“White Washing History”

This app largely skipped the multiple historical sites dedicated to Slavery in the city. In one it has Sherman’s HQ and labels the Civil War as “the war between the States,” a tell-tale of the “Lost-Cause” mythology.

Great Tour!

Perfect for the pandemic when we are trying to avoid crowds. The narrative was interesting and just the right length at each stop, not too long. I would highly recommend.

Well worth it as a resource

I would agree that the map in this app is not true to scale...the distance from River St. to Forsyth Park is very deceiving. If you like to walk, it's not a big deal. However, if not, you will find yourself hoofing it much further than planned. We took a trolley tour from the visitor's center to get the lay of the city and than walked back to the places we were interested in, using the stops on this app to tell us more about the area. The information given at each stop is a broad overview of the important buildings at each square, the significance of statues in the square and how each came to be named...all backed with "period background sound effects". We are very independent travelers, preferring to see a city at our own pace so this app was perfect for us. And we tried to download the walking tour from Geogad first...which I could never get to work. This worked without freezing or crashing. It does take awhile to download if downloading directly to the device.
This app would get 5 stars if it included information on Forsyth Park, an area that I consider to be a major tourist destination in the Savannah area.
