History of Savannah Walking Tour
Overview
Available languages
1 hour 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
This tour is intentionally designed as a small-group experience so guests can enjoy a more personal and engaging exploration of Savannah’s Historic District. Rather than rushing from stop to stop, we take time to understand how Savannah’s unique city plan, historic squares, and landmarks shaped its development from 1733 onward.
Because group sizes are limited, guests can comfortably hear, ask questions, and interact throughout the tour. The pace is relaxed with frequent shaded stops, making it ideal for visitors who want depth and storytelling without feeling hurried. It’s not just about seeing Savannah — it’s about understanding it.

5.00This is a very good tour to get to know Savannah. Sarah was very knowledgeable and invited questions in addition to her prepared tour information. She was able to easily answer any questions we had. Most of the stops were shady, as is a lot of the city.

Small group walking tour

5.00We had an excellent walking tour with Sarah on Saturday morning. The smaller group size made it easy for all of us to hear Sarah clearly and to ask her plenty of questions as we went. Sarah is very knowledgeable and fills her tour with a perfect blend of historical facts and fun to know anecdotes, as well as a few personal experiences. We very much enjoyed our morning with her!
