OUTSTANDING! Having never been to Savannah before I wanted to learn about the enormous history that this city had. I signed up for this early morning walking tour with TC and could not have asked for a more knowledgeable, friendly, professional, informative guide. With the use of individual headphones and receivers we were able to hear every word even if we lagged behind taking photos or reading an info sign. The walk was just over 2 hours but was at a very casual pace. TC gave us many ideas of where we should go after the tour regarding places of interest, dining, shopping and things to do. The 7 of us on the tour left being much better informed and were all very thankful for our early morning history lesson. I highly recommend this tour with TC.

My family of 4 didn't decide we wanted to go on a ghost tour until dinner the night of the tour. Consequently, there were only 2 spots left in the tour, but they were able to accommodate us by using splitters to allow the last two receivers to transmit to the four of us. This was our first ghost tour, so we did not know what to expect. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and funny. He was great with names and involved each group on the tour with a story about their hotel or where they were from. He had first hand stories of his experience living in Savannah's Historic District. My wife was not very excited about the tour going in, but she admitted that she had a lot of fun. I enjoyed the fact that it was a walking tour. I would definitely recommend this tour.

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. TC was extremely knowledgeable and a wonderful storyteller. His attention to the personal details of the events made it so much more memorable. He made us laugh, cry and dance during our 2 hours with him! All in all a great time!
