About this activity

Fun, original, uncensored history walk for grown ups. Forget the tourist tales and discover the true stories of Savannah and her people.

Scandalous, sad, surreal, funny: this is real history. Learn Savannah's colorful hidden stories on this unique tour. Ages 16 and up.

Using source materials, we bring vivid characters from the past off of the dusty page, brilliantly into life.

We explore vaults and secret tunnels, stroll historical parks, view the finest antebellum mansions and find hidden gems of Savannah’s past - places few locals know about or ever see.

We discuss colonial times through the revolutionary war and civil war.

Dogs are welcome on a leash. Bring water, bug repellent and comfy shoes. Check the weather and prepare. We tour in rain, heat, snow, everything.

Highlights:

90 minute exploration with an expert local guide
Uncover centuries of Savannah's fascinating past
