Our guide was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions. We enjoyed our time with him. My husband and I have been to Savannah before, but appreciated this deeper dive into its history and historic structures. The tour took us away from the tourists and into beautiful and quieter residential streets.

Savanna was our tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and had a genuine and sincere concern for the history of this lovely city.. We have been here several times and have taken several tours and by far she was the most knowledgeable tour guide we have ever had.
Michelle_R, Aug 2025
Kelse was a wealth of knowledge. We learned so much about the architects behind the buildings here in Savannah. It was a hot day, he supplied us with water and we stood in shade whenever possible. If you are an architect, history buff, or architecture fan you will love this tour. My son, a budding architect, and I really enjoyed the tour!

Wonderful tour of beautiful buildings along with Kels’s knowledge of architecture and Savannah history.

Fabulous guide- super interesting! Kelsey really knew his stuff and mixed in lots of history and context. The perfect amount of time to get a picture of Savannah’s architectural history.
Dawn_S, Feb 2025
We ended up with a personal tour with Kelse. He knows his history and architects. He was very open to questions. It was a 2-hour tour, but it felt much longer due to the amount of ground we covered! I would definitely recommend this tour if you also have a love of history and architecture.
Hadaryah_M, Dec 2024
I went during Thanksgiving weekend. Excellent Guide, so much knowledge and humor. I love architecture and history. We walked through downtown and I learned so much about Savannah's rich history and mixed styles of buildings. I highly recommend it.
