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.

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.

Disappointed - The guide told us she was a sub We spent more time in the parks discussing the trees, then visiting homes We were supposed to end up at the Davenport house museum, which we did not do We only reviewed three or four homes at the most in an hour and a half

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.
