We had such a wonderful time! Tour was fun and informative, and our tour guide Sam was so great that we called to book a second tour with him the next day. Highly suggest as a way to see the city on one of your first days in Savannah!

If you want to learn a lot about Savannah’s military history and grab some great drinks along the way, this is the tour you should book. Austin was great, giving us a lot of information on both well known and not so well known military conflicts that occurred in or around Savannah, along with some humorous tidbits about each. Go on this tour.

Had a Great Time

Shaughnessy_F, Jul 2026

Lovely way to spend an afternoon. It was a bight lighter on the "battles" component but still had tons of history and our guide was both knowledgeable and entertaining.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you for joining us! We’re glad you enjoyed spending the afternoon with us and found the history and storytelling engaging. While the “battles” portion may not have been quite what you expected, we appreciate you recognizing the knowledge and entertainment our guide brought to the experience. Thanks for sharing your feedback, and we hope to see you again!

Sam gave a great overview...

Eric_T, May 2026

Sam gave a great overview of Savannah's role in the civil war while weaving other local history in. It was easy to tell that he was passionate about history and spent a lot of time outside of work researching information.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear Sam’s passion for Savannah and its Civil War history came through during your tour. It’s especially wonderful to hear that his dedication to researching and sharing the city’s history was noticeable. We truly appreciate you joining us and taking the time to recognize his efforts!

Disappointing Tour

Patricia_R, Apr 2026

The experience is not as described. You will not stop at 5 bars to learn about the Generals who fought in the war. You will walk through the grids and learn about some history of the grid and statue.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Patricia. We’re sorry to hear the experience didn’t align with your expectations based on the tour description. We appreciate you bringing your concerns about the bar stops and historical content to our attention. Guest feedback like this is valuable as we continually evaluate how clearly we communicate the experience and what guests can expect when booking.

Fun + informative -- great tour guide!

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great time with Sam that you decided to book a second tour with him the very next day! We love hearing that he made the experience both fun and informative. We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope you enjoyed your second adventure with us just as much!

Joann kept us all...

Joan_B, Mar 2026

Joann kept us all interested in historic Savannah. It was a chilly evening but we started at 6/Pence and visited other establishments on the way. A walk through a cemetery was informative as well. It ended at bootleggers on the river

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you, Joan! We’re glad Joann kept everyone engaged while exploring Savannah’s fascinating history. It sounds like you enjoyed discovering several different parts of the city, including the cemetery and the riverfront. We appreciate you joining us despite the chilly evening and taking the time to share your experience!

Estelle_S, Nov 2025

Becca was very knowledgeable about Savannahs history and was a great guide. Lots of interesting tidbits of information about history, but also about architecture and other things that you would probably miss if you were just walking around.

Great History and Drinks

We had a great time with Austin. He was very knowledgeable and was very personable. 10/10 would ask Austin obscure questions again.

Activity postponed

Frederick_E, Jan 2025

Activity canceled due to weather. Being from Ohio, it didn't seem like enough to cancel, but it all depends on what you're used to. Disappointing, but understandable
