Very informative and fun tour! - This guided tour is very low-key and informative. Plenty of time for questions throughout. You are given an earpiece so you can hear the whole time. Our tour guide, Champ, was really great!

Best civil war tour - Kelse was our guide and he was so knowledgeable. His tour was like having a cup of coffee with an old friend who was telling you about his family. His coverage of the civil war was thought provoking and engaging. He provided perspectives about the war that most history books don’t address. We highly recommend. Last but not least, we could actually hear him, thanks to the remote headsets we all received.

We were with Champ. He... - We were with Champ. He was ok but not as informative as expected. How we could walk by the Jefferson Davis homesite and not mention that but we heard multiple times about the Girl Scouts. He never explained that the center of town where the slaves were auctioned off...but I heard it in another tour yesterday. Just lacked interesting details. Pretty disappointing
