We did a private 3 hour tour of Savannah's Historic District with Bonnie, and it was truly fascinating. Bonnie is a great storyteller with an extraordinary knowledge of Savannah's history. She's able to convey her knowledge in a manner that is thoroughly engaging. The three hours we spent with her just flew by! She makes one of the loveliest cities in America even lovelier. HIGHLY recommended!

Bonnie is both very professional and very fun. She is very knowledgeable of Savannah's history, and applies an intriguing personal touch along with the perfect blend of humor on her walking tours. We went on her Ghost Tour, and it was a perfect blend of ghost stories and Savannah's historical darker side. We saw parts of the historical district that one wouldn't normally see. Earlier in the day, we ran into another Savannah local who also conducts different tours. He recommended Bonnie and said she was really good, which was even more reassuring as we had already made reservations for her Ghost Tour. Because she is so knowledgeable, I can only imagine that her Historical Tour is also incredible. On our return trip to Savannah, we plan to make reservations for her history tour. Her website is also an incredible primary source of everything Savannah.
