This is an excellent experience for guests of any age and knowledge level, ranging from the complete novice all the way up to history connoisseurs. We will cover Savannah history in depth in a way that both serves as an introduction and also elaborates on the significant interactions and implications of these events and figures. You will learn about influential residents and visitors, architectural trends, the impact of wars and movements, and how all these events intertwine to form a city that is both frozen in time and very much alive. You are certain to leave this tour with a greater depth of knowledge and more rounded appreciation of Savannah than ever before.

Sargon is the tour guide with the mostest. She exudes enthusiasm and knowledge about any aspect of Savannah history we were able to ask about. She really seems to be in love with the city and delights in imparting information. This goes for the men and women of the past--the ones on the statutes--the architecture, the commerce, the flora and fauna of the region. She can emphasize the aspects about which you are the most curious.
