Our guide was very knowledgeable on Savannah's history and we could see that it was a passion of hers to learn and share that with others. We covered a lot of ground and saw some very interesting sights along the way. Our guide was helpful and had information about building tours, restaurants and many other recommendations in the area.
We highly recommend this if you're new to Savannah.

GREAT walking tour with Savannah…in Savannah! She was extremely knowledgeable and obviously loved what she was doing which always makes the event more fun. Her history lesson throughout the tour was authentic and not just a canned speech. She had even done some independent research on various topics which she shared with us. 100% worth the cost. We would certainly take another tour and ask specifically for Savannah!
Amy_R, Jun 2026

Our historic walking tour guide was awesome and really knew her Charleston history. I can’t remember her name, but she was also entertaining and keeping us safe by telling us to stay out of the sun.

Take an umbrella. Our tour rained out unfortunately. Probably made it 3/4 through and then the skies opened up. That being said, we still enjoyed it.

It was nice to have the earpieces so that we could easily hear even in a large group. They were kind enough to give us earbuds for our kids. Great way to see and learn about Savannah

Rodney Steward is indeed a historian who knows the details of all that he addresses on the walking tour. He does a wonderful of infusing history with a spontaneous sense of humor as well as a practical knowledge of where to get the best gelato and coffee!

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!
