The book was released in 1993, and on New York best seller list for 216 weeks, longer than any book in history. A few years later, the movie was released and helped put Savannah on the map of tourism. After-all, everyone loves a good scandal every once in a while. We recommend reading the book, or at least watching the movie prior to visiting Savannah.

We had a wonderful tour of Savannah with our tour guide also named Savannah! She was informative, funny and helpful and made us appreciate the city and its rich history. I liked that she didn’t get political too. When we asked, she also gave us some good advice on eateries as well. It was humid and hot, but we didn’t mind as she kept things interesting.

We came to Savannah to visit a friend who had just moved here. We all decided to do this tour to get acclimated to Savannah. So glad we did. Crystal was our guide. She was so personable, knowledgeable, and passionate about Savannah’s history. She was also witty, interjecting tidbits of where certain sayings you have heard all your life came from. It was an extremely hot and humid day, and Crystal was very understanding, taking time to let us duck into places that had air conditioning. We even were able to grab a sandwich to take along. Crystal took extra time with us, giving us additional pieces of information that we might not hear anywhere else. This tour was well worth the time and cost. A must do. Big shout out to Crystal.
