If you are ever in Savannah, GA and want to learn the history of the city from 1733 until today, I highly recommend Savannah True History Tours. Brandon was a wealth of knowledge. I learned a lot in the two hour walking tour. He went from the city’s founding to the Revolutionary War to the Civil War through the 20th century to present day. It’s nice to have a tour guide that tells the actual history of the city that’s not embellished or flat out false. Brandon’s tour was very insightful.Excellent tour. Brandon was incredibly interesting and knowledgeable. Do this one and not a dumb ghost tour!
