I really can't say enough about Kathy and her All About Savannah tours! My wife and I visited Savannah on the first and second days of our honeymoon and absolutely fell in love with the city. The first day, we went it alone...relying on travel sites and peer reviews to help us hack our way through the city. On day two, however, Kathy to the rescue!
She picked us up right at our B&B and whisked us away on a tour of Savannah. Kathy is a veritable treasure trove of local history and Savannahian trivia. And I don't mean that she delivers a well-rehearsed, 35-minute, trolley-esque monologue. Kathy really knows her stuff. She answered every question we had with encyclopedic accuracy and made sure we were really taking in the local flavor.
We started in the Bonaventure Cemetery which, as odd as it is to say, is one of the most beautiful places we visited. Rife with architectural and stonework wonders, the cemetery was a great backdrop for Kathy as she presented some of the multicolored past of Savannah - from its early Jewish settlers, to its role in the civil war, to its place in the Southern cotton plantation aristocracy, to its publicized, modern-day scandal and cinematic artistry.
I won't spoil all the surprises Kathy has in-store for you. But suffice it to say we will definitely be making a trip back; and soon. We feel as if we really made a great friend in Savannah. We can't wait to take another tour! read more
