Private Tour of Savannah Square - Arthur was amazing as our private tour guide! He stayed fully engaged with all five of us and was very knowledgeable. Arthur was a gentlemen and even gave his jacket to one of us when it was cold. Learning about the squares was fascinating. We highly recommend Arthur as a guide.

Solid walking tour of Savannah - KT was knowledgeable both of the history of Savannah and of where we could get a drink that night. Walking tour was at a good pace and called out a number of historic spots. The root beer float halfway through was icing on the cake. KT was an excellent guide for a Savannah first timer and would highly recommend her!
