Wonderful experience and wonderful guide! - We loved our tour guide, any question we could think of he supplied an answer! We learned so much and even in the rain, had a great time! He gave us great suggestions on what else to experience in Savannah and what WOULD be wheelchair friendly for my father.

As a first time visitor... - As a first time visitor to Savannah, Georgia, I found this to be a surprising and very pleasurable tour to start my visit. The tour guide was very personable and very knowledgeable about the homes we saw, the history, and the people of Savannah. He sometimes veered into a dialogue that was more personal opinion than historical fact which I found slightly offputting. I simply continued to askbpertinent and relevant questions to our topic, and that brought him back to more historical and accurate facts. I don’t believe he was trying to be provocative, just part of his personality. I would recommend this tour to others and to friends of mine, but with the caveat of you take what you get with individual the tour guide guides.

Description does not match reality - The description mentioned six houses of which one or two of them we were supposed to go into the house. Unfortunately the tour was completely external in the 90+ degree heat and does not match anything like the description on TripAdvisor - To say I was disappointed id an understatement. I do not advise taking this tour.

Cancelled - Unfortunately the tour was cancelled by the tour guide due to jury duty. I totally understand civic duty but it was frustrating as we could no longer tour the historic homes because we leave before another one is scheduled.
