This review is several years old but it just appeared and we’ll take it. Delighted you had a good time on our tour during the reign of Covid!

I’ve been on dozens of historic tours and what I enjoy most is seeing passion by the guide for their historical subject. Oftentimes the guide is regurgitating historical information but Zack’s enthusiasm for Savannah history was evident. Book it, you won’t be disappointed.

I booked and paid for a civil war tour that should have been today at 10am om the 4th December 2024. I was at the meeting point 40 minutes before the sheduled departure and waited until 10.10 am but no guide showed up! I have heard nothing from the company! Now I get another mail from them, saying that I have the same tour booked fir tomorrow, which I have never booked and will not attend! I really thing this whole experience has been so unprofessionel

Our guide called the evening before the tour informing us that he had a high fever and chills. There wasn’t time to secure a replacement guide so we reached out to the guest to try and reschedule. However, being from Denmark, the guest had no access to phone service and didn’t leave an email address. We used the only option left which was texting. We sent two text messages and neither was ever responded to. The guest was aware of all of this so leaving a bad review is really just her throwing sand at this point.
