Very pleasant walking experience and interesting historic details! Strangers asked my tour guide for information about local sites and he was very knowledgeable and helpful to them, too.

Our guide was Martin S. The tour lasted two hours. Lots of history, architecture, places to eat, parks, wars, and key players in Savannah's history. Well worth the time and money. For the most part the walk was easy and at our pace. This is not a group tour just the two of us.
