Pleased with our tour - Great tour with Dennis as our guide. He kept us entertained and informed. It is evident he takes pride in his work. Tour is an excellent way to see the cemetery and plantation grounds as well as surrounding areas of Savannah. Stop for lunch at Erica Davis’s was good and allowed for the right amount of time for everyone to get served without being rushed.

Stories, sights, and cookies! - We LOVED Dennis and the tour. You can tell that Dennis truly loves and enjoys doing these tours and his city's history. He was full of information and answered everyone's questions. Despite not knowing where to go to catch the tour bus, Dennis made sure we got on so we didn't miss it. We are so glad we made it. We got to see just enough of the cemetery and Wormsloe. The cookie stop was the perfect ending to a great day. This is a must do!

Fantastic Tour! - We went to Savannah, GA for a girl family getaway for my Mom’s Birthday. We experienced this tour on Sept. 23. From the beginning, grey line tours were attentive. They called the night before to arrange a pickup if we didn’t want to park at office. We accepted and Dennis was our guide for the day. He was fantastic! Extremely knowledgeable and pointed out so many things at Bonaventure Cemetery as well as Wormsloe Plantation. He kept us well hydrated and the lunch spot and Byrd’s Cookies made the day complete. Highly recommend.
