Alright, this is my third walking tour with Dirk, partly because I have a terrible short term memory, but mostly because I want to bring everyone who comes to visit us here in the South, on this tour. His is not the funny and colorful, fiction-filled trolley ride, but rather a carefully researched historical and architectural fact-filled adventure. If you... More

We had seen the great reviews about Savannah rambles and they were right on the money! Dirk started the tour by showing us how the city was laid out in a series of squares. He pointed out many...

I did the walking tour with Dirk this past week. I ended up being the only person and really enjoyed the one on one time to ask questions and viewing the architecture in the city along with interesting historical information.

You couldn't ask for a more perfect introduction to Savannah! Dirk's architectural tour was one of the highlights of a weekend-birthday celebration...eclipsed only by following his recommendation for dinner. Seeing the historical city through his eyes was a rare treat, and one which my wife and I would heartily recommend to anyone visiting Savannah. Dirk obviously knows and loves the... More

Dirk is an architect, and has lived in Savannah forever. You'll get great insight not only into the places, but the events that have transpired over time. Also a great lesson in architectural history and historic preservation. Highly recommend!

My fiance and I took the architectural tour with Dirk and were very impressed. I bought the tickets on Groupon and we ended up being the only ones on the tour...Sweet! Dirk took his time thoroughly explaining every detail to us. At the end of the tour we asked him for his suggestions for a place for lunch and which... More

I was lucky enough to get a private tour with Dirk, and it was a great look at the architecture and history of Savannah. Two hours. Lots of detail on the families of early Savannah, military history and architectural details. Dirk is educated as an architect and has great experience in historic preservation. He was recommended to me by another... More

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our two hour walking tour with Dirk of Savannah Rambles. We were spellbound as we learned about the history, architecture, and culture of this fascinating city. Dirk's knowledge of Savannah astounded us and enriched our vacation. Highly recommended tour led by an architect and historical preservationist.
