Great tour - This tour was a great thing to do when we got to Savannah, gave us a little bit of history on the area and got us directed as to where we wanted to do and what else we wanted to see. Zack was personable, knowledgeable and funny- kept us all laughing

Savannah with teenagers - Great family trip, good amount of things for teens, not really for small children. Lots of history, art, shopping. Really great that you can walk anywhere in the city. Night life is fun too, lots of restaurants & bars. Definitely more for couples or families with teens. Ghost tours are great, lots of shopping. Definitely overpriced but as expected. Vic’s was not worth the hype or price at all, but the Candy kitchens, ice cream & gelato shops, wings at Wet Willie’s definitely made up for it! Didn’t do the riverboat tours as so many reviews said they weren’t worth the price & food wasn’t great. The trolleys are a great option for anyone in your group unable to walk long distances. Riverfront view is definitely worth it! Overall amazing trip & we will be back!
