We loved this walking tour of Savannah. Our tour guide gave us a great understanding of the history of this historic city, pointing out many interesting places and the fascinating stories that go with them. A great way to get acquainted with Savannah!!!

Went longer than expected but we had no plans after so it was ok. Our group was smaller so it was nice and we got to know I’m eachother. Our guide hung out with us at the last bar so that was nice. Would have liked to hear more of the history or hauntings of some of the bars we went into.

Our guide, Brad, is an 11th generation Savannahan (sp?). He not only knew about the history of the area (and pointed out architectural details), but he also included current and relevant information. He also shared some great restaurants in the area that are favorites of locals! We have booked guides all over the world and we truly enjoyed Brad!
