Informative, Engaging, and Must Experience! - This is the best tour in town! Sistah Patt was joined by Sistah Roz and the tour was exceptionally informative and deeply moving. My family and I travel to Savannah often and we have done so many of the tours, which are fun) but this one is BY FAR superior. We learned a lot of history and events that are simply left out of other tours.

Walking History!!!! - Sister Patty (praying the name is correct) is an historical manuscript walking! What an outstanding experience. The only thing that I wish is that we had walked certain area more versus remaining on the bus. Otherwise, I learned a volume of history and pertinent current events from Sister Patty. Bravo to her and the very nice bus driver!

“Truth Be Told” - Ms Pat is a wonderful orator, her knowledge on the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade was so enlightening she is a God send. I wish it was even longer I’m planning to return soon to take another of Ms.Pat’s tours.
