The architectural tour was the highlight of our trip! Jonathan was extremely knowledgeable, but more that than, he was very approachable, so we were able to ask questions and find out more about the areas that we were interested in. He made the history of the Savannah area come alive as he showed us the progression of architectural movements in... more

This was a great tour, Jonathan was extremely knowledgeable about the architecture of the city and you don't need to be an architect to understand the tour. You really got to see and understand what makes Savannah so special. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Savannah, it is well worth it. more

This is a great way to start out any trip to Savannah. I actually did the standard tour when I first moved to Savannah a couple of years ago. I loved it so much that I came back another weekend and did the Forsyth tour. You'll get a feel for the layout of the city and get to learn about... more

There are so many tours to choose from and I found it rather confusing trying to select the best one. I went by the reviews on trip advisor and everything I read about this tour was correct. Jonathan is knowlegable, friendly and a great teacher. Total distance walked (by my pedometer) was only about 1.5 miles. The architects in the... more

This tour -- and tour guide -- is a fabulous introduction to Savannah. Whether you're into "architecture" or not, looking at the different building styles tells the story of Savannah history and is a great introduction to the city. We wished we'd done this tour the first day of our stay -- Jonathan is one of the most informative tour... more

Excellent walking tour. The trolleys are a plague on the city, loud obnoxious and inferior guides. This tour however is walking and focuses on walking the grid of the city, starting with the oldest examples of homes, all the way up to the newest. Jon was highly responsive over email, and knows his stuff. He also keeps the group sizes... more

This was an enjoyable way to spend the afternoon touring Savannah. This is our second trip to the city and this tour was appropriate for us, even though we have done several other tours. This is also a great "first thing" tour. You get a great orientation of the city, an appreciation for Savannah and its people, and for Jonathan's... more

I know it will be hard to turn down/avoid the cheesy, mass-marketed trolley tours and ghost tours, but do yourself a favor and make sure you take Jonathan's tour. I recommend doing it early in your visit so you have context for anything else you do and see. He has a real knack for conveying the information in a way... more

This was my first walking tour of Savannah, so I didn't know what to expect. My out-of-town friends and I had a fantastic tour with Jonathan today. He really made learning about Historic downtown Savannah fun. He knows so much architecture and history. He has an amazing knack for entertaining and educating, all at the same time. I will be... more
