This is a fabulous tour and Dennis was an amazing tour guide. He was super funny, cordial and knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire day.
Response from Host, Nov 2026
Dennis loves what he does and it shows! We are happy to hear you had a great time. Thank you for choosing Gray Line.
Albert was very knowledgeable and nice. While the places were interesting, the amount of time was too long. It would have been good to have some time to explore a bit on our own along with the guided part. The lunch place had good food, but it took a long time. They had trouble keeping up with the amount of people that came in at one time. We had an okay time but would not do it again.

Great tour. Ashley was our tour guide - she entertained with whacky humour at the periphery but was all business, totally informed and passionate about her subject when it came to the site visits - a super blend that made for an entertaining and most informative tour. We really enjoyed it!
The restaurant chosen for lunch was very good and the quick visit to the cookie factory at the end hit rounded all off nicely!
Strongly recommend!
We wanted to experience some of the sights and history outside of Savannah’s historic district. This tour was fantastic! Two beautiful locales steeped in history with an amazing lunch stop in between. Our guide, Dennis, was a wealth of knowledge. He was fun, entertaining, and kept us on schedule. The complimentary pick up/drop off at our hotel was an added bonus. Highly recommend!

Excellent . Dennis was a very knowledgeable tour guide pretty much a walking encyclopedia eventhough the amount of info that was shared was a bit overwhelming and the amount of time on the bus was a bit excessive. But he was so kind to drop us off at our hotel I must say this really made up for any negatives that I may have been able to come up with. Overall excellent!

Was not what we expected, all history we had heard on earlier city tours with little to no haunting or ghosts stories
Response from Host, Sep 2026
This tour is not supposed to be a ghost tour. Sorry you misunderstood what the content was supposed to cover.

This was a fantastic tour. Dennis was incredibly knowledgeable, fun, kind, and accommodating. Had ponchos for when it was raining and also provided water bottles and bug spray. This is a must do for your Savannah trip!

Our tour guide Dennis did an outstanding job on our tour. He has done so much research on Savannah, the cemetery and various families buried there that he can easily provide an in depth history and immediately answer most any question asked

Dennis was a wonderful guide. He took us through the cemetery on foot even in the rain to give us the best tour possible.

This was a very worthwhile tour. The tour bus picked us up right by our VRBO which was very convenient. We had an appropriate amount of time at both venues, learned some very interesting tidbits about history, saw some of the most famous graves at Bonaventure, and got great photos down the roadway of live oaks at Wormsloe. Lunch at the Driftaway Cafe was very enjoyable, and the final stop at Byrd's Cookies was fun and delicious. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to visit both Bonaventure and Wormsloe.

Our tour guide Dennis was not only knowledgable about everything but interactive with everyone! He was fun yet professional. He went above and beyond! My wife and I enjoyed it immensely!

This tour was a highlight of the trip. The guide was very friendly, knowledgeable, entertaining, and did a great job bringing history to life. He also had a key to the locked gate at Wormsloe, which allowed us entry to the oak-lined tunnel of trees and enabled is to capture beautiful pictures. The last stop on the tour was a cookie store, which was a great way to cap off the experience.

Our tour guide Albert is absolutely amazing. Very knowledgeable about Savannah’s history and I enjoyed the entire tour! This is also a very efficient tour with two sites visited in one day. But it doesn’t feel any site was not given enough time. Would recommend everyone to book tour with him. Thank you, Albert!

Long day (7 hours hotel to hotel) but we'll worth it. Very informative and historical. Thoroughly enjoyed our guide, Dennis.
Response from Host, Jun 2026

Found this far too long. Sadly the reviews about Tim are valid. I always like to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and form my own opinions, but in this case the general consensus was correct. You can tell he’s very passionate about the history, especially when it comes to one particular family, but it was just way too much talking and no opportunity to self-explore. It was also incredibly hot the day I was on the tour and he didn’t seem to acknowledge that, constantly stopping every few minutes to talk more, leaving many of us scrambling to find shade. The sites are absolutely beautiful and it sounds like other guides may create a different experience but I would recommend anyone else self guide to explore what they want to on their own.

Just finished a tour with Dennis and it was excellent! He is so kind, memorized everyone's name and is extremely knowledgeable about the history at all the sites. He is funny and made the tour so enjoyable. Thank you, Dennis..."no,no, Thank you!" 😊
