And for the record, I am not Sally!😳😂 The tour was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and very personable. When we return to Savannah, we are hoping to catch him again focusing on a different part of Savannah. We highly recommend him… We just can’t recall his name!

We had a wonderful tour of the Savannah Historic District with the Wandering Historians! Ken Rimes was our very knowledgeable and entertaining guide…he made the history “lesson” fun and engaging. We learned a lot about the actual history of Savannah and had plenty of opportunities to ask questions as we went along. I would highly recommend this tour to visitors and natives alike who just want to brush up on their beautiful city!

Paschal was very...

Paschal was very passionate about his city and very proud, he was personable and it was a unique experience having learned from someone who has such in depth study and knowledge of the area. We love history tours and this one was by far top of the list for us. We are fellow Georgians and we learned so much new information about our foundation and the things that happened here in beautiful Savannah. We look forward to coming back to see Paschal at his cemetery tour.
