Bonnie was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and knew not just history but many interesting back stories about the city and the people who made the history.
Michele_C, Feb 2024
Bonnie was great! Very knowledgeable! That’s from 3 History teachers! Not only did she give us the history of Savannah and the architecture, but provided us with suggestions and recommendations that were so helpful for the rest of our trip. We even texted her later after the tour and she provided us with additional information.

Bonnie's prodigious knowledge of Savannah's history, especially of the Revolutionary War and Civil War eras, made the leisurely walk around the historic downtown district enjoyable and educational. Her stories of the characters in those histories helped them to come alive in our imaginations. We enjoyed the coffee shop interlude as well!

Bonnie has researched her material very well and presented a comprehensive history of Savannah rather than fluff which is done on some tours. She transitioned smoothly from one topic to another and took us to a fascinating variety of squares. Bonnie also gave us some great food options which we followed up on. The extra hour allowed her to present material in greater depth.
CARMELA_Q, Dec 2023
Bonnie gave a good history of Savannah. She was knowledgeable about the sites and also gave good tips for shops and restaurants. The tour was 3 hours which is longer than most tours. Good value for the money.
Pam_D, Oct 2023
This was, by far, our favorite part of our visit to Savannah! Our guide was so well informed of people and dates and what happened that it brought it all to life for us. It was truly a fantastic tour.
Olivia_A, Oct 2023
We had an excellent time with Bonnie! She is incredible knowledgable about Savannah and was so nice and easy to talk to! We got to explore so much of the city during this tour. Would definitely recommend!
