5.00Excellent!! This was our first trip to Savannah so at the suggestion of multiple people I watched the movie just before we left, didn’t have enough time to read the book. Our guide Ryan brought so much more to the tour! He gave inside details about characters and details and from the story, that I have been inspired to read the book! I highly recommend this tour! It was absolutely fantastic!

5.00Our tour guide was great! He has done all the research and has talked to some of the people who were there, including the author. His tour gave us all the fact vs. fiction of the book and movie, took us to some of the actual locations and showed us pictures of many of the characters from the book. If you loved the book or movie, I would definitely take this tour.

5.00This tour was outstanding from start to finish. Ryan is an amazing guide with deep knowledge of Savannah’s history and an exceptional storytelling style that truly brings Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil to life. The tour offered rich details, thoughtful insights, and perfectly chosen locations, making the story feel grounded and immersive. The added historical and movie photos were a fantastic bonus, helping connect the narrative to real people and places. Ryan was also incredibly helpful in navigating Savannah’s squares, something that made the experience even more enjoyable and stress-free. On top of all that, the follow-up messages with recommendations for places to eat and additional sites to see were above and beyond. If you’re even remotely interested in the book, the movie, or Savannah’s layered history, this tour is an absolute must.
