Super interesting and a... - Super interesting and a very knowledgeable tour guide. We saw the entire historic district and learned so much. There was a lot of walking (which we love) but some people in the group got pretty tired.

Tour with Someone Who Knows - This Civil War tour was exactly what I wanted. No silly ghost stories or made up facts. Just straight up history delivered by a very knowledgeable and approachable tour guide. He was able to answer any and all questions and was open to hearing and learning from the wealth of knowledgeable people on the tour. Civil War aficionados take their studies seriously. I think that is one of the most important points that drew me to this tour. It is obvious that our guide did his own homework and didn’t rely on a ready made script. The tour covers quite a few blocks around Savannah , so be prepared to walk. Comfy shoes are a must . Water and appropriate weather gear is a plus as well.
