The gardens were lovely, the squirrels were adorable and not afraid. My husband and I learned more about the locations and homes from reading the plaques and google than we did from the audio tour. The voices used were to mechanical, not informative, and very short.

Hi Meredith It sounds like you might have been listening to an audio tour not provided by VoiceMap. Our tour is recorded by a passionate local and isn't computer-generated. We also include sound effects to bring the stories to life. The tour has over 40 minutes of audio, providing and in-depth overview of Savannah's historical district. Kind regards, Alicia

We took an on-off bus tour. Got off at this stop, Forsyth Park, just awesome. The fountain was the best, many pictures taken. Tree lined, just a wonderful place to relax and see the sights. I recommend the on-off bus so you can get off anyplace on the line and explore that area, back on bus to check out more.
