Sophie spoke very well and kept us focused on the history and ghost of the past. I preferred the walk over other tours such as the bus tour that was offered at the same time since it was a cool evening and nice to walk around the neighborhood. If your looking for something to do in Savannah GA, this is a good tour to sign up for.

The tour was awesome. The only 2 complaints I have are that the meet up location isn’t accurate. It leads you to the side of a building when you should actually be meeting in the middle of the square. The other complaint isn’t something that has a fix, I’d just suggest not going at the end of July! Thought we were going to die of heat stroke at 9pm.

I unfortunately was late trying to find parking, but the guide was so nice and let me join the group! Of course I paid for the tour, anyway he was friendly and very informative. I'd highly recommend for anyone who wants to do the tour,! You'll have so much fun!!
