Wonderful Time Spent - Absolutely a wonderful tour, very informative. Our tour guide, Brad, was very knowledgeable and shared many poignant stories and details of Savannah, its history, and many of the beautiful homes in the historic district. Highly recommend.

A taste of Savannah that will always stay with you! - A great way to put the history behind what you can see and smell. Outstanding tour guide with a great flair for the history and tying everything together for the “now”. Detailed explanations of the history leading up to the colonization and building of the area. Including all social and cultural nuances.

Ghost walking tour. - We had a fun night learning about the gory history of Savannah. Our guide was former military and a former Savannah Police Officer. The tour was factual and fun. The hand held devices provided feedback (if you believe this type of thing) about the potential of ghost auras in certain areas. It certainly felt different in these places. Fun night! Appreciated the safety reminder about the area as a visitor.

Tour of buildings, not only homes - Guide was very knowledgeable but this was really a tour of historic buildings and homes. He spent a lot of time at each stop, it could have moved a little more quickly and taken in more.

Historic Homes - Knowledgeable guide. Good overview of a number of homes. Description of tour says we would be given a voucher for the Davenport House. However no voucher was offered or given.

They Cancelled the Tour; no refund received after 4 attempts and 7 weeks - The tour was cancelled the day before it was scheduled (Feb 20). We were told by Brad the guide had jury duty. Brad tried to schedule for the following day but we were leaving town. He said we would get a refund. As you can see, it being April 10, we have not received a refund even after contacting Brad 4 times. He has said the the seller is in Berlin and it takes 7-10 business days; he has said they do not issue refunds to those who leave unwarranted negative reviews; I said he could Venmo me the refund himself but nothing so far. Unacceptable.
