Dirk's walking tour was the highlight of my trip to Savannah! I traveled to Savannah on a girl's trip with 3 of my friends...we all agreed that the Walking tour with Dirk was such a pleasure. Dirk's knowledge is unbelievable and he has a wonderful way of making the city come to life. I would encourage everyone to make Dirk's... More

Dirk is the best!! His knowledge of the architecture of the homes in Savannah is amazing!! He has first hand experience in the restoration of many of the homes. You can't help but get excited because his love for the area comes through every aspect of the tour. It is so refreshing--he hasn't just rehearsed someone else's research--he has done... More

We took the Savannah Rambles Walking Tour with Dirk Hardison. He is an architect and had taken part in some of the preservation work around town. He was very professional, very knowledgable and such a nice guy! This walking tour was the best part of our trip by far! He is the best. I would recommend it to anyone!! Dirk... More

Dirk is an excellent guide! My two sisters and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour despite the rain. Dirk is so knowledgable about both the history and architecture of Savannah. This tour was definitely one of the highlights of our weekend in Savannah.

We visited Savannah in early May on the spur of the moment. Our two dogs came with us. When looking for things to do, we came upon Savannah Rambles, an architectural walking tour, which would allow our dogs to accompany us. Even though it was last minute, they were able to take us and we had a private session with... More

Believe the reviews about Dirk. He really knows his architecture and gave us great insight into Savannah. We saw the buildings in ways we would have never seen them. It was a gorgeous day and we covered a lot of ground in the historic center of this charming southern city. We hope we can remember everything we learned.

Our group of 6 women from all over the US really enjoyed this tour. We did this on our first morning in Savannah, and it was a great way to begin our visit. Dirk is knowledgeable about both the architecture and the history of Savannah, and provided interesting and detailed stories about a well-selected variety of sites. He also provided... More

This was a wonderful tour of Savannah with emphasis on the architecture of houses and buildings. Everything Dirk spoke of was so interesting and once he pointed out details and explained it, it all made so much sense. He spent just enough time at each location with wonderful insight. My husband is in the building business and also found his... More

Thank you for the great review! Savannah never ceases to amaze me even after all these years - so many authentic historic structures within the context of a real city. I am indeed privileged to be able to show it to people. More

Our architecture walking tour with Savannah Rambles was the highlight of our visit of Savannah, and we were glad that it was the first thing we did while we were there. Not only did we get an overview of historic Savannah, we also got great suggestions on what else to do and to see, and where to eat. Dirk was... More

I have gone on several walking tours all over the U.S., and this was by far the best I've experienced. My boyfriend and I take turns picking the walking tours when we travel, and this tour turned out to be a perfect blend of history and architecture-- a definite plus, because while I love architecture, my boyfriend is much more...
