A really nice tour with an even better guide of an awesome town! Highly recommended!
The guide TC is a terrific story teller. Keeps it exciting and uses multi-media to embellish his narrative. It was a fun walk.
We had a wonderful morning strolling the streets and squares of Savannah. Our tour guide was smart and funny, keeping us thoroughly entertained. We left with a better understanding of the city's history, people and culture. We have been taking Viator tours in each city we have visited, both in the US and abroad, throughout 2017 and have benefited greatly. It is a perfect way to quickly understand each place we have visited and then hone in on what we want to explore further.
Great way to see and get to know about Savannah! TC was a wonderful guideand guy. Enthusiastic, knowledgable, and a wonderful presenter.
Enjoyed this leisurely stroll through Savannah with TC. He was knowledgeable and mixed appropriate humor in with historical facts. The pace was pleasant and my in laws had little difficulty keeping up even with minor mobility issues. I would definitely recommend this tour with TC.
