Wonderful historic walking tour!
We recently did this tour with our young adult kids and their grandparents and everyone really enjoyed it. Julianna was a great tour guide. Her passion for Savannah and history really shone through and drew you into her storytelling. She also gave us some great recommendations for food after the tour, and they were a hit with our entire family as well. Walking pace was not too fast, and you really got to soak up Savannah's atmosphere. This is a must do tour!
