Excellent tour on first time in Savanah - Excellent tour. 6 of us on 7/4. Bonnie was fantastic with the pace, her encyclopedic knowledge and demeanor. The historical context Bonnie provided was vivid and tangible. And interspersed with restaurant, shopping and other tour recommendations. Never been to Savanah previously and learned more about Savanah in three hours than I would otherwise in three months living there. Highly recommended tour.

Loved this walking tour of Historic District - Bonnie was so friendly and so knowledgeable about the history of Sanannah and the Georgia colony. A great introduction to the historic district. Loved that we could take a break at the Gallery Expresso for coffee and pastries. Three hours went by so fast. Loved that we could have a guided tour of St. John's Episcopal Church near end of the walk.

Great tour! You can’t go wrong booking this one. - Bonnie’s knowledge of Savannah history is incredible. You are transported back in time as she gives detailed accounts of significant events in Savannah’s long and rich history. The tour is three hours long but offered at a pace that has the time “fly”by. About half way through the tour we had some time to grab a bite to eat and use a bathroom. I highly recommend this particular tour!

The tour focus was somewhat customized to our interests. We really appreciated that! - Good thorough history tour. Enlightening AND informative. Just hotter than heck!😅 Savannah in August! Ms. Bonnie was kind enough to focus on the Colonial and Revolutionary War time period whichy husband thoroughly enjoyed.

A Disgruntled Couple - Informative guide, but not very personable and extremely politically biased interpretation of Savannahs's history. Got the impression she did not want to be there.
