Our Savannah History Walk is an excellent way to orient yourself with Savannah’s past. We start in Savannah’s oldest square and outline the founding of both Savannah and Georgia. From there we head south, square by square, discussing Savannah’s booms and busts. Some topics covered include the Oglethorpe Plan for squares, the father vs. son atmosphere of Revolutionary Savannah, the city’s most famous duel, Presidential visits, the Civil War era and Federal occupation, the experience of Antebellum and post-War African Americans, and the city’s churches and historic homes. We’ll take our talk right up to the tourist boom brought on by a certain book, the growing Port of Savannah, and where the city goes from here. You’ll also hear about dozens of men and women who made this place what it is. This is Savannah's most in-depth and comprehensive historic tour. Whether a tourist or longtime resident, you’ll walk away with a greater appreciation of all things Savannah.

Q: Is this tour good for someone who's not into history?

A: Absolutely! The tour is super engaging and the guide makes history come alive. Even if you're not a history buff, the stories and anecdotes are really entertaining. Plus, Savannah's such a beautiful city to explore on foot. It’s casual and fun!

Thinking of gifting the Historic Savannah Walking Tour - any advice?

Hey everyone! I’m considering gifting the Historic Savannah Walking Tour to my mom for her birthday. She loves exploring cities and learning about their history. I heard it starts in the oldest square and covers a lot of ground. Does anyone have any tips or thoughts about it? How long is the tour usually? Thanks!

Just did the Historic Savannah Walking Tour – it was awesome!

I just got back from the Historic Savannah Walking Tour and wow, it was fantastic! Our guide was super knowledgeable and made the history of Savannah feel alive. We even saw some spots I had walked by a million times without knowing their significance. If you’re thinking of going, definitely do it! Also, wear comfortable shoes—you’ll be on your feet a lot!
