My family and I drove up to Savannah for the day from Jeckyll island. This tour was a great way to hit a lot of the highlights of Savannah and Tybee Island. Bill was awesome! Very knowledgeable and accommodating. Definitely recommend this tour to anybody visiting for the day or for folks staying in Savannah that want some suggestions on where to spend more time during their stay.

My husband and i needed to fill in some time before our afternoon flight so we booked a private tour with Rose. We couldn’t have asked for a nicer, more knowledgeable accommodating guide! She shared with us additional ‘insights’ to several of the historic places in Savannah that we weren’t aware of from the regular group tours we typically go on! My husband said this was his favorite part of our Savannah trip! Rose, and D Tours, were so accommodating taking us to the sites we didn’t make it to during our ‘too short’ trip and arranged to take us to the airport for our flight. We enjoyed our 5 hours, with Rose, immensely. Highly recommend D Tours, and esp Rose!

We really enjoyed our time with Bill. We covered a lot of ground in Historic Savannah and Tybee Island. He also gave us restaurant ideas and places to go later that afternoon.

Andy was awesome! My husband is hard of hearing and Andy made sure he spoke up and faced my husband when possible. It worked! The trip to Tybee was great with a history lesson and facts the whole way out and back to the city. Bonaventure Cemetery was amazing, with stories about some of the “residents”, including Johnny Mercer. More stories and history and photo ops thru the historic areas. Great day, brought Savannah to life! Thank you, Andy!
