Fun historical civil war tour of Savannah - This was an amazing tour. Will was an excellent personable tour guide with sone funny anecdotes and lots of historical info about Savannah. Even though this eas billed a civil war tour there was little to no fighting in Savannah during the civil war. Will was a wonderful tour guide who gave us tons of info about current and past geography of Savannah. He wrnt above and beyond our expectations, even extending our tour a bit. He made food recommendations and other sightseeing recommendations which was truly appreciated. Highly recommend this tour.

Savannah’s absolute best! - This is a don’t miss! Of all our Savannah tours, this was the absolute best. Mike was our tour guide and knew so much he sounded like a college professor—dates, background, political climate, military strategy, economics, major players, and on and on. He gives ample time for questions and follow up. He gives time for rest breaks and cool-off places under the trees. He starts and finishes on time. You can’t go wrong (and we’re a pretty tough crowd to please).

Interesting history - We were a group of eight, very interested in history. Brad was full of knowledge and we learned so much. He answered our questions thoroughly. He was easy to hear and understand. The pace of the tour was perfect. He gave suggestions of areas to revisit to dig deeper. We would recommend this tour without hesitation.
