Savannah, Georgia is a charming Southern with a Historic District of cobblestone streets and grand antebellum houses. Savannah is home to diverse communities that are waiting to be explored, delicious food, vibrant nightlife and beautiful architecture set against a backdrop of Spanish moss and Southern charm.
Your tour begins at the beginning of the city, where your guide will recount Savannah’s founding and evolution over more than three centuries, remnants of which are present throughout. As you pass balconied mansions, dripping with bougainvillaea and share the road with horse-drawn carriages, you’ll experience why this Georgian city is an American favourite.

5.00Our guide Arthur provided our four-member group an outstanding experience. His expansive knowledge of Savannah, informed by both his lifetime experience in the city and formal degree in history was impressive and engaging. Arthur’s pace was relaxed and inviting of our many questions along the way. We booked this tour to learn as much as we could about this beautiful and historically rich city. Arthur delivered beyond our expectations.

5.00Arthur was amazing as our private tour guide! He stayed fully engaged with all five of us and was very knowledgeable. Arthur was a gentlemen and even gave his jacket to one of us when it was cold. Learning about the squares was fascinating. We highly recommend Arthur as a guide.

5.00KT was knowledgeable both of the history of Savannah and of where we could get a drink that night. Walking tour was at a good pace and called out a number of historic spots. The root beer float halfway through was icing on the cake. KT was an excellent guide for a Savannah first timer and would highly recommend her!
