It was a very detailed oriented tour, I asked several additional questions and received insightful answers. Thank you!

We had a private tour with Pierce and oh how much fun! He was so knowledgeable and the best thing ever! He had a device that I was able to wear that had a headphone and as he spoke in to his microphone it transmitted to my ear. This was so wonderful because I was able to wander and take pictures while being able to learn about the history of Savannah! read more

Pierce was our guide a few weeks ago when we were visiting Savannah and he did absolutely phenomenal. First, it was raining and they had umbrellas for us to use, a huge perk we really appreciated, because walking around in the rain wouldn't have been so great but it made the day so much better. He gave us so much information, but didn't go overboard. Gave us lots of tips to what else to see and do while in Savannah, we learned a lot and it made us appreciate the city even more. When the tour was over he let us keep the umbrella for the rest of the day, we just had to return it to the office which is right by where our tour began- it was really appreciated. Definitely recommend this tour!! read more

Just had a fantastic walking tour with Pierce. Fascinating material, well-presented, and Pierce was very pleasant, open to questions, and knowledgeable. read more

So many good things to say about this tour and this company: first, exceptional customer service--we had to reschedule last minute and fully expected to pay to reschedule but they offered a reschedule for free. Our tour guide, Champ was very informative, balanced the unsavory aspects of southern history with equanimity and reflection. He was like the best imaginable history teacher. Highly recommend this company and tour! read more

I'm not sure what to say in this review. I booked this on TripAdvisor by way of Viator or vice versa. I selected the historical walking tour of Savannah for the four of us on a day trip. We were coming from Hilton Head. We were instructed to meet at Reynolds's Square for a 1:00pm tour. Our tour guide was Marcia. She sought us out at the square. That was a good sign. Handed us an audio with a earpiece. Another good sign. When she collected the entire group together she started in on how Savannah came to be. Primarily due to James Oglethorpe. We spent the first 20 minutes of our two hour tour here. Standing and listening. Finally she starts walking and talking the entire time. However it's not even keel. She's drinking coffee so she's on a caffeine high. She's animated to the point of being over dramatic. She takes us from one square to another. She's got plenty of energy. But it's her delivery of information. Calm down. And because Savannah has an open alcohol policy where you can drink alcohol in a plastic cup in public she points out two pubs where we can purchase a drink while we're walking. With 20+ folks that eats into our time. She did compensate our tour by extending our time together but overall the tour can be improved or modified. The tour ended at Monterey Square. read more

Kelse was our guide for the architectural tour & we got exactly what we had hoped for. We wanted different tour than just a "typical one" and he was absolutely fantastic. Would highly recommend! read more

Pierce was a knowledgeable and articulate guide to the history and development of Savannah. Reasonably paced walking tour of major exteriors and parks and monuments. Definitely good value for the money! read more

Did 2 separate tours with Noble Jones when we were recently in Savannah, and they were both great! First we did the Savannah Saunter with Pierce. This was a great intro to the city on our first full day. Think of it as a general history and culture tour. As we were planning on walking around the city for the next few days, this worked well. As someone who grew up in Savannah and a history buff, Pierce was knowledgeable and personable. I was surprised how many Revolutionary war statues and stories there were. Overall this gave us a good lay of the land and a few restaurants to hit. On our last day we did the Civil War tour. A lot of other tours told the same history/stories while avoiding the topic of the Civil War--even though it's obviously big in the city's history--so we were excited for this. We had Keith as a guide, and he was superb. He even had a list of books he quoted throughout the tour with references to back up everything he aid. Shockingly my wife and I were the only ones to sign up, so we effectively got a private tour. It was probably our favorite part of the entire trip. Granted that these are just walking tours, but in each case we left leaving like we got a great deal. Savannah is a nice, walkable city, but being told the history enriches it so much more. Would definitely recommend these tours to anyone visiting! read more

Loved the historic tour with that included history lessons from people who represented historical figures of the area.

We had a great experience on our 2-hour walking tour. Our guide, Peter, did an excellent job keeping everyone interested and engaged, even my 11 year old son who usually resists that type of thing. We moved at a good pace and covered quite a bit of ground. read more

Excellent highly recommended! Informative and very enjoyable tour! Excellent ways to see Savannah!

We got a very interesting and thoughtful tour from Champ with lots of history. I would definitely recommend!

