A must-do when visiting Savannah. Our guide Rick gave us a wonderful experience full of history and stories. His love of Savannah shows with his restaurant and other tour recommendations. The city is unlike any other and we fell in love also. We’ve been to Savannah 4x and regret not taking this tour earlier. Love!!!

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and witty, made the jaunt pleasurable. Covered a lot of area, so wear comfortable shoes. Lots of interesting history in Savannah. There is a similar walking history tour; this one covers the same area and history; take this one.

We had the best tour guide- incredibly kind, funny, and knowledgeable. We all learned so much about Savannah, wish we had booked for our first day of the trip.

It's so helpful to get to know a new city with a guided tour. And Savannah is a beautiful town with lots to learn about within an easy walk.

This walking tour was a wonderful introduction to Savannah’s rich history and beautiful architecture. Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate, sharing fascinating stories that brought the city’s past to life. The route took us through some of Savannah’s most iconic squares and historic landmarks, making for a scenic and informative experience.
The only reason for four stars instead of five is that the tour felt a bit long in some parts, and a little more time for questions or breaks would have been nice. That said, it was a fantastic way to see the city, and I’d definitely recommend it to history lovers!

Our guide was knowledgeable, witty and a good storyteller. We toured the historic center of Savannah during the weekend everyone was in town celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day.

Rose is an informed, knowledgeable tour guide. She provided lots of insight and interesting facts - even debunking some of the folklore that wasn't factual. Well worth the time and investment to understand why Savannah became a colony, the brains behind its design, and to where it's headed in the future.

Crystal our tour guide was excellent!! She was engaging, funny, and knew her facts!
She actually was the best part of our trip !
Howard_P, Nov 2024
Crystal turned our ordinary tourist experience of Savannah into a vibrant appreciation of the people and its culture.
All the little “rabbit holes” of incredible detail she shared made our encounter a golden memory. Thank you Crystal, you are a brilliant gem.

If you love history, then you need to book this walking tour right now. At each of the squares the group visited , I was transported back into the early days of Savannah learning about its famous people, and what products made Savannah so important. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and engaging making this tour unforgettable.

Guide did not turn up due to a 'sprained ankle'. 1 hour wait for new guide. Got a refund as we had to leave Savannah before the end of the tour.
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Unfortunately emergencies happen. I’m sorry you were not able to stay for your tour. Yes, the tour started 45 minutes late, guests who stayed received a partial refund and you received a full refund.

The things we enjoyed was the stories that make the city of Savannah so interesting and historic. There is no better way to know Savannah than a walking tour of its history and interesting characters. Our guide Mark was very knowledgeable of Savannah's history and we enjoyed out time with him.

Crystal was knowledgeable, upbeat, generous with her time and a very pleasant guide.
We came away with a lot of knowledge about the history of this charming city.
Christopher_B, May 2024
The history was very good, but we did not cover a lot of ground or squares. The guide's voice was very soft, and she started the tour with about ten minutes of talking about her daughter. She did much better as we went along, and she was very thorough and knowledgeable about Savannah. We just had to keep her moving along and not get bogged down on side notes.
Terence_R, May 2024
Solid overview of the founding of Savannah and its history. Perhaps a bit too many ghost stories. But it made it fun.
Trudy_S, May 2024
