5.00Dan was fantastic! We took the 9:30 tour which was a small group and well organized. Dan was our guide and he was an exceptional storyteller. He was very personable, funny, informative and just all around we had a great experience. *grab a walking drink at six pence pub just off the square too*

5.00We had a fantastic time. Walking is definitely the way to go vs. a bus tour. It is a great way to see all the amazing squares in historic Savannah and learn some interesting history. The ghost stories are fun and fascinating. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, funny and a vreat story teller

5.00Kilby was the perfect guide. She was funny, informative, and a great story teller. I loved the history and architecture of all the buildings on the tour. My 18 and 25 year old kids loved it too! A must do for a deeper appreciation of Savannah.

5.00If I remember correctly, our tour guide was Dan. He was incredible! My family and I have done numerous guided tours around the world and the guide makes such a huge impact on the quality of the experience. Dan was perfect! He dressed the part and presented great information in an entertaining way. He would have been a fantastic history teacher. So glad we had this experience! My 11-year-old even loved it.
Highly recommend.

One of the best tours we've ever been on!

5.00Dan was one of the best tour guides we've ever had on any tour. He didn't race and walked us through all of the historic district of Savannah as he told us not just about the ghosts but about the history. Including deaths during the civil war and yellow fever. He was funny, considerate and took the time to answer questions and explain everything. And for those who like spooky, he was able to fill our imaginations with a lot of ghost tales from the area. An absolute must and one of the best tours that we've been on in any state throughout our lives. That's a pretty impressive feat! A great way to slow down and learn about Savannah from a very different perspective.
Phenomenal tour! Great...
