Loved our walking tour and guide, Savannah. We learnt so much and got to see a lot of hidden parts of Savannah and hear about its history. Was great to hear about the Irish connection. We were also allowed to bring our dog who thoroughly enjoyed the tour and attention also. I loved the way Savannah pointed out areas or attractions we could visit post tour.

A wonderful tour with a very knowledgeable guide, who gave us such a great insight to the foundations, the history, the population and the culture of the city. Small touches such as stopping only when they were shaded for all members of the party were very much appreciated as well. A high recommend!

Excellent tour you should do early during your stay in Savannah. The guide was excellent— personable, had a wealth of knowledge about Savannah, and really connected with those of us taking the tour. He also offered many suggestions of places to eat and visit that helped us days after taking the tour. A highlight of my 5 day stay in Savannah.

Awesome tour even in the rain.
