Fantastic tour and guide, Dennis! - This tour was fantastic and the guide, Dennis is the best tour guide you can get. I learned so much and walked away with great experiences and a fond love of Savannah I wouldn’t have had I not done this tour.

Beautiful View, Great Stories, and Delicious Food - We didn’t rent a car this trip, so we jumped on an opportunity to see both Bonaventure Cemetery and Wormsloe! Tim was a fantastic guide with so many fun and interesting stories! We ate at Erica Davis Low country and the food was amazing! We also enjoyed Byrd’s cookies! Definitely recommend! The tour did run a little longer than expected so be sure to give yourself some extra time.

History, Legends, and Cookies! - This was a fantastic tour and my wife & I really enjoyed this experience. Heather was a great guide for us, even if she did almost step on a copperhead! Her historical knowledge was fantastic and really made both the Cemetery and Wormsloe come to life. Byrds cookies at the end was a great treat.

Combo Tour - Cemetery/Plantation - It’s an all day tour so make late dinner plans. There was more walking involved than I anticipated which allowed us to see more of Wormsloe than maybe some other group tours.

Great day! - This is a tour with walking intervals. It is not a strenuous walk but more of a stroll through beautiful countryside. Very interesting and well worth the time.

It ended up being closer... - It ended up being closer to 7 hours. The historical facts were few and far between. There was also about a 20 minute detour to look at houses on the Isle of Hope that didn't appear to have any real significance other than they were big houses.
