Sister Pat can sure tell a story - Sister Pat was so knowledgeable and is a lawyer and activist. Got a lot for our money. Tour ran nearly 3.5 hours. Due to temperature, mostly on a bus.

A Savannah “must do” ! - She is engaging and knowledgeable and so passionate. She is a compassionate storyteller and you can feel her love for the community. She was able to weave the past, present and future together. Light and heavy moments throughout. It was a wonderful tour.

Ms. Pat is such an... - Sister Pat is such an awesome "Truth Teller". She is very knowledgeable of history and a great educator of African American History. She spoke about the slave trade and showed us where it happened, the Whispering (Spanish) Oak trees, the symbols that were displayed throughout Savannah representing African tribes. I would HIGHLY recommend this experience for both young and old, black, brown, white, yellow all who has an ear to hear! Definitely would book this experience again!

Truth Telling at its finest. - The knowledge of Sister Roz was exceptional. She knows Savannah, the good and the bad. Recommended for all ages. This tour helps to understand slave times and to know the African American culture is still struggling.
