Jackie was very knowledgeable and provided a historical context for the 'squares that make Savannah famous. She also recommended places to which we could return. In our case it was the The Green-Meldrim House beside Madison Square. We were able to return a second day and have our bearings plus follow up another recommendation - the historic homes on Ogelthorpe.

Good tour but we had trouble finding the starting place so missed part of the tour. The owner did the tour and made a number of negative comments about northerners and the previous president of the US. Totally unnecessary and ruined his otherwise fine tour.

We really enjoyed this walking tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the area. Highly recommend this tour.

It was a good tour. We made our reservation late so we did not have much to choose from. I wish we had done a tour that went into some of the houses. I was surprised, the guide talked a lot about the civil war but nothing about the slaves. I would guess the slaves had a major role in building Savannah, in its economy, and in it's history. At least Charleston tours will mention the slave market and their contributions to the city. It was maybe a 2 mile walk. We saw a lot of squares and what was significant of each one. It was a lot better than the ghost tour we did later that evening. The ghost tour was a waste of time.

OUR GUIDE WAS EXCELLENT! EVEN THOUGH OUR TOUR WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO ENCOMPASS THE FOUNTAIN HE TOOK US UP THERE SINCE ALL OF US WANTED PICTURES. HE WAS VERY INFORMATIVE AND HAD AN EXCELLENT GRASP OF THE HISTORY AND POINTED OUT SEVERAL SIGNIFICANT FACTS AS WELL AS A FEW GHOST STORY REFERENCES THAT WERE ALSO VERY INTERESTING. HE DIDN'T SEEM TO MIND THAT HE WENT OVER THE ACTUAL TOUR TIME AND CUT IN TO HIS LUNCH HOUR. OVERALL, A VERY INTERESTING EXPERIENCE.

Highly recommend starting your time in Savannah with this walking tour. Our guide was thorough in explaining significance, history and folklore we saw on the tour. He offered much information to help us make the best use of our time while in Savannah.

It was so informative. My wife and I had never never been in Savannah before this trip. The beautify of the city paralleled the history and the information that we gleaned. The recommendation of where to eat was the icing on the cake. Not to take the tour is foolish.

Great. Would definitely recommend.

This was a good tour and gave a nice overview of the area. Our tour guide was late, but called to let us know and extended the tour to make up for the time. He was a little dry, but gave great information.

We had a fantastic experience on our walking tour. Brad was our tour guide. He was very pleasant and extremely informative about the history of Savannah. He contacted me the night before by text introducing himself by name and confirming our tour. We were fortunate to be the only 2 people for the tour so we had a very personal experience. I highly recommend this tour for an up close view of the beautiful city of Savannah.

We were instructed to arrive ten minutes prior to the 10 am start of the tour. The guide finally showed up at 10:10. I was on a tight schedule so had to leave the tour prior to completion. _br/_ Guide was knowledgeable, but even in the South, one should arrive on time.

Extremely knowledgeable guide. I have difficulty hearing and had no problem. We saw all the highlights of Savanna's historical district with many interesting anecdotes. We were running late and couldn't find a parking spot. Since I booked with Viator, the guide had our phone number. We weren't there 10 minutes early as requested so we got a call. Told him would be there at the time or a few minutes later. He said would start talking at the meeting spot and not to worry he would be there. I was very happy that Viator gave him my cell.

Nice tour but the guide was 15 minutes late, I know it is the South but still and no apologies for tardiness.

The best tour! We had the guide all to ourselves and she was funny., knowledgeable and interesting. Highly recommend this historical walk!
Review by: James D, May 2017
The tour itself was fine our tour guide not so much. He forgot that the Civil War ended over 150 years ago. He took several opportunities to disparage the North with various comments. We signed up to learn about Savannah, not someone's personal opinions on everything he felt compelled to share his wisdom with us on.

Interesting, knowledgable guide. Just what we wanted as an overview of beautiful Savannah.
Review by: Nancy M, April 2017
Great day!! Our tour guide Brad was knowledgeable and informative. He even texted us to confirm the arrival spot and how to identify him. We walked around all of the Savannah and he told us many stories about the buildings and how Savannah started. We even had a question after the tour was over and texted him. He got right back to us and gave us the information we wanted. Great day!!

Very interesting tour and was definitely worth doing while in Savannah.
Review by: Chuck R, February 2017
It was a beautiful day for a walk around historic Savannah, so my wife and I headed down from Beaufort and broke the historic walking tour. Our tour guide Lance even though a LA transplant was full of local knowledge and gave us a good grounding in the history of this beautiful city. Lots of tips on where and where not to eat! Well worth the price.
