Lots of history - This tour you get tons of accurate History from Pierce who was tour guide. I enjoyed the earpieces that way you could listen to him speak and take pictures of the area. Pierce was helpful to the group that went to wrong spot to meet but they ended up chatting up with us.

Very informative! - The tour guide was very knowledgeable and gave us a good introduction to the history of Savannah. We didn’t enter any of the buildings but we got an overview of many of them so we could decide which buildings to tour later. I learned so many interesting facts about Savannah that I never knew. There were many beautiful buildings - churches, Juliet Lowe house (founder of the Girl Scouts), the Owens-Thomas house and slave quarters, the Mercer house from the bestselling book “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil” and many more! You could stay a week in Savannah and still not see everything. It is a beautiful city. I’m glad the tour guide gave us headphones because there was a lot of background noise and it would have been difficult to hear without them. It would have been helpful if the tour company emailed us some information on how to use the parking meters ahead of time because the meters kept asking for a validation code and we had no idea what they were talking about. We spent about 10 minutes trying to figure out how to pay the parking meter.
