    Great morning

    We had a wonderful historic dog walk in Savannah. April was a great guide and is an even better human being, I met her elsewhere a few days later and she was so lovely. The new store is beautiful and Norman had the best time playing with Ollie B and Abbie. Thanks for the fun and the treatos!

    Fun learning experience

    Great way to see Savannah and entertain the dog! Hard to find good experiences for all and this one did it. Tour guide was knowledgeable. Enjoyable for all!~

    Informative and Fun

    This tour was better than advertised. Our guide was knowledgeable, humorous and very good at telling the story of Savannah. This was our first time in the city and we chose this tour over all of the others that are available and we have zero regrets. Our dog, Grace, enjoyed the walk and sniffing all the new smells along the way. We recommend this tour.

    An Immersive Experience

    We had an amazing tour today through the streets of Savannah with Eric! The pups enjoyed the journey as much as we did. It was educational and entertaining. Savannah is a beautiful and memorable place. We recommend this tour to everyone, especially pup lovers!

    Great time for pets and people

    A fantastic way to start the day in Savannah. Lots of great information, a lovely route, and lots of consideration for dogs needing a quick potty or water break. Our dog also loved the complimentary treats at the end.

    Great deg walk and tour of Savannah!

    Two hours, dog friendly. Stops with the pack for water and treats. Information about history of Savannah. Well worth the money and time, plus my girl Dallas loved being with friends.

    If you are a history buff, take this tour!

    If you aren’t really into history. You ought to REALLY,REALLY take this tour! Eric is a self proclaimed history nerd, an excellent story teller and a caring dog dad to boot! Do not hesitate to go on this walking tour with (or without) Fido!

    Fantastic Tour and Tour Guide!

    The Tour Guide was amazing and was so knowledgeable about Savannah's history. We had a fabulous time and our furbaby enjoyed his tour, his treats and meeting new friends! Definitely recommend even if you don't have a furbaby!

    A Great Tour to Sniff Out Savannah

    While exploring tours to do in Savannah prior to arrival, I came across this tour as we were hunting for a tour we could take our 13-pound Cocoa on. We were staying at Skidaway Island State Park so could not leave her at the campsite. We also wanted a factual historical tour. We got it all! Our dog (and the other larger dogs that were also on the tour) were all very good and so were their companions. Cocoa immediately knew who was in charge and kept up with him. Our guide did a great job of telling us about the city and buildings, standing us out of the sun and other pedestrians while talking to us, greeting all the dogs and being mindful of their needs, being aware of walking needs, and just giving a terrific tour. I highly recommend this tour.

    Highly Recommend

    It's not always easy to find dog friendly attractions or activities when traveling (other than dog parks) so I was super pleased to find this dog friendly tour for quick stop in Savannah while on vacation with my pomsky. The pace was very reasonable with plenty of stops to learn about historic points of interest; overall it lasted just less than 2 hours. It's also nice that it starts at 9 am before the heat of the day really hits. There is a stop at about the half way point in Forsyth Park where there is a dog water fountain for refreshment. I wish every city had a walking tour like this!

    Wonderful Tour!

    We learned so many interesting facts about the history of Savannah that you would never read in a history book. Our tour guide was not only incredibly knowledgable about the city but also very accommodating and goes at your pup's pace. Ripley our German Shepherd really liked him and absolutely loved the treats she was gifted at the end of the tour. She gives this tour 4 paws up!

    Best walking tour with your best friend

    We had a great time on Oliver Bentleys dog walk historical tour. We learned alot of cool historical facts and just really submerged into the beauty of this city! So glad we did it. The pace of the tour was great and there was plenty of shade from the gorgeous oaks. This is a tour you will regret not taking!

    Great tour!

    Eric was a perfect guide. We enjoyed learning about the history of Savannah while touring with our dog. The Oliver Bentley treats were a nice perk! We also did a trolley tour while visiting, but realized how nice it was to stand next to a site while hearing an explanation from Eric instead of quickly driving by with obstructed views. Highly recommend!

