On our first trip to Savannah we did this tour so that we could get a good overview of the town and a good overview of the history of Savanna. Our driver was Andy and he did an amazing job of giving us a history of Savanna as we toured the various areas. He explained each of the squares, the history of the area, and provided it in a chronological order so it was easy to see how the city started and where everyone contributed. The car was comfortable and his driving was smooth and easy. He stopped part way through for a bathroom break and also provided waters. Once we were done with the city we headed out to Bonaventure Cemetery where he proceeded to drive us around and show us the various headstones and gave details about the cemetery. This is a great tour to take the first day you are in Savannah because it gives such a great look into the history of the area and places you may want to return and visit. We went to the Pirate House after our tour to have a drink and see the tunnels that Andy told us about on our tour. Definitely a must do tour.

What a great day! We’ve been going to Savannah for many years but brought some Australian friends to show around. Girls weekend. Andy was early and so patient as we were a bit late to come up as he picked us up at our VRBO. Roomy, comfortable van. Andy was super knowledgeable and nice and very engaging. Was open to customizing the tour as we went along and offered to drop us off where we would like at the end. Highly recommend!
