Fantastic insight into the world of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. The real, true background as our guide does his research.

Excellent!! 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!
