MUST DO - Great tour! Our tour guide, Noble Jones, was excellent. He is very informative and his tone of voice is pleasant. The entire tour was well planned out including a water and bathroom break. I recommend the 9:30 am tour. The weather is perfect and the streets aren’t as crowded at that hour. This tour is a must do in Savannah.

Outstanding Tour Guide - Our tour guide Savannah (yes, that’s her real name) was EXCELLENT. Great verbal skills, exceptional story telling that brought the city and its nuances to life. A true professional. The South Historic District is everything you would hope Savannah to be. Beautifully surrounded by trees and loaded with 12 different public squares along three north south roads (Bull Street is the best). Peaceful, low traffic and EVERY motorist stops for pedestrians all the time. A lovely walking experience. I would suggest staying in the South Historic district to the North of Forsyth Park on Bull or Abercorn. Avoid Dayton. Also would avoid staying in the North Historic District as it’s noisy with traffic and devoid of any real charm. Lots of big hotels and riverfront bars and restaurants there for a dinner, but staying there would be like staying in any small city on a river anywhere in the US.

Serving a higher good - The guide, Champ Kleeman provided lots of interesting history that I later shared with family. His stories revealed historic, praise worthy individuals who can inspire us today with their nobility. We Americans need to be reminded of admirable leaders and how they serve us all.