    Fantastic historical tour for dogs and humans

    This was the 4th tour I have done in the city and by far the best.
    We had 6 dogs in our group and everyone got along: The amount of information given was insane. Even if you don’t bring your pup I would join in with this group. This was a wonderful way to spend our morning.

    Beyond Expectations

    highly recommend taking time to explore Savannah in this wonderful opportunity with your pup. Extremely kind, friendly & most importantly lovable to our Theodore. We learned so so much history of the city and had the opportunity to do so with our dog, it simply couldn’t have been better.

    Not just for Dog owners!

    This was one of if not the best tour we have ever done in any city. If you love history, dogs, a good laugh while seeing parts of a historic city you don’t know much about…. then this is a tour for you. We had a amazing time on our tour today and would gladly do it again. It’s not a long tour, it’s designed for all sizes of dogs and take into account the behaviors of dogs when they meet new people so they have a chance to relax and enjoy the tour also! 5 bones is not enough for this experience!

    We had a nice 2 hour tour this morning with Eric. He was so knowledgeable of Savannah history, and made it feel like he was telling us a story. There were 2 dogs on the tour and they had a great time sniffing and walking around too! We highly recommend the tour for a dog friendly activity in Savannah 👍🏻

    Amazing tour

    We took Luna on this tour and we all loved it. Our tour guide Eric made sure all of the dogs were comfortable with each other before we started the tour and pointed out place that were puppy friendly as we passed them. You learn a lot about the history of Savannah and Georgia in a very dog friendly way.

    Great History of Savannah Tour with Oliver Bentley's

    Eric was an excellent tour guide. He provided a great amount of historical information regarding Savannah. It was wonderful to bring my dog along on the adventure. Eric was patient with all the dogs. In particular, I have a brittany spaniel who is a little shy at first. Barks at new dogs. At 4 he was the old man of the group. We had bounding young dogs so we stayed on the outside (at first) . By the end of the walk OB had interacted with the entire group. We enjoyed our adventures with Eric.
    I would definitely take a tour with Eric again with or without a dog.
    Thank you Eric for a great time. Lori, Terry and OB

    Savannah must!

    We booked a private tour(because of timing driving into town). Eric took us around the town and Mulligan was the guest of honor. A slow winding beautiful walking tour. Stopped into a Scottish bar for a cocktail (you can walk with drinks in plastic container)Jammed pack with History, Mystery and Gorgeous old architecture and parks. One of the most dog friendly places we have ever been! Thank you for making us feel so welcome Eric!💙🐾💙🐾

    Must do for history, buffs and dog lovers

    I've been on a cross country tour with my two dogs and this has been my favorite experience. I loved hearing about the history of Savannah and the architecture but what I love the most was being able to do it with my dogs. Eric was knowledgeable and funny and you could tell he really loved the city and dogs. I would 100% do this this tour again. Even without my dogs!

    Oliver Bentleys Historic Dog Walk Tour

    Our pups had a pawsome time sniffing around historic Savannah, and we had a great time learning the history of the city and some of its squares. We've been on many tours in Savannah yet we still learned things we never heard before on this walking tour. It's also nice to have a tour guide who understands that having a dog along on a tour means stopping a lot to sniff and barking greetings at others. Eric and his dog, Abby, were great hosts and guides. And our pups appreciated the complimentary bag of treats after their long walk.

    Exceptional Tour and Fun Time

    We recently did a private tour with Eric with our two dogs (golden retriever and lab mix). The tour was fantastic on all levels. We learned so much history in the 2 hour time frame that I did not want it to end. Eric is a historian guru who provided a ton of history along with a lot of fun facts. It was a very stress free tour, even with 2 big dogs. I would highly recommend this group if you are in Savannah and looking to have some fun. Eric was super accommodating on the date and time as well.

    This tour was an amazing walk through 150 years of history with only 3 other parties in the group - much smaller than other walking tours. and the treats were great, too.

