This was a great tour. Dennis was very entertaining and informative. He provided so much information and stories about Bonaventure and the Wormsloe site. Having water and umbrellas available was a nice touch since it was raining in and off for the first half of the day. Highly recommend this tour-ask for Dennis!

The tour was exceptionally well researched, fun and beautifully delivered by Dennis. Highly recommended to visit 2 key Savannah sites….and cookies at the end!

Dennis offered an articulate, well-paced commentary about historic and contemporary Savannah. Conscientious about his passengers’ comfort and safety, Dennis ensured everyone had an enjoyable experience. A pleasant balance of society and nature, with excellent food and a late afternoon sugar hit at the cookie emporium.

We were all very happy that we chose this tour rather than going on our own. It was 100% worth the money. We learned so much about the history and even the geography of Savannah. Dennis was amazing! So much knowledge and personality. We highly recommend!
