What To Expect

Reynolds Square is where you'll meet your guide to kick off your walking tour of Savannah, nicknamed the Garden City or Hostess City of the South. In this square, you'll find some of the most interesting historic buildings in the city, as it was the center of colonial government in the 1700s.

Great tour

Lori_P, Apr 2024

This tour was a great thing to do when we got to Savannah, gave us a little bit of history on the area and got us directed as to where we wanted to do and what else we wanted to see. Zack was personable, knowledgeable and funny- kept us all laughing

Tour cancelled

Leslie_B, Apr 2024

Unable to rate as the tour time was changed and we had a conflict. Understand things come up. Took the trolley tour instead which was fun.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

We had to change the tour time due to severe weather. We tried our best to work around the guest’s schedule. This isn’t really a review. More of an announcement not in need of a 1 star review.

So much history

Judy_C, Mar 2024

Loved hearing the history of how Savannah grew. Hearing about the different important figures of the time was very interesting.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Thank you so o much for the review! We are delighted to know you enjoyed it!!

Beautiful Savannah

Lisa_C, Dec 2023

Our guide was super knowledgeable and made it fun! He gave us extra time and answered all of our questions! He obviously adores Savannah and shared lots of unexpected things.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Thank you so much for the review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the tour!!

This is worth it!

Cynthia_C, Nov 2023

Brad was a terrific guide. Great info on Savannah’shistory. He was well organized, interesting and funny.

Thank you so much for the review. You made his day!!

Great afternoon of history!

My daughter and I loved our tour. Our guide, Brad, was so knowledgeable and shared so much Savannah history with a good sense of humor and interesting stories. I highly recommend!

Very knowledgeable guide . Entertaining. Would recommend Brad to others visiting the area. Did an excellent job teaching us the local history.

We’re glad you enjoyed the tour. Thank you for the review.

Terrible experience

Sheryl_R, Apr 2023

Tour started late ...tour guide we were supposed to have was ill...got a substitute but supposed to have done this for 15 years. She was hard to hear....rambled on.....there were 12 of us in the group...by half way through we were down to 6...the others walked away....a few minutes later 2 more left....we were supposed to start and finish at the same point ....she finished the tour somewhere far from the starting point...we had to hire a cab to get us back to our hotel because we had no idea how to get back. We have booked several tours through Viator...all went well except for this one. Not very happy with the wasted time and money!

Response from Host, Apr 2023

We are terribly sorry you didn’t enjoy your experience. Your scheduled guide was out sick but you didn’t receive a substitute guide. Your guide has 20 years experience giving tours in Savannah. After speaking with some of the other guests, we were informed that they were not leaving the tour because they were bored or unhappy but because they wanted to get to their Riverboat tour early and wanted to stop for a restroom break. Sometimes, guests get so concerned with what other guests are doing that they fail to enjoy a tour themselves! The tour never ends at the starting location due to redundancy. The tour always ends in Chippewa Square and your guide gave you very easy instructions for a 10 minute walk back to the meeting location. She would have gladly escorted you back to the meeting location herself had you asked!

Disappointed

rosar, Apr 2023

We were looking forward to this tour and learning more about Savannah. Unfortunately, what we got was a guide that was not knowledgeable about the city. A guide who was confused about her facts and one that gave very vague details.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

If you are new to Savannah and looking forward to this tour, how would you know your guide was not knowledgeable about the city? Our guides have a minimum of 15 years experience giving tours in Savannah and are anything but confused.

Use another company

Robert_B, Apr 2023

Over thirty people on tour, could not hear the guide. The guide constantly got off subject making personal political positions. At least 10 people left the tour before it finished. A complete waste of time and money. Strongly recommend another company.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

You signed up for the history and civil war tour. The most coveted walking tour reservation in Savannah, and on a holiday weekend. The tour you took not only covers the history of Savannah but also the strategies used in the Civil War and the political positions of the south at that time. Can’t you just be tolerant and enjoy the tour? It just isn’t necessary to get offended by everything.

This must be a very small company that doesn’t have back up your guides . I was disappointed but understand that employe

Donna_D, Feb 2023

You company cancelled my reservation Received notification that tour guide was sick and couldn’t mage it

Response from Host, Feb 2023

The guide came in to give your tour but had obvious flu symptoms including a fever so close to your tour time that there wasn’t time to call in a replacement guide before your tour was to start. We didn’t want to send you out with a sick guide: We explained this to you and you indicated that you understood. We offered you an alternate tour time and even offered complimentary tour vouchers which you quickly turned down. The miss spelled words and incomplete sentences in your review suggest to me that you just want to be angry.

Book it!

Alana_W, Jan 2023

Wonderful and informative tour about the history of Savannah! Our guide was so knowledgeable and fun to walk with. Would definitely recommend as the best history tour around Savannah!

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Thank you so much for the review! Giving your tour was a pleasure! I hope you’ll come back and visit again!!!

Experienced and well...

Patricia_G, Jan 2023

Experienced and well qualified guide gave an abundance of history and many interesting anecdotes. We missed the cathedral but will catch that next time in Savannah!

Excellent tour!!

Angela_F, Jan 2023

I did the trolley tour once, which is good for learning the layout of the city, but absolutely cannot compare to this walking tour! Bill is a wealth of knowledge and shared so many unique stories and secrets of Savannah with us. As a Savannah native, he knows it all!

A great history tour of Savannah

Brian_M, Jan 2023

An excellent guide who really knew his stuff and was still very personable in sharing it with all of us. He did well with our group that included a number of families with strollers. We walked at a comfortable "stroll pace" and learned a lot about the history and people of Savannah.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Thank you so much for the review! We try hard to make the experience enjoyable for all ages! We certainly hope you’ll have the opportunity to visit Savannah again!!!

Brad was the best guide...

Ashley_B, Dec 2022

Brad was the best guide and gave us so many insights into the city’s history! We had so much fun on this tour and plan on doing it on every trip we take!

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Oh goodness! Thank you for the kind review! it’s experiences like yours that have kept me doing this for 25 years!!

Our guide was informative...

Joseph_F, Oct 2022

Our guide was informative and entertaining! He was able to answer questions about the history of Savannah that were off script.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Thank you for the review! We are delighted to hear you had a great time! Experiences like yours make it all worthwhile!

A pleasant way to spend a couple of hours learning!

Denise_N, Sep 2022

Most interesting. More history than we'd realised. Our guide made it all worth listening to. Would recommend this to anyone who enjoys walking and history. .

Great tour!
