This is a great walking tour if you’re going though in June or summer make sure you bring a water or a fan does get a little bit hot and steamy. Ryan was fabulous. Very knowledgeable. Loved all of his insights and personal pictures of the real people that the books about love that it was so historically correct!

The guide was phenomenal. He sent me a message after my email. I deleted it mistakenly. If you could forward his information that would be wonderful. We enjoyed the tour.

Our tour guide was exceptional. If you loved the book, don't miss this tour because you will learn so much about it, as well as the history of Savannah. Be prepared to walk on uneven surfaces and don't forget to eat lunch at Clary's after the tour.
