The tour guide was friendly and personable. The tour was supposed to be an hour and 15 minutes long. The first and only stop to get off the van was for a hotel bathroom. No one requested to use one. However, the passengers were encourage to use it. The stop wasted time. The tour ended in 55 minutes. Also the microphone system had poor acoustics.

Outstanding and passionate tour guide. Angela was really knowledgeable about Savannah and we really learned a lot about its history. When we return to GA, we’ll definitely look to go on another sight seeing tour. The company was especially, accommodating since we arrived late due to holiday traffic leaving Hilton Head and we were about to have a rescheduled tour on the same day, as a result.

Our tour of Savannah with Hampton was the absolute highlight of our trip! Hampton is an incredible storyteller who brings the city’s history, architecture, and hidden gems to life with so much passion and humor.
