Excellent information and cool stops along the way - Apollo was great! He is so knowledgeable and gave so much background having grown up in Savannah. The tour was super interesting and the bars along the way were great! Lots we would have missed without such a knowledgeable guide.

A good time in Savannah - Leroy was a friendly and knowledgeable guide. He mixed history with tales of crimes, ghosts etc. We started with hot cider and rum and he left us at the Artillery after telling us the history of Artillery Punch

Excellent Experience! - Leroy is a delightful, knowledgeable tour guide. It was just me and 2 friends, so he adapted the tour to our interests. We came away with a great understanding of the founding of Savannah, as well as the Civil War generals and how Savannah survived the war relatively intact. He threw in some good ghost/haunting/ crime stories as well. The first bartender made a wonderful hot mulled cider with rum to start us off, which was a great on a chilly evening! And he dropped us off at a great bar, The Artillery, after telling us the history of Artillery Punch.

Activity postponed - Activity canceled due to weather. Being from Ohio, it didn't seem like enough to cancel, but it all depends on what you're used to. Disappointing, but understandable
