Very historical and interesting hearing about the civil war.
They should inform you that you don't meet at the address they give you, but in the park across the street.
Guide was wonderful.

Our guide, Champ, was exceptional! His take on Savannah, its heroes and other occupants was extraordinary. We were moved to tears at more than one description that made people long gone so completely present. Gosh, we felt so fortunate to have a guide and native of this character. Thank you for an intimate and memorable tour we will never forget
