Knowledgeable and fun! - Wonderful! Ask for Jonita Aadland (and no, that’s not a misprint). She was lovely and bursting with interesting tidbits along with a solid historical background about Savannah. We had a small group; just my husband, myself and another couple who had also booked.

Best History Tour in Savannah! - Jonita is an expert guide! Fun, Friendly, History expert. This was a well-paced two hour walking tour. On our first visit to Savannah we learned so much and had fun learning about the background of this beautiful city. We toured Savannah with our college-age daughter. There were less than 20 people on the tour total. Jonita is a long time resident of the city, a fiddle player and fantastic guide. If you do one tour choose this one!

Wonderful History Tour - The Wandering Historians tour was great! Jonita was wonderful – so much fun! She was very knowledgeable about Savannah and its history. Savannah’s actual history is just as interesting as its ghost history.

Fantastic Experience; Fantastic Tour Guide - Knowing we only had one day in Savannah, we decided a guided tour was the way to go. Our tour guide Jonita was extremely knowledgeable. In addition to her wealth of knowledge, she was enthusiastic and very much in love with everything Savannah. What this translated into for us, was an experience that brought the history of the city to life in living color. I would recommend this tour and Jonita to everyone.

Interesting intro to a... - Interesting intro to a history-rich, beautiful vintage town! Knowledgeable, friendly guide with a lot of fun stories and “gossip”. Lots of good information- wish I had better memory! Couple of suggestions… Starting the tour - quick intros from the tourers… Name Where from? how long in town? First time I’m Savannah? Handouts - for example… - Map(s) - History timeline(s) - Summary info- e.g. Key players in history with mini-blurbs on their contributions THX!
