This may be the best tour I've ever taken--and I've done them all over the world. It's a live tour guide who incorporates media--music, voice, and photos with the tour. You will learn the history of Savannah and a great deal about the architecture of this beautiful historic district. TC was funny, informative and serious when needed. He also called you by name; such a lovely touch. He also spent a good amount of his time after the tour talking to my daughter about SCAD (the art and design school in Savannah). The earphones that are provided make it easy to hear and walk around the area while listening. I wasn't bored for one minute and neither was my 17-year-old daughter. I'd go on the same tour again, tomorrow, if I could. it's just a little over 2 hours and goes at a nice pace. Also, feel free to ask the tour guide anything after the tour. I can't recommend this tour highly enough. I wish I could have gone on their ghost tour too; maybe next time. I see the company has a blog and youtube videos--check those out too. I found some great information on restaurants and other attractions there.

We LOVED this tour. We learned so much about the city and even got a little more time than we bargained for! TC was our guide and we couldn’t have asked for better. His love and passion for the city and its history was contagious! We were so mesmerized that we even forgot to take pictures and had to go back through once it was over. Overall, we highly recommend. Thank you so much TC!
