It was a wonderful walking tour. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and had a love of Savannah! He used a microphone and ear pieces. Felt so involved.
We had a great time learning about the interesting history of Savannah. So much fun stuff to see. Our guide was awesome
Very informative tour that did not overwhelm us with trivia. Friendly guide who was knowledgeable about Savannah, historically, culturally, and environmentally. Easy pace and pleasant experience.
This was a fantastic tour! Andrew shared a wealth of information about the history of Savannah as well as things to see and places to eat while we’re here. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and highly recommend it!
If you enjoy history walks, this one was good. It presents an overview of the parks, churches, buildings, and statues in the city center. It's best to take a few notes if you'd like to revisit the area or to enter the buildings/churches/synagogue.
Informative and educational, providing quite a bit of detail about key founders and city beginnings.
Very informative and entertaining. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the town and history.
The tour was fun and very interesting. Our guide Pearce was so knowledgeable and was very pleasant. Highly recommend.
Champ was an excellent guide, pointing out landmarks with historical context and answered questions nicely. He even discussed some of the local plants and trees and injected humor along the way. Savannah is a beautiful city.
Great experience and learning opportunity. It was wonderful way to start our vacation in Savannah. Thank you
Very nice tour full of historical info that was delivered by Andrew who was very well informed and also very pleasant
Excellent walking tour. Loved having the headsets so we could hear all of the history. Our guide Andrew was knowledgeable, and engaging. Definitely recommend this tour.
I highly recommend this small walking tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Savannah, pointing out interesting aspects of landmarks and monuments.
Champ was our guide and he knew EVERYTHING! History, wartime, fauna, architecture! Engaging and informative!
Very informative and most interesting. It provides a great overview of the city history and culture.
Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate about the area. She took us throughout the historic district.
Our tour guide knew the specific area we toured, as well as the general history of Savannah, and, as a former history teacher, presented it in an interesting compelling manner.
Good tour! It was funny, informative, and engaging overall. One suggestion: when discussing slavery or civil rights, try to avoid repeatedly looking at the only African American person(s) on the tour. It created an awkward moment and felt like an assumption. Not every Black person is a descendant of enslaved people, and it's best not to single anyone out during those parts of the tour.
This was an excellent tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history and background of the city. We would highly recommend this tour for anyone that’s interested in the history of Savannah.
Pierce gave an indepth and engaging history of Savannah and Georgia. Great experience if you want to learn the history and see the city!
Pierce was an exceptional docent! He was a native Savannahian and he knew the history of the town and the squares very well! Easy to listen to, found us all shade when he stopped to elaborate and very good with answering questions. Would recommend a Viator tour any day! And if you get Pierce you are extra lucky!
Very informative and interesting. Guide was very knowledgeable. She stopped in shade whenever possible.
The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Love that we had audio provided as well. 5 stars well deserved!
Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed learning about Savannah's history and architecture. My husband and I went with our teenage daughter and we all enjoyed the tour. We highly recommend.
Very engaging walking tour with the guide, Kelce. I’ve been coming to Savannah for years yet I learned so many interesting facts. Definitely recommend!
This walking tour gives you so much info on the city. Our guide knows the ins and outs of Savannah. We even asked him about good restaurants, took his advice and the place was great!
Very informative. You might be better off not doing it when it is 100 degrees out but the tour guide was nice, great about answering questions, and read his audience well.
Leisurely paced waking tour of Savannah's historic district. Included are town squares, homes, tree canopy covered streets, architecture, religious centers, statues, monuments, and more. Champ was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable.
Great tour about Savannah history. Our tour guide Champ was very knowledgeable. Would recommend this tour to any first timer visiting Savannah.
Booked this after other tour canceled Friday morning. Tour guide, Champ, was very knowledgeable and answered every question. Would highly recommend.
