Bonnie, the Best Guide - Bonnie was the perfect guide, extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and humorous. We learned so much about the history and architecture of Savannah. The tour was nicely paced and was 6 hours. She pointed out house tours, museums, cafes, sweet shops, and restaurants that she recommended for our exploration on our own.

Good pace, lots of details - Bonnie was a great guide full of detailed descriptions. She is a real history buff. The pace was excellent and we had a nice break mid way. We saw many sights and heard detailed accounts of what took place. I wish we could have covered a bit more ground and and heard more stories.
