This was the best tour. We learned more about the story of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil . Ryan was very knowledgeable and shared photos of the characters in the movie

We are huge fans of the movie and the book. It was great to see all the places that you have read about and walk the some streets as your favorite characters have. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the real stories and gave us a great understanding of what the real stories were compared to Hollywood’s creative licensing. Job well done.
