Our tour guide was informative & had some neat stories to tell...Fun tour w/ great history. Nice to see some of the local pubs & stop for drinks along the way! I would recommend this tour for small groups.

I like to ghost hunt but I also like obscure facts about the reality of the people who founded Savannah and what they lived through. If it wasn’t for my tour guide, Neil, I probably wouldn’t have learned what I learned about the inventor of the cotton gin or James Oglethorpe and friends.

Two hour walking tour that almost lasted three! Our guide Kerry was really knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the city especially the part that usually does not make it to the textbooks. Half the group has encouraged him to write a book himself ;) If you are interested about the (side) characters (mostly unknown) history, this is definitely for you.

This tour was the best of all the ghost tours on a Friday night! The entire tour was 1.5 miles and we hit at least 6 historic and “haunted” homes and landmarks. Our guide was very knowledgeable/funny and our group was so much smaller than the others so we could easily weave past the larger groups going past some of the more popular sights (the graveyard). Highly recommend!

The heat was no joke, but the tour was totally worth braving the weather for. Kerry did a fantastic job speaking and showing us all the sites during this tour. I highly recommend if you're in Savannah, GA. Thank you again Kerry!

Kerry's depth of knowledge and understanding of Savannah is amazing. No question stumped Kerry and getting the truth behind the plaques and official history was delicious.

Enjoyed the hidden history. Kerry was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The 10:30 start time made it possible to get to Savannah and find parking.

Great walking history tour of Savannah! We were the only people on a Wednesday morning so it was nice having a personal guide! Kerry was very informative and knowledgeable about the area.

Kerry was a phenomenal guide! A self-proclaimed history nerd, he has done the work of researching original letters written by founding members of the Savannah community. This tour provides history you won’t find on other tours. Kerry takes pride in offering interesting facts from Savannah’s early days, not just popular folklore frequently passed down to sell more tour tickets. His enthusiasm, kindness & humor permeate the entire experience. He was also excellent with communication leading up to the tour, and offers to help with directions to your next destination afterwards. Most certainly one of the best ways to spend a couple of hours in Savannah!
