This is not just a route to all the sites in the tour books. TC shares a comprehensive, but not complicated, insight to Savannah. There is a bit of everything: music, immigration, city planning, old history, pop culture, high and low society, and some military history, which doesn't interest me, but relayed in such an engaging way that it sounded like an "inside scoop." He used an iPad Pro to play music and quotes, and show maps and photos. On our first full day this tour has made us very comfortable navigating and understanding Savannah.

TC brought the history of Savannah to life. We so enjoyed the experience. Loved the headsets we never felt the need to chase the tour guide to hear the lecture. It also allowed the group to spread out and view what was of interest to them, TC has passion for what he does and it clearly shows in his enthusiasm. We learned so much! I would highly recommend the tour he blew away his Charleston counterparts!

My wife and I did this tour on a rainy Tuesday morning on our first full day in Savannah. T.C., our tour guide, made the best of it. The tour was informative and was the most overall knowledge we received about Savannah during our stay. I especially liked the way T.C. showed photos and maps on his computer. The only thing that I would have liked added was maybe a bit of Savannah's role during the Revolutionary War.
