Walking was the Way to see Savannah! - What a gem! Dee was so informative and kind! He was patient as we had questions and was able to answer them all. He gave us so much information about the history of so many of the places we passed. He’s also a great photographer 😉

A nice way to find a way around Savannah - Our tour guide, Devane, is very well versed about Savannah. He speaks highly of this pretty and historic city. We learned so much about various famous locals, many of the mansions and historical locations, the 22 squares, the religious houses of worship, the modernization of the area. We were the only 2 on the tour, and his personality was a great fit. We walked for 2 hours, and it went by quickly. The day was a little chilly, but there was a lot of sun. He made sure we were in the sunshine when he would stop to describe a site. We went out and bought the book he recommended, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.
It was well worth it to introduce ourselves to Savannah through our guide.