    This was a great walking tour of historic Savannah. Eric and Abby were our tour guides. Eric was very knowledgeable

    AMAZING deep dive into Savannah history!

    This is a fantastic tour!
    I highly recommend this walking tour through historic old town Savanna for you and your pups! Our tour guides Eric and Abby (4 legged) did an incredible job of walking us through the history of this incredible city. It’s the perfect way to learn about Savannah while you and your pups get some exercise. Eric is very knowledgeable on the detailed history of the city and you may even get some Olive Bentley’s treats at the end... which our dogs LOVED!! We will definitely be buying more of their treats! Thanks Eric for an incredible tour!!!

    This tour was great! We had been on a few dog friendly tours. Our guide Eric was definitely a dog person and did not let the habits of dogs distract him from our tour. He taught us how to appreciate the monuments and was very knowledgeable of Savannah’s history. He was also able to point us in the direction of all the dog friendly shops and restaurants in Savannah. Our pups loved the treats they got at the end!

    Great fun with your pooch and you get to learn about Savannah too!

    This is a fun way to learn a little of Savannah's history while hanging out with other dog folks and spending quality time with your four-legged baby. 100 years of history as you stroll through the beautiful squares. Our human and four-legged tour guides were wonderful. We had all sizes and ages from my 14 month old Great Dane to a chihuahua. Our "pack" got a lot of attention and it was a great end to our day. Keep in mind during the hottest summer months the tour is only available in the mornings but on our trip the weather was wonderful. I can vouch for the previous poster's story. We were all rooting for her senior dog who might have brought up the rear but was enjoying the trip right along with the rest of the pooches. Our tour guide did indeed take the senior pooch's mom to her car so she could come and pick him and avoid another extra long walk. Super service and would highly recommend the Dog Walk Tour for anyone visiting Savannah with their furry family members.

    Kansas Girl With Old Dog

    THis was very informative and interesting. We had nice weather so the dogs weren’t overheated. He went above and beyond to help me find my car and pickup my dog from his shop so he wouldn’t have to walk all the way to where I parked. My dog is 12 and walked very slow and everyone was so nice about waiting for us to catch up. Also you get free dog biscuits so with that and the education, it’s well worth the time

    Fantastic Tour!!!

    We were only in Savannah for a few days, so we needed to pick a GREAT tour to learn about the city. Glad I went with this one! Not only was it dog friendly, so my Blue Heeler, Blue, was more than welcome...but Eric was so informative! My two daughters (ages 7 and 12) even learned some stuff! My youngest was pointing out fish water spouts the day after and telling us what they were for! :) That’s impressive when you can get my 7 year old’s attention with a history tour! I definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to learn about this beautiful city...especially if your dog is in tow!

    Fascinating tour-Great For Pups

    Our tour guide was fantastic. He made the history of the city come alive. Honestly, even though it was a “dog” tour, I would have enjoyed it without our dog. Our dog had a blast and enjoyed sniffing out all of the sites, but we really enjoyed the experience too.

    Really Special

    I can’t recommend this highly enough. Eric is so knowledgeable and articulate-we learned a lot about Savannah. And he’s sensitive to the dogs on the tour. Our Jack Russell can be headstrong and Eric was so patient with him. And the treats! It was a wonderful couple of hours for all 3 of us.

    Historic Dog walking good time!

    We did this tour at the end of February 2019.
    This is such a great tour! We booked a private tour because our schedule with traveling didn't work well with there two usually timed tours. Eric was a great tour guide! He is very knowledgeable on Savannah's history. I learned so much while walking the beautiful historic downtown streets. All that we learned was very interesting. Our French bulldog loved looking around and sniffing around on the about 2 1/2 hour tour. Our Frenchie also loved the yummy Oliver and Bentley biscuits that we got complimentary at the end of the tour. I would Highly recommend this tour to anyone with a dog or anyone looking to hear Savannah's great history.

    Great Tour For Dogs!

