I just returned from a 5-day trip to Savannah and am so glad I brought this book with me! The walking tours were well laid out, and even though we skipped around a bit it was very easy to get back on track. The pictures and descriptions were great and made traversing Historic Savannah a breeze. Of note, as we were walking around near the River District a gentleman approached us to say it was nice to see us using his book as reference - yep, he was the author! He very kindly spent a few minutes chatting with us, and even helped us with directions. I highly recommend this book to any and all looking for an easy to follow guide this lovely city.

Great book full of information and history on each site. So very worth the $6. Excellent travel resource.

Contrary to the description, this is NOT a comprehensive guide. It's more like a leaflet or magazine. I wouldn't call it a guidebook at all. All it contains are the different self-guided walking tours, with a bit of basic information about the points of interest on each walk. Don't waste your time.

Horrible graphic design, good information and writing
