A great tour our thanks to our guide! - Our tour guide was excellent and gave a ton of information. He definitely knew the story and shared a lot of information that we were unaware of. I appreciate the fact that he let us know the Mercer Williams home can possibly be going residential, so my friend and I went on and toured the home while it’s still available. We enjoyed all of our tour and realized we chose the best one! Thank you

Would do the tour again - We had a wonderful time on our tour. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and they even brought magazine clippings from the events surrounding the movie. If you get a chance to go don't miss out!

Behind The Story Told - It was quite interesting hearing the "behind the scenes" details and nuances of the writer, characters portrayed, the people who came to Savannah to bring the story alive, as well as the actors that played them.

Fun tour! - This was a very informative & interesting tour! Brad did a great job and was very knowledgeable about the book and movie which was beneficial to us since we were big fans. Lovely walk around Savannah's beautiful gardens and quaint streets admiring the architecture.

Hardly saw things from the book - It was disappointing that this tour did not go into the Mercer-Williams house. It would be nice to know ahead of time. I know it’s going to be a private residence again soon, but did not know that it wouldn’t include the house at the time of booking. It also didn’t include the club where Lady Chablis performed. For the few things we saw, I could have probably done this tour on my own with a little bit of research.

Theives - We were on a short time scheduled vacation from Illinois. They called the evening before to tell us the tour guide could not make it and they rescheduled the tour for the next day. That day coincided with our schedule so I informed the we could not make that as we would be leaving that evening and asked for my $90 back. I have yet to receive my refund!!!

Guide sick. No refund. Ghosted - Got a text from Brad who says he’s the owner. Guide has Covid. I couldn’t go a different day, so Brad says a refund will be processed. It’s been over 2 weeks and no refund. And now he’s not responding to my texts. Sad that someone in the service industry would need $30 so bad that they’d steal. Obviously I can’t tell you what this tour is like. But I wouldn’t give my money knowingly to someone this dishonest and who’s such a poor businessman.
