Fabulous!

Rodney was a great Civil War tour guide. We discovered so much more about Savannah and the Civil War than we would have on my own! Highly recommend him and the experience!

Susan’s Tour

Ask a lot of questions! The tour guide was very knowledgeable. Bring a lot of water. There were times where you could sit for a few while the guide talked and a place for a bathroom stop half way through. Also, lots of info about the plants along the way.

I would recommend this tour

Our guide was a professor of Civil War history and was very informative. We enjoyed the tour very much! Explained things in easy to understand terms and answered all questions.

Take this tour!

I LOVED this tour! My parents were with me, and one has a hearing impairment- this was completely ameliorated by the earpiece issued to each participant. From this tour, we sought other experiences, loving each one- the Mercer House, the Six Pence Pub, and an amazing bookstore, E. Shavers Booksellers…all because of our guide! I can’t say enough about our guide! Amazing☺️

Great historical tour

Rodney was such an amazing guide and really brought the Civil War history of Savannah to life! He’s a professor (lucky students!) who shared so many fascinating stories.
