Great tour for history buffs! - The heat!🥵. But seriously, our tour guide Ken maintained his cool and southern-gentlemanly charm throughout the two-plus hours of our tour. His energetic, lively accounts of the stories of the original settlers of Savannah kept us engaged throughout. He provided bottles of water and plenty of shaded rest stops while he entertained our group with mostly true (and some widely-known untruths) about Savannah. Would highly recommend Ken and this tour, especially for history nerds like us!

Transported Back in Time - The very reason I chose this walking tour was because of “The Wandering Historians” encompassed in the name of the tour. Ken was an awesome tour guide. He dressed the part of a southern gentleman. He conducted the tour in such a way that it made me feel like I was transported back in time. We learned so much about Savannah from its beginnings; some of the important events and people that make Savannah what it is today (The Squares, the Siege, SCAD, Pulaski, Tomochichi, Oglethorpe, Juliette Gordon Lowe, the Wesley’s). Ken was courteous, considerate, and very intelligent. He knows his stuff. This was one of the best walking tours I have ever been on!!!!
