Really high quality tours! - We did the cemetery tour and came back for. Ore the second day. Wayne was a great tour guide. He’s a former HS history teacher and his knowledge and storytelling skill reflect this. Very high quality operator of tours.

History comes alive. - Wes was an exceptional tour guide. His knowledge and ability to share his passion for
the history of Savannah made for a very engaging tour. We covered a lot of ground but Wes was considerate of our comfort. We heartily recommend for history buffs and novices alike.

History Buff walking tour - We did the history buff tour with Wesley as our tour guide. What a fun morning! Wesley was very knowledgeable about the history of Savannah and how it came to be. He gave us lots of extra little tidbits that I don’t think we would have learned from another tour guide. We had a beautiful morning in Savannah walking through the beautiful squares and seeing the sights. Highly recommend Wise Guys Tours!

Awesome Experience- personalized and informative - I taken several tours in Savannah and this was one of my favorite because the tour guide was so flexible and cognizant of the groups needs. I took this tour with a group of co-workers. Wes, the guide, tailored the tour based on the groups interests and even let us stop to get a drink. The owner even stopped by to introduce himself and tell us about how he started the company!
