About this activity

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. Explore the neatly paved squared, hemmed by grand mansions, adorned with wooden shutters keeping in some of their long-hidden secrets.

Your tour ends with a leisurely light bite and drink, where your guide will happily share their favourite hotspots and hidden gems for you to enjoy during the rest of your time in the city.
