Chris, our tour guide, was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about Savannah history. We walked through several of Savannah's picturesque squares while Chris told us about the people commemorated in the monuments and the notable houses around the squares. He was also a good source of recommendations for lunch after our tour! Would highly recommend this tour company.
