Lots of fun and very informational - Zack was our guide and he did a great job explaining the details of all the historical sites. There was quite a bit of walking involved and Zack was very patient and waited at each site until we all got there.

Fun and informative guided tour - Great walking tour! Our guide Zack was very informative about the history of Savannah during the time before and during the Civil War. Not a strenuous walk, many stopping points and great photo spots. Make sure to get your guide a Corona when you stop at the bar/restaurant 😊 I highly recommend this tour!
