5.00We are so glad we booked this tour! We had already done the hop-on/hop-off, so we weren't sure if this would be too repetitive but it ended up being a huge upgrade! Sarah was an incredibly knowledgeable and engaging tour guide. Our family ended up being the only group on the tour and we learned so much. Savannah is a beautiful place full of rich history, which we only learned because of this tour. We all really enjoyed this - even the two kids. Highly recommend!
Great Tour! Definitely worth it!

5.00Tour guide was knowledgeable and interesting. Such an enjoyable experience. We saw all of the houses that were described and was told about each one. The tour guide even gave us some additional "spooky tales" .
Great experience!