9/06/23 Pierce, our guide, was fantastic... a Walking, Talking Savannah "History Book"! Besides the great price, I preferred the 2 hour walking tour over the riding tour (a few blurbs in a few seconds at each location). Pierce took at least 5 minutes or more at each stop thoroughly covering the history as well as answering questions. At the end of our tour he provided additional visitation suggestions and advised that he would be available to answer any future questions which we may have. For just $26.50, this was one of the best city tours I have experienced. Michelle W read more

We did the Civil War walking tour with Pierce. It was very good. He is a history buff with a great delivery. It was a mix of points of interest with some deeper dives to help provide context for what life/politics were at that time. I would recommend this. read more

Took the Historic Savannah walking tour with Keith and it was excellent. He had a real passion for the subject and good positive energy. He moved at a good pace and made sure our group was together and engaged. Very patient with questions and offering helpful suggestions. I really liked the areas we visited and his personal input as well as the history. I have taken several tours of Savannah over the years and he was the best guide yet! Highly recommend this company and Keith as a guide. read more

Took a Civil War tour with Keith. I was not a fan of this tour. I think we stopped at three places that were semi related to the Civil War. Keith was very repetitive and did not relate much on the tour to what we were seeing. Sitting in a square without moving we could have heard the information in 30 minutes. There was information given that when I investigated further was not true. read more

We booked a private tour with short notice. They were very accommodating. Mike was our amazing guide. He was lovely and I know my brain grew just talking/walking with him for 2 hours. We took a few other tours of houses and a cemetery. Nothing was close to this tour - we loved all the factual history, local insights and amazing architectural information. My only regret is we didn't do this our first day as Mike's suggestions were all wonderful... we just didn't have time for them all. We will book another tour with Noble Jones when we come back. read more

I did a 2-hour tour with Keith and I had the best time. He is very knowledgeable and shares many interesting things about Savannah. It is a walking tour and the two hours fly by, so you won't get tired of walking. There are some stops in which you can seat down in the square benches (not Forrest Gump bench haha!). Thank you, Keith!!!!! read more

Very nice, attentive and most of all knowledgeable. If you want to learn about Savannah away from the history books, this is the place. My guide was Marcia and she was amazing and very energetic so I was never at a loss for information. She loves questions so have them ready!! read more

Highly interesting and informative. My thanks to former YELPers for letting me find this great tour. My last trip to Savannah, we had taken a number of good and interesting historic tours, including a ghost tour. This one exceeded all the rest. Our tour guide was Orlando and he did a wonderful job of adding history to the amazing characters and events that have made this place so incredible. My husband was initially skeptical when I told him I had booked this 2 hour tour - he thanked me at least four times during and after it. Highly recommended. read more

We took the Deeper Into Midnight tour. Orlando was very knowledgeable about the truth and story regarding the events portrayed in the book/movie, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. He showed us many of the places and buildings in which some of these took place. He was engaging and welcomed questions. An excellent experience. Highly recommend. read more

My fiancé and I took a tour with Noble Jones last week, and we had such a great time! Kelse was beyond informative, and gave a more nuanced and well rounded look at beautiful Savannah. He had so much energy, and information about everything from the history to the architecture. We really enjoyed the tour and would definitely recommend him! read more

Took a 2 hour historic walking tour with Orlando as our guide. He was great! Had so much information. Wonderful tour with doing!

Marcia Palmer was our guide in historic Savannah. She was terrific, engaging and energetic, lifting us up on a rainy day. Her enthusiasm for history and all things Savannah was impressive. I am now a James Oglethorpe groupie. read more

Looking around a city is one thing, but knowing what you're looking at is another. We took the "Noble Stroll" private tour which allowed us to merge two of the standard tours (Savannah Saunter and Civil War History), but it seemed like a tour built around what we wanted to see and learn. Kelse was our guide and he made it entertainingly educational, weaving stories around the facts so what he told us was never dry. His enthusiasm for his work and the city were energizing. We took a trolley tour too, mainly to use as an initial orientation to (and transport around) the city, but it does not replace a tour such as this one. The trolley glosses over things and can't touch the knowledge Kelse had. Plus, walking instead of driving brings a new perspective of the city - a much better one! read more

