Great orientation - Learned a lot about the area. Our guide, Sarah, answered questions, showed us around a large portion of the historic district and even offered to let us use her umbrella if it rained. We had raincoats but it didn’t rain.

You will be even more excited about Savannah after this tour! - Sarah provided an excellent walking tour - patient, knowledgeable and brimming with helpful facts that she provided at just the right moment. Her style is comfortable, relaxed, helpful, familiar and the energy of the tour keeps it going easily, almost feeding off the energy of the beautiful squares, architecture, trees and plant life, and the vibe that emanates from such a rich historical substrate. Highly recommended!

Knowledgeable and fun!! Sarah is amazing :) - Sarah led our family of five visiting from Chicago on an incredibly fun and informative tour of Savannah! We were blown away by her knowledge of what felt like every inch of the city! She is equal parts intelligent/knowledgeable about all things Savannah as she is enjoyable to be around which makes for the perfect tour guide. Thanks so much Sarah!

Sarah is pleasant, patient, passionate, and perspicacious! - There are many Savannah-based tours available online, and I randomly decided upon the History of Savannah Walking Tour with Sarah. Am I glad I did! The tour was just my wife and I that day, so Sarah didn’t make a lot of money from us but still treated us like friends. She led the tour amiably and with tremendous patience when we wanted to stop a snap a picture or read a plaque. Sarah was so incredibly knowledgeable, and as a historian myself, I asked her some deeper level historical questions. Nothing stumped her. She relayed some fascinating stories that you wont' read in a book. The tour was about two hours and I could have gone longer. The walking tour was among our highlights of our trip to the city. I highly recommend Sarah and The History of Savannah Walking Tour. You will not be disappointed. Sarah, you rock!
