Bonnie was an incredible guide. This tour was the first one that we took when we arrived in Savannah. She was able to give us so much history and a great feel for the city in such a short period of time. She was very comfortable with her delivery and her years of experience showed the tour itself was longer than most, and she provided a break partway through at a wonderful coffee shop. We would highly recommend this tour.

I truly enjoyed touring the Savannah Historic District with Bonnie. She was knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about Savannah’s history. The tour blended historical facts, local stories as well as hidden gems I wouldn’t have found on my own.
Bonnie is a local Savannan who knows the history of her city well. She was engaged, professional, and imparted interesting historical facts throughout the tour. We recommend her highly.
Bonnie was very knowledgeable about Savannah history and she made it interesting by telling lots of stories. Not once did we get bored or zone out over too much information. She also has a dry wit. She helped us with an itinerary as well for our 4 day stay, giving us info about what else to do and where to eat. Well worth every penny!

A leisurely stroll through Savannah's history by way of its shady squares. Bonny is an engaging guide who makes history come alive in the way she tells the stories of the past. There are plenty of benches to sit on along the way while enjoying her narrative.
My husband and I booked a 3-hour walking tour of the Historic District in Savannah with Bonnie Blue Tours. Bonnie was delightful, informative and steeped in Savannah history! She began by asking what we were most interested in seeing and tailored our tour accordingly. She even incorporated a wonderful little coffee house break into the tour. We could not have been more pleased with our choice of this tour!
Great historical perspective. Three hours but she does stops, and park benches. Colonial era, revolutionary, civil war era to modern times.
Bonnie is fabulous. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and we learned so much about the history of Georgia. I’d highly recommend for and this tour.
We both enjoyed learning all about the history of Savannah. Bonnie made the experience fun and interesting.
We arranged a private tour for three of us with Bonnie. We covered so much of the historic district in that time! Bonnie made history come to life with humor!
This tour was an in-depth 3 hour city tour of Savannah. Lots of history of the founding and development of the city, architecture and the way the city was developed around its squares. Although open to questions, it would have been helpful to have more of those openings. She had a specific ‘thing’ to say and didn’t seem open to interruptions! About halfway through the tour, we had an opportunity to stop at a café and get something to drink and rest for a few minutes. We enjoyed that.
Bonnie was the perfect guide, extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and humorous. We learned so much about the history and architecture of Savannah. The tour was nicely paced and was 6 hours. She pointed out house tours, museums, cafes, sweet shops, and restaurants that she recommended for our exploration on our own.
Bonnie was extremely knowledgeable. She obviously is passionate about her city. She also mixed in some good tourist information (dining and shopping locations). Overall, even though it was a three-hour tour, it passed very quickly. I highly recommend it.
Bonnie was a wealth of knowledge for 3 hours about all that is Savannah. She used her history degree to the fullest. Even with her injured leg she covered the most important arts of the cities history.

We did the "lightly sauced" tour of Savannah's historic downtown and historic beverages. Loved it - got to see a whole other side of the city. Bonnie really knows her stuff and makes it all very accessible. The drinks were great too!

Bonnie’s introduction to Savannah’s colorful history was wonderful! She really broke it down for the beginners but had so much more to share in response to questions. The pace was perfect.
Bonnie is a great guide with interesting insights into the history and beauty of Historic Savannah. She walks at a very leisurely pace and talks pretty much nonstop. Except when local construction projects out compete her on their noise. Go ahead and take her tour, it’s time and money well spent!
