Bill is absolutely the best tour guide for Savannah! From pick up at our hotel to drop off, he gave us an amazing introduction to Savannah history, unique architecture, and amazing people. He will be our "by name" request for our return trips...and DTours as our preferred provider! Five starts to both Bill and DTours!

Andy was fantastic. He picked us up a little early from our hotel and gave us an incredibly interesting and educational tour of the Historic District, the Victorian District and the Bonaventure Cemetery. He personalized it to our interests, which we really appreciated. It was a great way to end our lovely trip to Savannah! Highly, highly recommend Andy as a guide.

Andy picked us up, a few minutes early, at our hotel after confirming our itinerary the day before. My wife and I discussed our plans and goals for the 3 hour tour—& off we went. Even though we had walked several times by ourselves through the Historic district, Andy taught us so much that it was like we were seeing it for the first time. Since we had not been to the Victorian district, it actually was all brand new. Our last stop was the Bonaventure Cemetery and all of Andy’s stories brought it to life for us. We would very, very much recommend this tour with Andy, because it was informal, but highly informative. In fact, we ended the tour by going to an excellent restaurant for lunch that he recommended.

Andy was very knowledgeable and you could tell he knew the history not just memorized his lines. The architecture of the city is beautiful and I would recommend this tour to anyone who want to know the history of the city. It was the highlight of our trip to Savannah.

Rose was our tour guide and driver. My mother and I really enjoyed our private tour. Rose was very nice and knowledgeable, she knows Savannah and its history very well. I enjoyed seeing the Starland District and Bonaventure Cemetery. I’ve been here once before yet Rose provided us with a lot of new information which I found delightful. Definitely recommend.

Andy was a great tour guide who gave us much history and back stories to the places we visited. Our 3 hour tour was just the right amount of time to feel like we really got the history of Savannah.
