Brandon CARTER
EXPERIENCE AMBASSADOR
Brandon brings over fifteen years of guide experience to Bespoke. A former National Park Service Park Ranger, Brandon was voted Best Tour Guide in Savannah by Connect Savannah's readers. Though he spends most of his day behind a desk as a Legal Ethics attorney (he knows, an oxymoron for sure), he is constantly preparing for his next tour. Brandon is as comfortable giving recommendations for the city's finest bourbon pours, vegan restaurants, or duck confit as he is discussing the 1779 Siege of Savannah. Quickwitted and always up for a good time, you'll find Brandon to be even funnier when taking advantage of Savannah's lack of open container laws.
Colonial Heights, TN
Window - One of my favorite shows is Aerial America, so no surprise I love identifying landmarks and cities from the air.
As a history nerd, people are frequently surprised to learn the bloodiest hour of the entire American Revolution took place right here in Downtown Savannah. The small sliver of preserved battlefield is an incredibly moving place.
After attending services at historic Independent Presbyterian Church, our weekly tradition is brunch at Clary's (I'm more of a lunch guy, so the club sandwich is my go-to). We tend to stroll a few miles through the Squares, then visit a rooftop bar to cool down a bit. Our Sunday evenings typically end at Moon River Brewing where we fiercely defend out bar trivia title!
My own personal pre-trip research & itinerary. I'm one of those overly thorough planners. I often plan trip activities to the half-hour. My personal travel mantra: "If you plan more things, you get to do more things."
It's hot. You're going to be gross from all that walking around town, but remember, everyone else is just as sweaty! In other words, we don't worry about appearances here. That guy at the dive bar wearing shorts and a T-shirt is most likely a local. Feel free to dress comfortably!
History and libations through Europe. Battlefields and museums with whiskey, beer, and wine sprinkled in.
Savannah is nothing short of amazing. From the history to the food to the scenery, I'm privileged to make a living out of showing off this unique place!
