Review of Savannah’s two-hour historic walking tour, with local guides, famous squares, Civil War sites, practical tips, price, and value.
“We have been in Savannah many times before and know the city pretty well. But we had friends from out of town visiting and decided to take a walking tour so they could get the essence of the city’s history. We had an excellent, knowledgeable guide who focused on the history of Savannah with energy and humor. He chose a great sampling of sites to visit.
