Elizabeth S. - I've taken a number of tours over the many years I've been coming to Savannah and this is the best I've been on, from the beginning to the very end. T.C. was extremely personable and knowledgeable with every guest as they joined the tour. It was an excellent weave of old and new information about Savannah. It even covered information that I hadn't previously heard on other tours. I loved that they have sound receivers and ear plugs so that you can hear everything without having to stick tight with the guide. And, I loved the pictures, sound recordings and music that were woven in. I've decided that even though I've done 2-3 ghost tours before and swore I would never do another, I'll do Genteel and Bard's ghost tour next time I visit Savannah. I would highly recommend this tour.

We walked Fri Mar 23 @ 1:30. Weather was perfect. TC met us around 1:05 and started the tour at 1:30. TC's talk was interesting and informative, and the tour was very well paced. We finished about 3:45 wanting more. We rode the Ho-Ho the next day and saw much more but did not get a good feel for what we were seeing. Would highly recommend TC to anyone interested in hearning history of historic Savannah.