    It’s been a month since our tour and I’m afraid I’ve forgotten the names of our tour guide, tour dog, and host, but they were all great! It was a bit cold (January 31st? Cold? Who woulda guessed!), but we had a great tour nonetheless. We really enjoyed the beautiful historic buildings we saw on the tour and the Greyhounds loved the walk (and treats)! I’ll definitely do it again when I’m in Savannah! Hopefully on a nice cool Spring morning!

    Went on this tour with my cavalier, Princeton, while in Savannah a couple weeks ago and absolutely loved it! The tour was funny and informative, while getting to see all the beautiful parts of Savannah. At the end, each guest was given a bag of Ollie B treats which quickly became a favorite in my household. I would definitely recommend this tour to anybody who has a dog or is just a big fan of dogs.

    Something for Everyone

    If I could give this tour a higher rating I would! My wife and I love Savannah and have gone on a couple of tours but this was the first time we brought our puppy. My wife LOVES history so I bought this for her thinking at least I'd have the dog to keep me company while she geeked out over history. I ended up having the best time! I learned SO much and it was interesting, well organized, and entertaining. I read somewhere that it was supposed to be a 90 minute tour but we were having such a great time it lasted almost 2 1/2 hours which I thought was really refreshing because most tour guides stick to a script and treat you like a number. This tour is NoT at all like that! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! They even gave us a map of all the dog friendly places in Savannah to help plan the rest of our trip.

    Great tour but needs a few things changed

    We would like to give this tour a 3.5 bone review. We took this tour yesterday with our two dogs. Our guide was very informative and shared some great stories about the history of Savannah. However, they did not supply water for our pups or us and did not encourage us to bring any. It was a hot day in July and this was very much needed. It would be helpful to include stops on the tour where the pups can grab a drink of water-outside of stores or restaurants where we actually happen to find a dog bowl of water one time through out the tour. I had to ask for the pups to receive water at the end. The guide's dog was sweet, but barked at every square we went to and had a hard time standing still which seemed to distract all of us, but you can't always control what your dog is going to do. It was really nice to include the bag of dog treats at the end of the tour as part of your tour cost. Our pup really enjoys the treats! Our suggestions for the future would be to make sure to include water and pit stops for water/rest breaks especially on a hot day and potentially incorporate a relationship with local stores/restaurants as part of the tour and stops.

    Great Tour

    We had a great time and learned a lot about Savannah and Georgia in general. Things I never learned in any American History class. We went at the pace of the dogs (just 2 plus our tour guide) and the dogs had a fun time as well. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants a close up tour of the city.

    Ces la vie

    4/5 because the tour dog Riley bit our 4 month old puppy causing lacerations around his eye! The puppy is fine just spooked. The dog walk itself was great, very informative, nice pace, very friendly and dog-loving people. Still a positive review because the owners can’t help an otherwise well-behaved ambassador dog and they were shocked by Riley’s behavior. The owner Eric offered a full refund, which was noble and appreciated. Maybe communicate ahead of time if you have a puppy but would recommend.

    Fun for everyone

    Savannah is so rich with history, that a tour is highly recommended. This tour was perfect for us, just traveling through with 2 kids and a dog. Kids were really engaged in all the stories, and collectively we all learned a lot. I also really enjoyed walking vs riding, really felt we could look around and take in the sights.

    A Tail Wagging Tour of Historic Savannah

    We had a great time on the dog walking tour! Our dog is young and full of energy and lives being around other dogs, there was time for the dogs to get to know each other before going on the tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about Savannah and walked at a great pace for all of the dogs on the tour. We loved that the tour gave us so much history and gave our dog the time to be social! At the end our dog got some really great treats and we got a dog friendly map of Savannah’s stores and restaurants!
    We would highly recommend this to any fellow travelers with four legged friends!

