Good orientation with bonus of history. Guide was very knowledgeable. We went back to visit more sites.
Tour was perfect pace, stopped halfway and had a coffee in a cute place. Bonnie was very informative of all the local history and was able to easily answer all my questions.
This was a great way to start our time in Savannah. Bonnie was an amazing guide with so much knowledge. We loved walking around the squares and hearing all of the history. We also ate at some of the places Bonnie recommended and they did not disappoint!
Bonnie was very knowledgable of Savannah history and architecture. Our walk was usually under the cover of trees which was wonderful since it was so hot.
Bonnie was an excellent guide and being a local, really knew all the history in historic Savanah. The tour was an easy pace for us; we got to see many of the squares, and we would recommend the tour.
Was a great tour. Each square we visited had a long and important history... much that is not taught. Highly recommend!
This was such a great tour and Bonnie was knowledgeable and entertaining. It was such a great way to get oriented as well as learn about the history of this great city.
I truly enjoyed touring the Savannah Historic District with Bonnie. She was knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about Savannah’s history. The tour blended historical facts, local stories as well as hidden gems I wouldn’t have found on my own.
Bonnie was an excellent guide. Provided interesting historical information, was friendly and took the tour at a good pace. Overall, would highly recommend.
A leisurely stroll through Savannah's history by way of its shady squares. Bonny is an engaging guide who makes history come alive in the way she tells the stories of the past. There are plenty of benches to sit on along the way while enjoying her narrative.
Great historical perspective. Three hours but she does stops, and park benches. Colonial era, revolutionary, civil war era to modern times.
Bonnie is fabulous. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and we learned so much about the history of Georgia. I’d highly recommend for and this tour.
We both enjoyed learning all about the history of Savannah. Bonnie made the experience fun and interesting.
This tour was an in-depth 3 hour city tour of Savannah. Lots of history of the founding and development of the city, architecture and the way the city was developed around its squares. Although open to questions, it would have been helpful to have more of those openings. She had a specific ‘thing’ to say and didn’t seem open to interruptions! About halfway through the tour, we had an opportunity to stop at a café and get something to drink and rest for a few minutes. We enjoyed that.
Bonnie was extremely knowledgeable. She obviously is passionate about her city. She also mixed in some good tourist information (dining and shopping locations).
Overall, even though it was a three-hour tour, it passed very quickly. I highly recommend it.
Bonnie was a wealth of knowledge for 3 hours about all that is Savannah. She used her history degree to the fullest. Even with her injured leg she covered the most important arts of the cities history.
Our guide Bonnie was professional, very knowledgeable, receptive to questions, had nice sense of humor. Tour flowed very well, sharing history about settlement of Savannah, prominent people, Revolutionary & Civil War events. I would highly recommend her.
Although we covered a lot of ground, the pace was relaxed. Our guide was very knowledgeable and personable. Everyone had a pleasant time.
Super detailed history lesson covering the majority of the historic parts of Savannah. Bonnie has a fantastic knowledge of local and national history.
Bonnie was one of the best tour guides we experienced in the recent years. Extremely knowledgeable, going deep in the historical roots of the city. We learned a lot about the women and men who were instrumental to Savannah's development. Totally recommended!
Great time!! Highly recommended!! Full of fun facts and answers any questions you had , gave great suggestions on places to eat and to visit
Book it!
We did a walking tour with Bonnie. She was very informative and knowledgeable. We very much enjoyed this tour.
Bonnie is a great guide with interesting insights into the history and beauty of Historic Savannah. She walks at a very leisurely pace and talks pretty much nonstop. Except when local construction projects out compete her on their noise. Go ahead and take her tour, it’s time and money well spent!
This tour walks at a great pace, is very formative and provides an excellent overview of Savannah. Bonnie was fabulous.
Informative guide, but not very personable and extremely politically biased interpretation of Savannahs's history. Got the impression she did not want to be there.
The first tour of our first day in Savannah was with Bonnie and my goodness did she set the bar high! Our tour ended up being private by sheer dumb luck and Bonnie proved so knowledgeable about every facet of the city. Her love for Savannah is evident and she weaves its history with fun stories and clever quips. The tour is lengthy but broken up with a stop at a delicious cafe. I encourage anyone to start their trip with Bonnie’s tour as it will inform the rest of your trip with much more depth.
