Not at all what we expected. We were mostly & primarily looking forward to seeing some Plantations, as is stated in the description! HEADS UP to all who are also looking forward to seeing Plantations...there aren't any! Also, we were under the impression that we could get out of the vehicle for at least 15 minutes to go into the churches, but that didn't happen either! We drove around all the squares, but after about 10, it gets a bit old.
Our guide talked way too much about himself and where he grew up etc. He gave us no more info than the trolley drivers, but remember that this tour is $100 per person! Definitely not worth it. You're better off taking the trolley. The Trolley drivers are fun and give WAY more fun facts that did our "personal driver". We asked specific questions that he couldn't answer (even though he grew up in Savannah) - he only knew what was "scripted".
A tip: Sign up for some of the House tours (NOT INCLUDED IN THIS TOUR). You will have a tour guide and that guide will give you lots of great History regarding the house and its owners.
Our tour guide pointed out the names of some of the Historical Homes, but did not provide much information regarding them.
Sorry to be negative, but I'm just being honest. If this tour was $30 a person, I could live with that, but since it was $100 per person, I'm suggesting that you save your money!

I'm sorry you had a negative experience on your tour. However, your review has several inaccuracies. First of all, you mention twice that this tour costs $100. That is not true; the cost of this tour is around $75 (TripAdvisor can fluctuate the final retail price). Second, you mention not being able to go into the churches but we ALWAYS let our clients go into the Cathedral of St. John the Divine if it is open. The other two churches are usually not open for visitors so we don't go inside. Finally, there are no working or preserved plantations in Savannah. We take you to the sites of two former plantations, Wormsloe Historic Site and Bonaventure Cemetery. The historic site includes the ruins of the plantation home and Bonaventure is now a working cemetery.
I don't feel your review is negative, but I do want to make sure the facts about the tour are clear. Again, I'm sorry if the tour did not meet your expectations. We do appreciate your business and thank you for providing your feedback about the tour.
