This was a very cool tour! We got to see historic buildings that are part of Savannah’s medical history and hear about thair roles, influential people in medicine, plus a nice dose of tea about some of the more colrful characters and scandals. Great fun and great tour from a knowlegeable medical professional..

Relaxing walk through town while listening to some of the medical history of Savannah. He also threw in some other history of Savannah.

I went with my girlfriend and we're giant medical and public health nerds and thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Matthew connected his own experiences as a nurse with the history of Savannah's history. He was extremely friendly and it was a very pleasant morning walking through the historical district as he told stories from across several centuries. My girlfriend was doubtful that a 9:30 AM start time on Saturday for a tour would be worth it...but she raved about it!
