Do All The Tours!
So we went to Savannah with TS Debby approaching and had scheduled two tours, the first of which (this one) had to be cancelled due to weather - BUT - Sargon reached out and combined the Rising Voices and the 101 tours for us later in the week. I've now done all three of Sargon's tours - one twice - and have come away having had a terrific tour, a great experience, and learned new things. Highly recommend.
Response from the operator: It was so great getting to see you again! Thanks for coming back and taking the time to leave such a kind review! Hopefully by the time you come back again I'll have developed a new tour too :D

Awesome Tour
Great tour!! This was the first thing we did when we visited Savannah and what a great way to kick off an amazing long weekend visit. Sargon, our tour guide, was deeply knowledgable and enthusiastic about the history of Savannah. We learned so much about Savannah's deep and interesting past from Colonial times to the Civil War and through the Civil rights movement. If you want a compehensive, interesting and fun tour that is deep in history and the sites of Historic Dowentown Savannah I highly recommend this tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the review! I had a lot of fun showing y'all around town and hope you really enjoyed the rest of your visit!

Why this scores 66

Savannah 101, a History Tour (by Walk With Me Savannah Tours): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Savannah.
How much does Savannah 101, a History Tour (by Walk With Me Savannah Tours) cost?
+
Prices start at $40 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Savannah usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Savannah 101, a History Tour (by Walk With Me Savannah Tours) take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Savannah is not rushed.
Is Savannah 101, a History Tour (by Walk With Me Savannah Tours) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Savannah, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Savannah 101, a History Tour (by Walk With Me Savannah Tours)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Savannah 101, a History Tour (by Walk With Me Savannah Tours) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Savannah 101, a History Tour (by Walk With Me Savannah Tours)?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Savannah can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Savannah and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Savannah 101, a History Tour (by Walk With Me Savannah Tours) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Savannah within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Savannah?
+
Savannah is a walking city with a dense guide market, which means quality spread is wide. Historic district walks, Bonaventure Cemetery trips, trolley hop-on routes and ghost tours with tavern access make up most bookings. Outty Ranking leans on licensed-guide status and group size, since the squares get loud once a tour passes twenty people. On Outty we rank every Savannah experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Bonaventure Cemetery Walking Tour with Transportation, Historic Savannah Guided Walking Tour, Haunted Savannah Booze and Boos Ghost Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Savannah?
+
March to May for azaleas, or October to November for cool evenings. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Savannah?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What happens to Savannah 101, a History Tour (by Walk With Me Savannah Tours) if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Savannah. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
What do travelers say about Savannah 101, a History Tour (by Walk With Me Savannah Tours)?
+
Across 17 reviews averaging 5.0 out of 5, recurring themes include knowledge and storytelling, the guide. Reviewers describe the commentary as informative rather than scripted.
