Great walking tour in the historic district. Using electronics with ear buds meant we could look around and not all be jammed together to hear TC. He knows the history well and shares his love for Savannah.

Hi Gene228, I'm so happy and thankful you enjoyed our historic walking tour. I agree and love that the earbuds allow guests to walk with leg room. Plus, they allow guests to hear those great stories of Savannah. I sincerely hope you enjoyed the rest of your visit to Savannah and your words mean so much to our family. Thank you, --T.C.

Guide was knowledgeable, friendly and interactive. Tour was a good length and well-paced. Individual listening devices allowed me to hear every word spoken regardless of where the guide was in relation to the group or noise from wind, traffic or other activity going on around me.

This daytime walking tour of Savannah's Historical District and Square's exceeded expectations. "TC" ,the host, kept our interest peeked throughout the entire 2 hours and the wireless earbuds provided, added to the enjoyment (no interference at all from street noise). To my knowledge, no other tour in Savannah utilizes wireless technology...and an added bonus, we got to keep the high quality earbuds. I've visited Savannah several time on business and this visit was a short personal vacation for me and my wife to really enjoy this beautiful city. TC's knowledge of the historical district and his entertaining delivery were spot on. After the tour finished, my wife and I revisited each of the squares, sat on a park bench with a cup of coffee, and recalled the stories shared by TC envisioning the history behind each story. The "Best Savannah Tour" greatly enhanced our appreciation for Savannah and will definitely take the "Ghost Tour" with TC on our next visit.
