Tour guide was a no show and had zero notice no communication. Ruined our ability to find another tour. Horrible service. Will have to fight for a refund. They never showed up!

Chris, our tour guide, was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about Savannah history. We walked through several of Savannah's picturesque squares while Chris told us about the people commemorated in the monuments and the notable houses around the squares. He was also a good source of recommendations for lunch after our tour! Would highly recommend this tour company.

Chris gave us a fascinating tour using the network of Savanna’s many squares to weave the historical stories and leave us with a solid understanding of this beautiful city’s past and present.
