Customer Reviews

I’ve been part of many walking tours: Boston, Charleston, Savannah, etc. Wayne is easily the best tour guide I’ve ever had. You can really tell he has a passion for history and storytelling. 11/10 would recommend. We will be back.

Wesley did an amazing job! His passion for the history of the city definitely shows through during his tour. So much knowledge!
Angela O.
Absolutely amazing. Wayne, a retired history teacher of 30 years, knew everything there was about the cemetery. I highly recommend him and his company to everyone looking for a meaningful and informative time in Savannah.

Our tour guide Wesley was very knowledgeable about Savannah’s history. He kept us engaged the entire tour. He also gave great recommendations for other things to do and see while we are here. I would give more than 5 stars if I could!
Jennifer Henley
On a recent visit, my family and I had the pleasure of going on a tour with Wayne. He is the very best storyteller and will have children and adults of all ages captivated! His knowledge of American history is vast and his way of telling the story will have you wanting to stay just a little longer and you’ll be thinking of booking another tour before you even get home.

We had a such a great experience with our walking history tour with Wayne, that we immediately booked the Bonaventure cemetery tour with Wise Guys! We learned a lot and it enhanced our visit to Savannah!

We did the history buff tour with Wesley as our tour guide. What a fun morning! Wesley was very knowledgeable about the history of Savannah and how it came to be. He gave us lots of extra little tidbits that I don’t think we would have learned from another tour guide. Highly recommend Wise Guys Tours!

Just finished a historical tour with Wes Worthington from Wise Guys Historical Tours. Wes had an extensive knowledge in all areas of Savannah’s history and was easy to talk to and ask questions. We learned so much and did not realize the influence that Savannah had on the founding of the US. Definitely worth your time.

Jean Ashmore
Wow!! What a fun tour through Savannah! Wayne is a walking book of historical knowledge and brings bits of history that I can remember back to life with details and stories!! He was so kind to take it slow for some of our older people and we had some sitting breaks in the beautiful squares! Call Wayne for a walk to remember in Savannah!

What a wonderful walking tour & an even more wonderful guide, Wayne. He was kind, humorous, and made history interesting and come alive!
Vicka Durby
Wayne did an excellent job and tailored our tour to cover areas of Savannah history that we had not already covered. We found him to be very knowledgeable and a pleasure on the tour.

Great walking tour with guide Joe. Informative and fascinating walk around the old historic district. We enjoyed it tremendously.

We did the cemetery tour and came back for more the second day. Wayne was a great tour guide. He’s a former HS history teacher and his knowledge and storytelling skill reflect this. Very high quality operator of tours.

I’ve taken several tours in Savannah and this was one of my favorite because the tour guide was so flexible and cognizant of the group’s needs. I took this tour with a group of co-workers. Wes, the guide, tailored the tour based on the group’s interests and even let us stop to get a drink. The owner even stopped by to introduce himself and tell us about how he started the company!
Ketira B.
BEST TOUR EVER! Wayne is super knowledgeable and is a great guide! 10/10. If you want to get to know Savannah, this is the tour for you!

This was the best part of our Savannah trip. Our guide was awesome and knew a ton of great history. Highly recommend this. We will be back for sure.
Keith L.
Found Wise Guys almost by accident but their golf cart tour of Bonaventure Cemetery was by far the best thing my wife and I have done in the area. Great explanations for tourists, perfect amount of time on site, and lots of extra care to stop, dismount, and examine specific highlights. Cannot recommend enough and will be back to take the tour again the next time we are in Savannah or Tybee Island.
Jonathan Lampe
We had a great tour with Marcia today at Bonaventure Cemetery. We covered a lot of ground and learned so many facts and stories about Savannah. I love that we got the real story, not some embellishment or possible ghost tale. We will definitely be booking more tours with this company and hope to have Marcia again!
Brandy Bocchino
Joanna provided a golf cart tour of Bonaventure Cemetery to our small group. She was awesome! Knowledgeable, friendly, conversational, and just seemed genuinely enthusiastic to share what she knows. She offered a good balance of education and storytelling and we left quite impressed. It was also a kind gesture for the tour to have provided us blankets for the ride as it was a chilly morning! Thanks for a great tour.
Sara Selby
Our tour through the cemetery was fantastic! I am so glad we chose a tour to learn more about the history of the cemetery as well as the people that have been laid to rest in it. It is such a huge cemetery and there is no way we would have covered as much territory or had the background information necessary to really appreciate the beauty and history of the cemetery.
