T. C. was a great guide and full of history of Savannah. You can feel his excitement for this city and makes it come to life as he tells the stories. His history teacher should be proud!

THIS TOUR IS AMAZING! If you are going back and forth about whether to book this tour, hit BOOK and never look back! My experience with city historic tours have usually been a miss but this tour was amazing. Our guide was TC and he is an encyclopedia of knowledge about Savannah! His passion for Savannah and history as a whole is what makes him so impressive. He gives you ear buds so you will always be able to hear him and he plays little snippets of music or quotes from different people throughout the tour. He started his tour out with some smooth jazz music by a local artist. And then he just delves in to the very best of Savannah and how it came to be such an amazing city. He touches on many different aspects of the city and enthusiastically answers all your questions. And he’s willing to take your picture for you! Such a nice guy and he really made the day for us. He also ended the day with some tunes by Johnny Mercer, famous Savannah native! We loved this tour!
