Very Knowledgeable Tour Guide - Loved the Civil War History Tour! It was informative and fun. I’m a history nerd, but my husband also enjoyed it. It’s not every tour where you get an actual history professor!! Our guide was also attentive to keeping a good pace, but provided time and shade breaks since the heat and humidity were stifling. I appreciated knowing the events that happened in Savannah, and the homes and buildings where they happened(and where they didn’t!) I highly recommend the walking tour.
