Best tour in Savannah! Wonderful guide! - This tour was the highlight of our trip to Savannah. My mom (age 78) and I did the 10 am tour with Tim. We were picked up promptly near our Airbnb just before 10 am. Tim was a great guide, very friendly and knowledgeable. The walking tour (approx 1.5 miles, mostly flat - with a few tree roots here and there) of the cemetery was excellent. You can tell how invested Tim is in his business by his attention to details (kindly offering water bottles or bathroom breaks to guests) and answering all our questions. He has great respect for the cemetery and the graves and shared stories about the families that were factual and accurate. Upon the conclusion of the tour Tim kindly dropped guests off at locations of their choice (we chose River St so we could have lunch near the water). I highly recommend taking this tour and supporting this dedicated, Savannah-born, local tour company.

Great historical tour w someone who knows the cemetery. - Excellent communication from reservations to pick up. We picked this tour because we didn’t have a car. Pick up location clearly articulated in a text photo and was located across from our hotel. He was on time with very comfortable van/tour mobile. He answered the phone and sent texts. Gave a wonderful local account of Savannah history as we drove to the cemetery, pointing out neighborhoods etc. Once in the cemetery we spent easily over two hours walking around. He was a straight talker and didn’t get into fanciful ghost talks. He was knowledgeable about the cemetery and best areas to visit to avoid working crews. He gave the tour a local touch and really knows the history not the BS. We could have gotten there and walked around by ourselves or taken golf cart tour but wouldn’t have gotten half out it without his knowledge. He took questions and made everyone feel comfortable. He has a great background in history. We’ve been on other cemetary tours in other places and he’s knowledgeable about them as well.

A must do in Savannah and Tim is an Excellent guide! - One of the most knowledgeable tour guides we've had anywhere, and we've had dozens. He was able to add personal experiences to the history that he was so well versed in, having grown up in the area. It was entertaining and interesting from the very convenient pickup at our hotel to the full 2 hours in the cemetery. I give my highest recommendation to Tim. He's a one man show so you know you're going to get the quality you sign up for.

A walking history book.. - We were met at our hotel on a beautiful day by Tim. Prompt and exactly where he said and when he would be there. We had one other couple that joined us . He was so knowledgeable and we just enjoyed the history and monuments of the cemetery. The stories were wonderful and you get a real understanding of Savannah in the 1800’s… lovely walking your! Highly recommend it!