We took a relaxed car trip from south Florida to Boston. On the way we stopped wherever something looked interesting. Of all our tours this was our favorite as we got not just history and descriptions, but also interesting anecdotes at almost every stop. I am a retired reference librarian so I fact-checked several of the more interesting anecdotes when I got home. All proved true! read more

Fabulous two hour walking tour we booked on a recommendation from our hotel. Learned a lot and even my 8 and 10 year old were interested the whole time. Kelsey was our guide read more

Our host for the tour, Michael Mack, was so knowledgeable and interesting as he walked us around historic Savannah. I couldn't believe how many new and interesting local stories that I learned. But his robust knowledge of History wasn't some boring string of facts in isolation. I am a History teacher, hold a bachelor's in History from Rutgers College and have several Master's credits in History focusing on three main areas: Revolutionary America, Civil War Era and 20th Century America. Rather he wove historic themes and events over time as you stood in those same places he spoke about. The city squares we stood in came to life! He was extremely pleasant, passionate, thoughtful and informative. I would say that, much more than a tour, it was like renting a friend for the day to walk you through such lovely spaces in such a gorgeous city. read more

We lucked out with a last minute change in tour guides and ended up on a private tour with Kelse. He was warm, charming, personable, professional and full of knowledge. He clearly loved what he does and has a cast knowledge of Savannah's history. I would highly recommend Noble Jones Tours. read more

We had signed up with another tour operator but luckily got Kelse from Noble Jones instead. Kelse was so informative, funny, and was able to answer all of our questions. I don't think anyone else could've kept our attention the whole tour. Even my 20 something sons, thoroughly enjoyed the tour. If I could rate Kelse 10 stars, I would! read more

Fantastic tour. Kelse right on time and super attentive to our needs. His passion for history and the city are infectious. Kelse knows the city and it's history. read more

Fantastic introduction to Savannah! We had a group of 15 women, and everyone enjoyed it. Kelse was such a great storyteller, and we were all fascinated by the history of the town. And we could bring our own Bloody Mary along due to the open container laws! read more

I went on the Savannah Saunter with Kelse at the guide. He was very informative and seemed to have a focus on history and architecture. I felt he gave a very thorough explanation of Savannah and her history. I learned a lot, but never felt the information went over my head (I am no history buff). He delivers the tour with humor and honesty. My only complaint would be that it didn't last long enough- I would have loved to learn more! read more

KELSE was great in his description of the impact of the civil war on Savannah. Worth every penny and a great way to learn about Savannah.

This was an amazing tour! We did a private tour with Pierce and he is super knowledgeable. We were able to ask lots of questions and interact one on one. I highly recommend this tour to anyone that wants actual Savannah history from a competent source. read more

Our tour guide was Mike Mack. He shared lots of knowledge and we could ask questions whenever we wanted. The tour was suppose to be 2 hours but we were out for 2 and a half hours. The group was a comfortable size of 16. They limit their group sizes to 20 even though the cities limit per group is 30. Sometimes his voice was too soft to hear everything he was saying, but that was usually when a roving bar or motorcycle would go by. The extra $5 above other tour companies was worth having a smaller group. read more

My parents came into town, and we decided to do a Civil War walking tour. Noble Jones had been highly recommended to me so I wanted to give them a try. I am so glad I did. Kelse was our tour guide and he was absolutely fantastic. My dad knows a lot about the War Between the States, but he learned more about Savannah's particular role in the war. He kept waiting to see if Kelse messed up any of his dates, but he never did. Kelse would often quote journals from men that were involved which showed us he had really done his research and knew what he was talking about. The tour was a little over two hours and I loved that he didn't rush my mother who is a slightly slower walker. He's was funny, engaging and extremely knowledgeable. I know the company offers other tours so I'm looking forward to trying this company again. read more

We did the Civil War tour with Keith. He was very knowledgeable about the war and specifically about its affect on the city. We lucked into a private tour (no one else signed up) so he was also a fountain of knowledge about Savannah's founding. Being from Maryland, we knew a couple of things about the war up north that he didn't - so it was a fun conversation between us about what happened when. Keith was very fun to just hang out with too. Thoroughly enjoyed our time with him and highly recommend. read more

Great, personal walking tour. Kelse was a real kick and so knowledgeable. No tour busses, no horses, no high prices. Got our money's worth and had a great walk through the city . He even does a "Midnight " tour with a different and detailed take on the book. Highly recommend! read more
