Great App

Kim_P, Mar 2026

It was easy to navigate our way around Savannah at our own pace so that we could pick and choose where to spend some extra time. We learned so much about the area from the interesting commentary.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thanks for the review, we're glad you liked it! Happy to hear you enjoyed the flexibility too, we think it makes a great format for exploring the historic district.

Use Drive and Detours instead

Emily_P, Jan 2026

Viator is awful. The tour was great but had to buy twice once thru Viator and then once again through the real provider Drives and Detours. Use them!

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thanks for the kind words about the tour, we’re really glad you enjoyed it. We’re sorry for the frustration around the booking instructions. Unfortunately, Viator is limited in how redemption details are presented which can make the process less clear than it should be. We appreciate you calling it out and we’ll push for improvements so future guests have a smoother experience. Also, if a duplicate purchase occurred, we’re more than happy to make it right. Please reach out to us directly and we’ll take care of it.

Lots of great...

Tammi_C, Jan 2026

Lots of great information. I did get confused as to what building she was talking about but figured it out after awhile. Great way to explore the historic district at my own pace.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Glad you enjoyed! If you have a moment, we'd love to get a bit more detail about the building you are referring to so we can update the tour to make it more clear. Just reach out to us at feedback@drivesanddetours.com. Thanks for leaving a review!
