Q: Is there a minimum age requirement for the Johnny Mercer Tour?

A: Yes, you can reschedule! Just give them at least 48 hours' notice. They’re pretty flexible and want everyone to enjoy the tour. If you need to change your date, just reach out via email or their website.

Just booked the Johnny Mercer Tour for my parents' anniversary!

I’m so excited! My parents are huge fans of classic music, and I think they’ll love the Johnny Mercer Tour in Savannah. It’s a great way to learn about local history, and they get candy canes too! Anyone else done this? Any tips?

Thinking about gifting the Johnny Mercer Tour to my brother and his wife!

I came across this tour while researching Savannah experiences. It sounds like a fun mix of history and music. Plus, it’s free! Has anyone been on it? What are your thoughts on how long it lasts?
