Kerry was a phenomenal guide! A self-proclaimed history nerd, he has done the work of researching original letters written by founding members of the Savannah community. This tour provides history you won’t find on other tours. Kerry takes pride in offering interesting facts from Savannah’s early days, not just popular folklore frequently passed down to sell more tour tickets. His enthusiasm, kindness & humor permeate the entire experience. He was also excellent with communication leading up to the tour, and offers to help with directions to your next destination afterwards. Most certainly one of the best ways to spend a couple of hours in Savannah!

My husband and I both loved this tour. Kerry did a fantastic job telling us many little known historical facts about Savannah. This tour was my favorite of all the things that we did in our 4 days in Savannah.

Our guide, Kerry, was incredibly knowledgeable. The tour took us through several of Savannah's squares where we learned lesser known history about the area. Super informative, very engaging.

I'm am so glad that you appreciate the lesser known history! We do extensive research and read 100s of books to find out all the details of the people responsible for making Savannah and Georgia a city and colony. And we don't dismiss things that are less than laudable. Kerry is a fantastic guide, an ardent historian and an all around engaging individual. Thank you for joining Hidden History and thank you for the review.
