What people are saying about Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum

Our guide Neil was amazing! Being a Savannah native, he had personal stories and insights that taught us so much about Savannah’s history in many respects. Additionally, our pub crawl allowed us to go to local dive bars and experience Savannah in an unique, authentic way. We so enjoyed our time with Neil & when we’re back, we’ll be choosing this company again!

Gregg was the best!! He was very knowledgeable of Savannah’s history AND kept us so entertained as he talked to us about the history.

Neil was THE BOMB!! He made all of us feel safe and comfortable. 10/10 would do again and definitely would recommend!

The tour was great but navigating the website was difficult.

It's a great tour with fun, knowledgeable & patient guides!
