5.00So we went to Savannah with TS Debby approaching and had scheduled two tours, the first of which (this one) had to be cancelled due to weather - BUT - Sargon reached out and combined the Rising Voices and the 101 tours for us later in the week. I've now done all three of Sargon's tours - one twice - and have come away having had a terrific tour, a great experience, and learned new things. Highly recommend.
Wonderful tour of Savannah

5.00Great tour!! This was the first thing we did when we visited Savannah and what a great way to kick off an amazing long weekend visit. Sargon, our tour guide, was deeply knowledgable and enthusiastic about the history of Savannah. We learned so much about Savannah's deep and interesting past from Colonial times to the Civil War and through the Civil rights movement. If you want a compehensive, interesting and fun tour that is deep in history and the sites of Historic Dowentown Savannah I highly recommend this tour.
