    Our guide was very knowledgeable--we learned so much! We started off in Cherokee Park and went around to various squares and historic houses. Getting a little "insider" information about places is worth the tour.
    Happy to have found this walking tour!

    It was our first time in Savannah. We were able to call our guide when we weren’t sure we’d found the right meeting spot. She was prompt and took us to several spots and provided the historic sound bites that held our interest. She asked multiple times if we had any questions. We highly recommend Sarah.
    Please do yourself a favor and learn many nuances of Savannah history … very walkable tour

    What an amazing young lady (Sarah) she was insightful and informative!!! We ended up having private tour because others cancelled… our fortune because we had undivided attention. What a wonderful takeaway from our experience of Savannah !!!

    Our tour guide Sarah was excellent in every way. We got an excellent tour of historic Savannah with humor and charm She filled us significant history, fun facts and current affairs. An hour and a half tour is the perfect length. This is my 4th Viator tour including the IS and Europe and they all have been exceptional
