TC was extremely knowledgeable. With his stories, he brought history to life! The tour was very interesting for me, especially because I'm not a history buff. He got into the right amount details, without overdoing it, and expanded when someone took a specific interest in something. Fun and personable is how I would describe it. I highly recommend this tour!

The tour led today by TC was brilliant. Having the audio receivers made the tour so much more enjoyable, not having to huddle together to hear everything and, in my case, to be able to get in a position for a good photograph and not miss anything. TC mixed his informative and entertaining commentary with audio clips and images on his tablet to add to the experience. Having read 'The Book', we enjoyed a local insight the background to 'Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil'. TC has a real passion for Savannah, and we would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone. We would rate it one of the best we have done in any city.

TC is a expressive and passionate tour guide. My wife and I were walking around the historic district for 3 days & I saw other tour guides - not one of them seemed to have the sincere love and passion for Savannah History (and Savannah in the present). It is very apparent that he takes pride in his work and works to refine his knowledge. Obviously, you are not going to see or hear Savannah's total history in a 2 hour walk - but the places you do visit TC's story telling skills enable his guest to feel intimate connections to the history. Ohh....and the earbuds REALLY enhance the experience. I can't believe that all the guides aren't using them.
