Historic squares of Savannah

Guide was very friendly and had a lot of stories about the founding of Savannah. Enjoyed going to different squares and learning about the people who formed the city. Loved walking along jones st and the old beautiful row homes

Wonderful tour off the beaten track!

We had an amazing tour of Savannah's historic district with Savannah the tour guide! We had already seen some of the area's popular sites on a trolley tour, so it was perfect to walk lovely residential streets and squares we hadn't been to while learning many new details about the city's history and architecture. Thanks to Savannah, the tour was exactly what we were hoping for: informative, fascinating, and off the beaten track. HIGHLY recommend!
