Terrific experience! - Ken is so knowledgeable about the area and the history surrounding the city from founding to current time. He brings warmth, humor and insight into the tours and really highlights significant places with interesting anecdotes. Great as an introduction to the city as well as a deeper understanding of the evolution of the area.

Definitely take this for historical perspective - We did this tour with Ken. His knowledge, enthusiasm and obvious love of Savannah was evident. He encouraged questions and happily answered any we had. His beautiful singing voice added a personal touch to the tour. We did 3 tours while visiting, this one was the best.

Excellent tour guide - Our tour guideKen was waiting for us 5 minutes ahead of schedule. He was extrememy knowledgable about the history of Savannah and had a learned answer to all of our questions. Ken led us through some of the squares, commmenting on the significance of the monuments and homes that we passed in a very unhurried, mannerly way. He couldn't have been more personable and pleasant. We were able to explore on our own the next day based on all we learned from him. Excellent.

A-plus to Ken, the guide - Ken, our guide, was a lovely gentleman who looked and dressed the part of a Southern Gentleman. He shared interesting stories about the history behind several of Savannah's most beautiful historic homes. Being a member of the Wesley Monumental United Methodist church, was able to show us inside that gorgeous structure. A plus is his grade.
