It was a great self guided walking tour, great info on the city and history. Highly recommend if you want to do on your own timeline. We stopped a couple times for drinks along the way. Then resumed where we left off!

Great way to see the sights and learn about the history of Savannah at your pace and on your schedule. When you want you can stop for lunch, a drink or an ice cream at Leopold’s! It’s narrated by a native son of Savannah who still lives in the historic district. It was educational, informative and entertaining. Don’t ever worry again about not being able to get in a tour because they are all booked up or because it doesn’t fit your schedule. This is the solution! We thoroughly enjoyed it!
