Published on Jan, 2025

Great tour and TK was very knowledgeable and a fun guide. Savannah is full of history and culture. Would totally recommend this tour. Ours was well over 2 hours long.

Excellent!

Published on Jan, 2025

This walking tour is exceptional. The guide is extremely knowledgeable about the history in this area. We learned so much and appreciated the historical stories that make Savannah such a special place. The pace of this walking tour was comfortable as we made frequent stops to hear detailed stories of each park square and building before us. We can’t say enough good things about this tour or the guide. It is well worth the money and this experience was the highlight of our trip.

My wife and I loved TC’s energetic and thoughtful tour. We liked the personal headsets and addition of visual aids, quotes and music. The tour gave a nice flavor of Savannah‘s early days right through to the present. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent Tour and Guide!
