We had the most amazing morning biking around old Savannah with Savannah on Wheels! We were lucky to be the only people on the tour and we had the best tour guide. Ben was a wealth of knowledge and taught us the incredible history of this city. The tour lasted about 2 hours and was a good mix of biking, learning and fun!! Highly recommend.

The Segway Movie Tour was absolutely awesome! We are from Savannah and we have never been on Segways so we decided to do this for my daughter’s 18th birthday. It was so fun and we even learned some new things about the city. Jason was an exceptional guide and teacher. The cute hats to wear over the helmets were an added touch to all of the fun!

The only FULL WALKING TOUR of Bonaventure Cemetery WITH TRANSPORTATION and most accurate Bonaventure Tour, bar none! Most other tours start at the gate and regurgitate a scripted tour of myth, legend, and flat out lies that was written to separate visitors from their money. With me, you get a 6th generation Savannahian and academically trained historian with 30 plus years in the Savannah hospitality business who has the inside scoop and who loves sharing the stories. All this and Southern Hospitality too! Door to door service from downtown or meet me at the cemetery if you'd rather drive yourself. Complimentary bottled water and everything else you'll need for a stroll through the oaks.

Inclusions: Cold bottled water, Umbrella for rain or shade, Bug spray, Transportation, The most complete walking tour of Bonaventure Cemetery with a 6th generation local and historian., Recommendations for the best restaurants and other things to do.

One of the best tours of Savannah. Jovy was a fantastic guide who transported us back through time to experience some of Savannah’s darkest stories. He was captivating and very talented. This is also one of the best ways to really see the beauty of Savannah as well. I highly recommend to all those interested in the paranormal, true crime and dark history!

Michelle is a font of information and fun. She has the dual assets of being both a native Georgian and a historian. We took a private tour which was well worth a few extra dollars. She went over and above in terms of our specific interests. If you are tired of “generic” tours, she is the guide for you!
