This 2 hour walking tour of historic Savannah laid a true picture of the rich and varied history that makes this city so special. Our tour guide, Ray, provided a chronological recount of the founding of Savannah and the Georgia colony. Rayā€™s knowledge of the history, culture and diversity that makes up the city of Savannah laid a foundation for our visit. We highly recommend this tour as it was informative, entertaining and historically accurate. The two hours flew by and gave us a true sense of what Savannah is!

Ray was great. Humorous and knowledgeable. Lots of information re the founding in 1733 but also about current status of city. Of course there are the movie references because who could leave out Forrest Gump! The 2 hours sped by and I have lots of pix so that should say it all.
