“Midnight in the garden of Good and Evil” tour - My husband and I enjoyed how informative our guide Brad was. Learned so much about Savannah and the history of many prominent residents. He also had great photographs with very interesting storylines of the characters in the movie. Worth every penny.
One of our favorite tours!

Interesting and fun tour - Our tour guide was very knowledgeable! You have to have read the book to understand the tour. Our tour guide seemed to have a personal relationship with the characters in the book which made it so much more interesting.

“Midnight” fans — this tour is a MUST! - Fabulous tour full of behind the scenes tidbits and history. Best enjoyed if you have already either read the book or seen the movie. Tour is all walking and you stop at several “landmarks” from the book and movie where “insider” info is shared, which also gives more detailed context to the story and what was happening not only in the original story but also in the making of the movie. If you are a fan of this story, this is a “must do” tour.

Our guide did a great job narrating the tour, engaging us along the way. - We enjoyed walking through parks, experiencing scenery/architecture depicted in the book.
We especially liked interacting with our guide as he had a great way of bringing us into dialogue, asking questions and reminding us if we forgot details. He was great. I apologize to have forgotten his name.

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.

The tour was canceled due to guide being sick. - Unfortunately, our guide got covid and we were unable to go on the tour. They offered us a different time but we already had other events scheduled. I hope the guide gets better soon.
