Savannah Virtual Walking Tour Questions and Answers

Q: Why is this tour better than having a live guide?

A: A live guide is great if you are within a small tour group. However, consider that the live guide will cost you at least $60 per couple, and you must meet his tour schedule. With SVT you can set your own time table, you get a guide at all 19 stops via video and you get far more than any guide can give you by the use of your cell phone and the internet. By this I mean you now have access to vintage photos, video clips, historical spots and much more. Lastly, you only pay $19.95 even if you are a group of 100 people. You simply share the hidden website that you bought. It is that easy, simple and affordable.

Q: How long is the tour?

A: The tour is a two hour tour on the average and it covers the most important squares in Savannah. However, there are many stops and squares that you can also cover beyond the two hour tour. There is simply too much history to cover in two hours. There is 286 years of history packed into this Virtual Walking Tour. The beauty of the tour is that you can are on your own time schedule, accessing the most history, at the best price in Savannah. Once you have left Savannah, you can continue to take the tour on your phone to catch up on any stops you missed.

Q: Why is each stop viewed within a 360 degree surround photo?

A: Each individual stop has points of interest within that stop. It may be haunted home, or a sacred spot. The information buttons or tabs (hot spots) are placed in those areas of the image. You simply touch the button and your video appears or vitage photo, etc. You can go in-depth with each stop or just skim a few history buttons and move on.

Q: Why is this tour so affordable? If the other tours cost five times more?

A: If you want to pay more I am happy to receive it! Actually there are two reasons. History belongs to everyone. You should only have to pay a modest price for such. Lastly, I simply offer the best opportunity of a tour because I love what I do by providing the best possible product of a tour that is available. Also, I seek to make tour entertaining as well!

Q: Are you licensed? How do I know you know your stuff?

A: Yes, I am a licensed tour guide #1375 with the City of Savannah. It is not needed any more to have a license so you must be careful that you are not hiring a guide that is virtually making up his history. I am more than a guide, my ancestors came to Charleston back in 1734. Both my Grandfather and Father were born in Savannah. My Grandfather was the first mechanic for Henry Ford.
