The tour guides and the performers at the stops were great but I only gave this tour 2 stars for several reasons. Most of the information given on the tour I already knew from researching the area before I went to Savannah. Also, most stops have plaques giving the history of the site. The tickets are overpriced and 15 to 20 minutes between the next pick up is a long time to wait. If you want to make use of the entire day and wait for the 5 o'clock bus at the end of the day to get back to your car you won't be getting anywhere soon and you will experience a lot of frustration. The buses are packed. You can get a free map of Savannah from the visitor center with all the points of interest clearly marked. If you are planning ahead, give the visitor center a call and they will mail it to you at no charge along with other great info. Savannah is easy to walk and also offers two bus routes that are free to use for tourists. Go explore on your own. You'll see more, learn more and have a much more relaxed and enjoyable experience.
