Scott is a historical architecture expert and a super fun guy! - The Wandering Historian Walking Tour was very informative and entertaining! My spouse and I really enjoyed Scott as our guide. He was extremely knowledgeable on architecture, history and preservation...in fact, he has a degree in it! He was also incredibly cool and had a great personality! Also, the walk lasted about two hours and, information-wise, you truly get your money's worth! I've been on about 50 tours and this was one of the best! A+++++++++

Our favorite Savannah tour! - My daughter and I just happened to be the only two people on this particular day's tour, so by default we enjoyed a private tour by Janine. She was a friendly and knowledgeable guide (dressed in full Victorian dress by the way!) on this two hour tour, providing the history and significance of many locations within the Historic District in a very engaging way. We both agreed this was by far our favorite of several tours we took over our long girls' weekend and would highly recommend this tour ~ be sure to request Janine!

History comes alive! - Outstanding tour that we highly recommend! Mr. Kenneth V. Rimes did an excellent job of covering all of Savannah’s storied history. He personifies the southern gentleman and brought water and bug spray for us. He also provided several outstanding recommendations for places to eat and visit during our stay and all were equally as incredible as Kenneth. We will definitely be back and can’t wait to have more insightful discussions with Kenneth on the rich history of Savannah and world events. He is simply one more treasure that Savannah offers its guests and it was a pleasure to meet him and have him as our tour guide. It helped make the trip that much more memorable.
