Kerry did a great job of providing us with some detailed insight into the history of many buildings and historical figures in Savannah. He was friendly, energetic and always open to questions. Pricing was very reasonable and we even got a discount code on the website to use . I would recommend the tour and may consider doing his ghost tour during a future visit .

I only had one full day in Savannah and the 'Curious Cat Morning History Tour' was the ideal introduction to Savannah. It wasn't too hot, thank goodness, and having the luxury of the tour to myself allowed us to sit in the shade during portions of the walk and talk. Guide Kerry was the consummate southern gentleman, giving articulate, witty and extremely gracious explanations for the historical events and monuments and answers to all my questions. We conveniently started and finished in lovely and serene Chippewa Square, with a handy cafe at the edge of the square to pop into pre or post-tour. We covered a lot of territory, even up (& down) to River Street so I got a good idea on how best to plan the remainder of my day. There are lots of walking tours advertised for Savannah, plus the Trolleys, but I'm glad I chose this company to really deliver what's promised and more! Check out their web-site for discounts when booking at their already very competitive prices and it's also stated that a portion of every ticket sold goes to the preservation and maintenance of Savannah's Historic District. That is real integrity and proof of dedication to showing off this quirky and magical city to newcomers in the most pleasant and charming manner! 'Mad Cat Tours' seem to be just that little different, as their innovative name demonstrates!
