"My favorite thing I did during our trip to Savannah! It’s great for Flannery fans obviously but also worthwhile for anyone even mildly interested in history."

"Of all the classic tourist activities in Savannah, Tybee Island, etc., this was by far my favorite...the exhibits were fascinating and so helpful. It was the closest I have gotten to personally meeting the woman who has profoundly shaped me. In doing so, I met part of myself."

This tour was our favorite of all in Savannah! It was different and interesting to see a 20th century home tour versus the usual 19th century...Can't recommend this enough--everyone enjoyed it--even those who didn't know anything about O'Connor. We're all reading her stories now!