    Special Treat for human and pup

    As a history buff enchanted by the town of Savannah, this tour was one of the highlights of my visit. I was so excited to bring my pup and enjoy time with fellow dog lovers and a great tour guide(have to double check if I remember the name correctly. I think it was Eric)! We were greeted with a pack of local fresh dog treats and we loved the tour of the various squares and monuments. Lots of really interesting facts along the way. I am so grateful I got to know the town in a deeper way as a result of the tour. My dog loved time with me and I didn’t have to sacrifice time with her for a great tour! Would HIGHLY recommend. Thanks again to Oliver Bentley’s!

    Mixed Feelings

    After all 5-bone reviews I am hesitant to write this, but here goes anyway. First the positives: This tour was without a doubt extremely informative. We were given so much history and so many interesting and fun facts about Savannah's past--things we never would have learned on our own. There is no way we will remember it all! Our guide was very professional and knowledgeable; a very nice guy. Also, we were the only ones on the tour, so it turned into a private tour, but that's a split between positive and negative because we really would have enjoyed the dynamics of more people and pups, and might have rescheduled had we known. Now the not-so-positive (but not terrible points). As odd as it may seem, we didn't get the impression that our guide (not Lisa as many others have mentioned) was a real "dog person," and beyond allowing them to come along, the tour didn't really accommodate our dogs at all. Yes, they could pee along the way, but there was no point in the tour where there was a "anybody need to go potty break?" moment. Those moments were more an interruption to the tour than a planned part of the tour. Also, there was no consideration for a water break and again, we felt like it would be an interruption to stop long enough to give our pups water. It was a cool day, so we weren't worried, but by the end of the tour, they were definitely thirsty. This tour was like any other tour that allows dogs, and since we do only dog friendly activities when we travel, we have been on many of those, so we are used to that. The thing is, we were expecting this tour to be different, more inclusive of our dogs needs, so it was disappointing. The tour was 2 hours (30 minutes longer than expected). To be fair, we were held up twice--once for some dog lovers that couldn't resist meeting the pups and once because we very surprisingly crossed paths with a former colleague from home! So that explains a bit of the overtime. As much as we appreciated all we learned and saw, for us, less would have been better. We would have preferred the expected 90-minute tour that allowed time for potty breaks, water breaks, photo opportunities (which also felt like an interruption), and minor unexpected pauses in the walk. If this tour wasn't advertised as being geared towards dogs, I would not have taken two bones off, but it was, and there-in lies the disappointment.

    Best walking tour ever!!

    Great walking tour and history lesson of Savannah Georgia. The guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the city. His 4 legged assistant was very helpful with leading the other dogs around during the tour. The guide also provided a bag of all natural treats for each of the dogs in attendance. An overall great experience. If you're ever in Savannah with your dog, this is a "must do" tour.

    Wonderful, interesting tour

    We took the tour with our Goldendoodle Annie on Jan 23. What a great experience. We had the opportunity to learn some history of Savannah that you could never receive on the trolleys. Our tour leader was very professional and certainly knew his Savannah history. We highly recommend this tour!

    Great sniffs

    The tour operator was very accommodating. We could not attend a public tour due to our own time restraints, so he set up a private tour in the morning! Great service and we learned a lot. My dog enjoyed all the sniffs :)

    So much fun!

    I took this tour with my 9 y/o greyhound after moving to Savannah as a way to get acquainted with the historic district. We had the best time! Our human guide was super knowledgeable, and my dog got along great with her canine "assistant." A really wonderful, entertaining, and informative experience. Highly recommend!

    What Fun!

    May, 2017. Oliver Bentley's dog walk tour is so much fun. Lisa and Abby were our human and dog, very experienced, tour guides. The tour took us around the historic portion of Savannah, including many of the parks. Lisa is so knowledgeable and engaging! Because of the high aftn temperatures, we requested an early morning tour and Oliver B's was exceptionally accommodating. A bag of Oliver's food grade treats were given for both our dogs. Highly recommend.

