    The Slavery to Freedom Tour was the highlight of our time in Savannah, a "must-do" on any visit to this beautiful city. Sista Pat is a treasure; she is passionate, positive, energetic, and committed to presenting the often untold side of Savannah's history. We were entertained, inspired and energized by her personal and historical tales, her humor, her song and ceremony, and her commitment to both past and future generations. She is a precious storyteller. We were warmly welcomed at the Gray Line office. There is restroom access and a lovely bistro next door for snacks and beverages to take along. Don't miss this excellent tour.
