Historic Homes Tour - The guide grew up in Savannah and was very knowledgeable. He was able to share first hand knowledge of how the city has changed over the past 50 years. We saw easily overlooked homes and learned the history behind them. This tour gave us an opportunity to learn Savannah’s development as a colony and hiw it became what it is today.

Loved it! - Amazing!! Mr. Spinks knows everything and he is a great teacher. It was a wonderful and enlightening experience. I would definitely do it again. Sidenote: you don't actually go inside of the homes.

Great info for architectural and preservation enthusiasts - Our guide Brad was knowledgeable and quickly amended the tour to include information that guests were requesting. He clearly was only scratching the surface of his knowledge of the city and it's homes, as well as the policies of the historical preservation committee. It was nice hearing the stories from a native of Savannah and seeing the city through his eyes. Highly recommend this tour as a way to learn more about the architecture and preservation of the homes of this beautiful city.

Great Tour! - Me and my parents had so much fun on this walk! Not only did we learn about the buildings’ history and a brief overview of the architecture, but the guide was nice enough to give us food recommendations and point us towards other fun and educational activities.
