I loved my tour guide TC for his love and knowledge of the city, its complex history and its more recent development. He supplemented his knowledge with clips he shared on his iPad. A real highlight of my visit. I don’t usually write reviews but TC deserves it

Interesting historical facts presented with Chatman and wit. Failed to gift our guide since I was in a hurry to get my husband food. So sorry.

T.C. was amazing! Great stories about Savannah’s history. He really brought it to life in the most exciting way! Our time flew and the walk was super easy, several seniors were in the tour and had no issues at all.
