What a great walking adventure. Ed was just the right person for the tour - he was very knowledgeable and his architecture background allowed him to point out wonderful tidbits about the architecture and monuments of the old city.
Excellent time..what better than bringing a city alive by a former city architect/engineer. Knows where every thing/one hides! Only wish it had been an entire day!
This tour was amazing!
Competent and entertaining guide on our stroll through the parks and city. If you have an interest in history and architecture, this is for you !
We had never been to Savannah before and this tour was very informative. We learned so much about the history of Savannah and the surrounding area, all the while getting to see the beauty of the city and it's historic buildings. We would highly recommend this tour.
We had a great tour. Ed was so knowledgeable about the city. My husband is in real estate and Ed's know-how about how the city developed and is still developing was fantastic. He's the best!