    5 star

    We were traveling with our dog Jack and didn't know how we could tour Savannah. Well! We found Oliver Bentley's dog tour and it was a highlight of our trip. Our docent was fantastic and we had a ball. We visited 7 squares and learned the histrory of each....very interesting and an excellent presentation.

    Perfect!

    Absolutely a great way to see the city / old town and hear the wonderful history. A very personal tour and the four legged ones will certainly have a blast! Highly, highly recommended.

    Wonderful Tour

    Beautiful walk with the dogs with some historical substance. Travelling with dogs sometimes limits what you learn about a place and I wish there were more options like this in cities with histories to tell. Thank you Lisa and Abbey! I will recommend to every travelling dog owner I know.

    Four paws up!

    If visiting Savannah with your furry family member this tour is a must! Before the tour began the owner, Eric, came out to meet us which I found to be very nice and made the tour feel more personal. Our tour guide, Lisa, was fantastic and very knowledgeabl, able to answer all of our questions. Hercules also loved his guide, Abbie girl, who showed him all the best places to sniff. We visited two weeks after Hurricane Matthew moved through so we ended up be the only people on the tour, which was nice, because it felt more like a stroll through the town with the locals than a guided tour. We all loved the tour and highly recommend it and if you can visit in October, we went at the end of October and it was beautiful. Hercules also loved the complimentary treats!!

    Fun for the entire family!

    We scheduled a private tour because we were unsure how our three dogs would act around other people and dogs. Both Eric, the owner, and Lisa, our tour guide, were very pleasant and accommodating. Lisa did a great job of explaining the history of Savannah, as well as pointing out famous movie spots (Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil). Each of the dogs was also provided a small 'walk a bout' bag of cookies. Both humans and dogs enjoyed themselves! I would highly recommend this tour!

    Highly Enjoyable

    I took the tour with my chocolate lab, Linus. First of all, my tour had to be rescheduled because of a conflict of some kind and the owner, Eric, was extremely nice and accommodating about it. I ended up being able to do it the very next day. On the downside, the store was closed so no biscuits. I was also the only one on the tour that day so it was nice having a private tour all to myself, but as a dog lover I got to admit that I was looking forward to seeing some other dogs. Anyway, my guide was very knowledgeable and upbeat. I learned a lot of the more obscure histories of Savannah that you don't hear mentioned in other tours or guide books. It was all very interesting and a very pleasant walk. :)

    This tour is a definite must when visiting Savannah! Munchkin had a great time and followed right along with our tour guide, Riley. And the treats are a bonus too!

    awesome

    Read about the walk on bring fido. We LOVED it, and so did our German Shepherd! I highly recommend the historic walk for anyone with or without their furry family! A bag of dog treats is included!

    Great Experience at Oliver Bentleys

    We decided that on our recent trip to Savannah that our dog, Monty, would go with us. Oliver Bentleys was on our list of businesses to visit and finding out about the tour was icing on the cake. We We booked the tour, but the guide was sick and unable to make it. Since that was our last day in town, Eric, the owner, wanted to make it up to us. He refunded our money and gave us a tin of his treats along with the normal bag that you get on the tour. He and Ollie B, the face of the company, walked around town with our family and Eric showed us some of the things he loves about the city as well as great places to eat that were accommodating to dogs. We had a fantastic time and couldn't believe that he took time out of his busy day as a small business owner to make us feel like we were his only customers!

    I don't write reviews - so you know this must be good!

    Ok, go for the tour and stay for the biscuits! First, more than anything, the service at Oliver Bentley's is exemplary. Second, the tour is a fantastic historic walking tour of Savannah that will give you and your pup some great exercise while learning about the city as you would on other tours while at the same time talking about dog specific interests as well. Not to mention, because Ollie B's isn't one of those historic tour chains, you may get your tour guide all to yourself…as we did! It was fantastic for us and our dog…who was tuckered out at the end of the tour and crashed hard back in our hotel room while we went out for a relaxing dinner. Finally, don't forget to pick yourself up a couple pounds of their biscuits…our dog is a nut for them and I am sure yours will be too.
