Our guide Jovi was great. We learned a little bit about a lot of the different parts and eras of Savannah's history. Jovi was good with the Seniors who weren't quite as fast and/or needed to rest. There's obviously a lot to Savannah and only so much can be covered in a two hour walk. We think we got a great overview and saw and learned some interesting things about Savannah's history from it's founding to the present. Highly recommend!My wife and I did the Genteel and Bard’s Savannah History Walking Tour and we’re extremely pleased with the experience. Our guide, Joe V, was fantastic…very knowledgeable and personable. We highly recommend this to anyone visiting Savannah for the first time!

This tour was excellent. TC was the best tour guide I've ever listened to. His love for his city shows in everything he says. His knowledge of the history and the stories that he tells are captivating. We were a small group of older ladies and had no problems walking the tour.

I will be recommending this tour to everyone.I live here. I have taken 6 or more walking tours in the historic district. This one was tops in my book.
