What a fabulous tour, from a guide who is so knowledgeable and passionate about Savannah history. He incorporated music and digital visuals to complement the information and sights along the tour. He got to know us and interacted frequently; drawing us into the topics and inviting questions along the way. The headsets we received allowed us social distancing and to hear him no matter where we were standing. He gave us food tips and local highlights for the rest of our stay. We finished the tour with a genuine understanding of Savannah history. Just so good.

Absolutely amazing tour! T.C. was relaxed, friendly, warm, knowledgeable. You can definitely feel how much he loves his city, and it's contagious! The audio devices were really terrific, allowed for a relaxing stroll around the squares and streets, allowed T.C. to incorporate music and other great audio. I loved his use of the iPad to show photos to enhance the history lessons. Additionally, he recommended several local businesses during the tour -- Clary's, the Chocolate Library, the really cool hidden store with the antique maps, photos, and other documents, etc. We would have never done those places if he hadn't mentioned them, and we were so glad we did. This tour was definitely one of the highlights of our trip!
