Kerry was an awesome tour guide! I learned a lot about Savannah that I don’t think I would’ve ever learned if not for this tour.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Our history tour is absolutely fascinating and your guide is an avid historian!
We do extensive research.
The history of Savannah is seriously fun.
Thank you for joining us and thank you so much for the review!

Our guide, Kerry, was knowledgeable and very entertaining. He took time and there was no rushing us from one square to the next. We learned so much more than what the history books told us. We love walking tours and this was one of the best. I would highly recommend this tour while enjoying the beautiful city of Savannah which is so rich with some pretty complicated history!!
Response from Host, Nov 2025

Enjoyed the hidden history. Kerry was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The 10:30 start time made it possible to get to Savannah and find parking.

Thank you joining us and thank you for the review!

Kerry was a phenomenal guide! A self-proclaimed history nerd, he has done the work of researching original letters written by founding members of the Savannah community. This tour provides history you won’t find on other tours. Kerry takes pride in offering interesting facts from Savannah’s early days, not just popular folklore frequently passed down to sell more tour tickets. His enthusiasm, kindness & humor permeate the entire experience. He was also excellent with communication leading up to the tour, and offers to help with directions to your next destination afterwards. Most certainly one of the best ways to spend a couple of hours in Savannah!
Response from Host, Nov 2022

He is incredibly knowledgeable and personable!
Thank you for joining us and thank you for the review!

My husband and I both loved this tour. Kerry did a fantastic job telling us many little known historical facts about Savannah. This tour was my favorite of all the things that we did in our 4 days in Savannah.

Kerry is a wonderfully knowledgeable guide and a great person.
I am so glad you had fun.
Thank you.
Malcolm_A, Feb 2022
Kerry was very entertaining, informative and appears to love what he does. He was great at telling the gossipy history and interesting back story to Savannah. I took the morning tour and my only regret was that he was not available for an afternoon walking tour!
Response from Host, Feb 2022
Total agreement! Kerry is simply amazing and our Hidden History tour gives an entertaining view of Savannah history and the people who made it.
Thank you for the review.

We booked a Thursday morning tour with Jackie. She has a great way of story telling adding in anecdotes and history to make it all digestible. My 3 kids got a lot of good facts and understanding. What a great way to learn history - right where it all happened.
Response from Host, Aug 2020
So happy you had fun, we loved having you with us! Savannah is so fun and so beautiful, we are the luckiest people to share this unique treasure with people from all over the world!
