    Ms. Razz was very passionate, knowledgeable and thorourgh in her presentation. This story must be told. It was good to see tours being inclusive of those who really build this lovely city. I exoected a walking tour that would've put us closer to the scenes for pictures and connection to the history. Our tour was done riding on a bus, but nevertheless less, very enjoyable. Keep doing what you're doing. Excellent!

    Of all the things we got to see and do on our trip to Savannah, we valued this tour the most. Sistah Roz is an amazing, compelling storyteller, and these stories need to be told. We learned so much from her. It's mind-blowing how Savannah is still struggling to come to terms with its difficult history of slavery. We absolutely recommend this tour!

    This tour was the highlight of our trip to Savannah. Extremely valuable information. Priceless. Sister Rozz and Brother Robert captivated us with their knowledge of Savannah‘s history of slavery and the countless significant events that far too few people are aware of. We learned so much. I could see my children’s eyes opening. Inspiring, motivating, life changing. I highly recommend!!!

    This tour was so touching and coherent from the start to the end by this magnificent storyteller Sister Razz ! Every facts she said felt like a liberation of a story that MUST been told. As a responsible society we should nurture these type of information and encourage the new generations to know about it. It’s been a long time I never had such a meaningful experience while learning and discovering history. Thank you Sister Razz and to your team.
