An Excellent Guided Savannah Tour - We were lucky to have Brad as our tour guide. Also it was a small group so plenty of 1 on 1 interaction. Brad was terrific and gave us lots of time, even past the end time. He is VERY knowledgeable about Savannah history and listening to him was enjoyable. Good advice on places to go after. We will be back to Savannah and we will try to link up with Brad once more.

Like Civil War history?…Take a walk through a soldier’s occupation of Savannah - The tour is very informative for the history buff. Guide was a local , so he knew some added information. Took the time to answer questions, Nicely paced walk. If you have questions, prior to tour he texts quickly. I would highly recommend this tour for any family or person.
