We had a great time on this tour. T.C. really knows his history about Savannah. The tour was a walking tour and it led us around the historic district of downtown. We visited 3 homes and 3 B&B. We were actually staying at one of the B&B's. The tour was personalized. The tour company supplied us with ear buds and a small radio that can fit in your pocket. With this you could hear our tour guide T.C. talk about each place and were still able to walk around and it explore it without missing a thing. I would definitely recommend this tour to everyone.

Hi Joseph, Thank you for the incredible review! I'm so happy y'all enjoyed our tour and felt it was personalized. Those words mean so much to me because that's my goal, no matter how large or small the group. I want it to feel personal, and I'm beyond thankful you wrote that. We greatly appreciate you taking the time to write. --T.C.

Enjoyed this leisurely stroll through Savannah with TC. He was knowledgeable and mixed appropriate humor in with historical facts. The pace was pleasant and my in laws had little difficulty keeping up even with minor mobility issues. I would definitely recommend this tour with TC.
