Amazing tour of Savannah! This is a small group tour (we had 2 others with us) which was great, the small group allowed us to chat with our guide and ask questions as the tour went along. It’s also very convenient that the company arranges everything such as dinner and the boat cruise, it made for a very relaxing and stress-free evening. The vehicle was also nice, clean and specious. Highly recommend this tour!

My friend and I just LOVED this walking tour. It was worth SO much more than what we paid. Brad was a very interesting guide. It was so interesting to learn some little known facts about the characters in the story and the filming of the movie. Thank you, thank you!!

I bought the 2 day pass. The first day we used it to get an overview of the city and the second day we hopped on and off. It was great!

For a fun orientation of this historic city, the trolley can’t be beat.

Always good to laugh - that you will with the Moron Twins!
