Fun and fact-filled! - We did the "lightly sauced" tour of Savannah's historic downtown and historic beverages. Loved it - got to see a whole other side of the city. Bonnie really knows her stuff and makes it all very accessible. The drinks were great too!

Great tour with a great guide! - Bonnie’s introduction to Savannah’s colorful history was wonderful! She really broke it down for the beginners but had so much more to share in response to questions. The pace was perfect.

Strolling with Bonnie - Bonnie is a great guide with interesting insights into the history and beauty of Historic Savannah. She walks at a very leisurely pace and talks pretty much nonstop. Except when local construction projects out compete her on their noise. Go ahead and take her tour, it’s time and money well spent!

Well worth your time - Tour was very informative and our guide, Bonnie, was excellent. Although it is 3 hours the time did fly by and Bonnie gave us breaks for coffee and bathroom. I would highly recommend.

Bonnie is an amazing Savannah tour guide!!!! - It was a terrific 3 hour tour of Savannah with Bonnie. She was excellent and really has such a comprehensive understanding about the history of Savannah. She took her time to explain everything and answered all of our questions. I would hands down recommend Bonnie to anyone who is looking for an amazing glimpse into Savannah’s history. It definitely is much more personal than the trolley tours as she guides you through the important landmarks of the city.
