What Our Guests Say
“What a fun treat! My 10-year-old son has been begging to go on a tour downtown, and we, finally, got to make his wish come true. Our guide was able to take us on an adventure in downtown Savannah, sharing amazing bits of history that we‘d never have gotten to learn *and* experience without her. Her storytelling transported us to the times of each site, as she shared more than just dates by setting a scene for each one, enveloping us in fine details of what was going on in the area, what the people involved with the site were like, and so much more. I whole-heartedly recommend this shining gem of the myriad of Savannah tours.”– Melissa W.
“Highly recommend Savannah Jewish Treasures. We learned so much history and heard fascinating stories, like we walked through time. The guide went above and beyond for us; she confirmed the elevator was available for my mother and her wheelchair and accommodated everyone, including my brother who is hard of hearing. Truly a memorable family reunion and our stroll with Jessica was a highlight!”– Angel K.
