Our tour guide was very informative and had a passion for the area. TJ showed us pictures of what places looked like before and what it looks like now. I highly recommend taking the tour to understand the beauty of Savannah.

This was a great tour and recommend doing it on your first day. The historical insights and stories were great and because the guide was local to Savannah for 12 years, wonderful insights on the local scene and recommendations. In addition he was very entertaining and we learned about things we would never have noticed or visited on our own.

We heard lots about movies and other things but little about history. Our tour guide was more of a thespian than a historian. That’s the second time I’ve booked a historic walking tour on TripAdvisor and had an actor/actress as the tour guide. That was disappointing, when I book a historical walking tour I want them to share about the history of the area.
