Choosing a tour in Savannah can be overwhelming as there are SO many choices. I chose Mad Cat Curious Cats - Hidden History of Savannah walking tour with Kerry. It was the BEST TOUR I have ever been on. Kerry is super engaging and knowledgeable. He took us to many regions of the downtown historic district that other tours seem to cover, but then he went deeper. I was surprised and excited by all that I learned. Kerry was very considerate, polite, good at listening as well as at explaining and kept careful track of all of us. He was very open to questions. His excitement about history was infectious and delightful. When I return to Savannah, I will definitely use Mad Cat Tours again. I would like to take every tour Kerry gives. Fantastic! Five stars!

Loved the walking tour and hearing the history that you won't find taught in a typical history class! Kerry, our self proclaimed nerd guide, was very knowledgeable and engaging. I would recommend this tour to anyone who has visited Savannah before and wants to hear "the rest of the story".

Kerry is a fantastic guide and we truly strive to tell all the history. Not just the hilights but the low points as well. It makes history a lot more enjoyable. Thank you so much for the kind words!
