This was a very informative tour about the towns history. Donny was a terrific guide. However, the tour had nothing to do with the civil war. He talked about it for maybe 3 minutes of the 2 hour tour. So I was just a little confused why it was titled a civil war walking tour. It was really a Savannah history tour which is fine but the the title was misleading.
We had 12 in group which was about double what would be effective from hearing and multiple questions that guide felt obliged to answer. Tour was slow and not as informative with very little about civil war.
Our guide was excellent although I was a little disappointed in that there wasn't enough Civil War history on this tour but it might have been because there isn't really that much actual Civil War history in Savannah. The City is full of history of pirates, various occupations and slavery that the Civil War becomes a small part of what has actually taken place in Savannah. Thank you General Sherman for sparing this beautiful City. This is a great walking tour loaded with historical details. Mary, Mike, Ann and Clay
Wonderful walk through scenic old Savannah seeing many old structures from the original making of the city.
Brad was terrific. He knew his stuff. Favorite visit was to the Pink House. Only complaint that I have is The Savannah Walks does not get back to you. I made 6 calls and left messages before anyone contacted me while I was there in Savannah. Someone must work these phones more diligently.
This tour was amazing!
