This is an excellent tour. Our guide, Angela, just gives so much life, humor and local flavor to the stories Savannah holds. This is our first tour and we would take the other tours offered, if we had planned ahead.
Thank you for a wonderful intro to the city.
For anybody out there considering taking a tour of Savannah, do not bother to look beyond Savannah Heritage Tours. I had only one day to see the city, and wanted to take the book tour since I had read it in preparation for my upcoming visit. Angela was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating to say the least. I must have called her a half dozen times to either ask directions or get advice for places to eat, etc; She was always very pleasant and eager to help. The highlight of the tour for me was the trip out to Bonaventure Cemetary, what an unbelievably unique and beautiful place! Angela encouraged me to get out and take pictures, and was able to provide background information on just about anything you wanted to know. At the end of the tour, she actually dropped us off at our car which was parked on a side street rather than just stopping in front of Clancy's where we agreed to meet for pick up. I am looking forward to touring with her again on my next visit. I can't recommend her enough, seriously. You will not be disappointed!
My friends and I came to Savannah for the day and we have decided to come back each year for a friends reunion. Most definitely, Angela will be included in our reunion. We all had a wonderful time driving out to Bonaventure and to Wormsloe and stopped for lunch at a restaurant near Wormsloe and met more great people. Thank you so much for making our reunion so memorable.
On behalf of myself and my family, I can't tell you what a pleasure it was to have Angela as our guide to all things Savannah. Not only was she informative and sensitive to my elderly parents special needs, but she went above and beyond a tour guide, making lunch reservations for us, offering to drop my parents off at the restaurant and taking time to help us explore Bonaventure Cemetary. We all agreed that Angela's tour was the highlight of our trip! Thanks again!
I took the "Midnight in the Garden in Good and Evil" book tour with Angela this past August. I took a one-day trip to Savannah from Charleston, primarily for this tour. It was completely worth it! I was traveling alone and had never been to Savannah before. Angela made me feel extremely welcome. She's very informative, personable and has great suggestions (the Olde Pink House restaurant!). I felt like I learned a lot about Savannah itself from this tour, in addition to seeing places where the book/movie were set. The highlight of the tour for me was Bonaventure Cemetery and learning about Jim Williams' restoration of buildings in Savannah. Don't hesitate to take a tour with Savannah Heritage Tours, even if you are in Savannah a short time. Angela is a fantastic guide!
My husband and I visited Savannah at the end of August. Out of all the tours and walks we took during our stay, Angela was by far our most informative, helpful, and gracious guide. (We took her Book Tour, but I believe that any offering of hers would be excellent.) As far as the city is concerned, she knows everyone and everything. Her touring vehicle is enclosed, air conditioned, and spotless, with full seats and not just a bench. It's perfect if you're hot, need your space, or are just worn out from traveling. Angela, I've sent along a little thank-you gift--say hi to Gracie for me!
Kim, thank you so much for your very kind words and the wonderful gift which I received today.
For those of you reading the comment page, I volunteered to clean Garcie Watson's gravesite at Bonaventure Cemetery and I mentioned this while doing a tour. Kim was on that tour and volunteered to help. I was embarrassed by the condition of my gardening tools, in fact, the handle on the rake broke in half and the hedge clippers were rusted. Kim sent me the most impressive hedge clippers I have ever seen and they will be used only for Gracie. Thanks so much Kim.
My friends and I had the best time in Savannah and Tybee! Part of this great experience was having Angela as our guide. She gave us a tour of the historic district and then Bonaventure Cemetery. Later that day we were able to go to the Lady and Sons because she made our reservations for us and it was great
food. Because of a thunder storm, we weren't able to leave the restaurant, but Angela had my phone number and called to see if we were okay and then came to pick us up at the restaurant to take us back to our hotel. We were so thankful for her thoughtfulness and going out of her way to make sure we were alright. Thanks for everything.
My friend and I had Angela take us on a tour of Bonaventure Cemetery and it was our favorite tour of our trip to Savannah!! We lucked out having Angela all to ourselves and we enjoyed every minute of not only the tour but getting to know Angela. Angela is so informative about everything from the town to the cemetery, which she shared with us as we drove from our hotel to the cemetery and back again! If I wasn't sure about moving to Savannah before her tour, she definitely convinced me that Savannah is the place for me! I just can't express how fabulous the tour is and it is made even better having Anglea as your guide!! Thanks again for everything Angela!!
Thank you so much. When you all get ready to move, please give me a call. It was such a pleasure to show you Savannah and I look forward to seeing you again.
We just took the tour today. It was wonderful. Angela shared so much information about Savannah, her people, and of course, the book. She has a great sense of humor, and knows so many of the locals. She took the time to answer all questions, and even stopped the van to let me out to take several pictures. This is THE tour to take if you are coming to Savannah. She knows the story well and points out both the homes used in the movie, and also the actual sights if the movie used a different facade. This was the highlight of our visit to Savannah.

We just returned from our visit to Savannah and had a great time seeing this beautiful. Angela took us on a wonderful tour giving us a little history, some of "The Book" tour and then a tour of Bonaventure cemetery. This was the best tour ever and we just can't thank her enough for a great time.
Angela is genuinely a very nice person and knows EVERYTHING (including all the good gossip) about Savannah. It was just the three of us that night, so she really went out of her way to focus on what we wanted to know and questions we had. It was delightful from start to finish, as was she. As we were talking she kept including more places of interest that she thought we would like, and we never felt like she had one eye on the clock. I just can't recommend her highly enough. There may be other ghost tour guides available in Savannah, but Angela simply just CANNOT BE BEAT! She offers a number of other tours and we will definitely be calling her during our next trip to Savannah.
Angela:
Just wanted to let you know again how appreciative we are of your hospitality and knowledge. Your attention to detail and kindness made our trip. The tour we took with you was by far the best of the 5 we took while in Savannah on our Honeymoon. I spent Saturday evening raving about you all over the City Market and handing out your phone number.
You will always have friends in Myrtle Beach!
One of the reasons we visited Savannah was because of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil; we decided to take the book tour and had a great time. Angela is seriously the best tour guide we've ever had. She posseses a wealth of knowledge regarding the people and homes featured in both the novel and the movie and shared 'behind the scenes' tidbits as well. The tour of Bonaventure Cemetery was especially beautiful and Angela provided plenty of interesting trivia about the tombstones and the people buried there. She gave great suggestions about places around town to check out and was funny and welcoming. We absolutely recommend Angela as a tour guide and will definitely give a call the next time we visit!
