A great way to get to know Savannah, Georgia, is with the aid of someone who lives there and knows the city's history. With the help of traveler reviews and editor analysis, U.S. News selected Savannah's best guided tours, some of which focus on the city's architecture, others on its food and some on its ghostly residents . Whether you're walking through the Historic District or riding a Segway through a storied cemetery, you'll gain an insider's perspective on Savannah's top attractions , culture and folklore on these tours.

Editor’s Pick: Gray Line Savannah – Savannah Land & Sea Tour

Price: Adults from $74; kids from $36 Duration: 3 hours

U.S. News independently paid to send Tanvi Chauhan , a travel writer and book author based in Savannah, on this tour to provide readers with an unbiased, first-hand perspective of what to expect. Gray Line Savannah – Savannah Land & Sea Tour was selected by our team as an Editor’s Pick thanks to its popularity and favorable user reviews.

The combination tour offers an excellent way to both begin and conclude your day in the city. The land tour takes place aboard an open trolley bus, with a driver who also serves as your tour guide. Commencing at the Georgia State Railroad Museum, the tour proceeds through numerous renowned landmarks, including the iconic Forsyth Park , the historic Harper Fowlkes House and the infamous Sorrel-Weed House . You'll also see attractions featured in the New York Times bestseller "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil," such as Clary’s Café, and locations from "Forrest Gump," like Chippewa Square. The bus tour covers the historic district and a portion of River Street only. Popular districts like the Plant Riverside District, the newly developed Eastern Wharf and nonhistoric areas like Starland are not included on the tour. Guides are expert narrators with extensive knowledge of historical periods, especially in the Revolutionary War, Civil War and slave trade history. Due to the fast pace from one location to another, not much in-depth information is provided about any given landmark, making it best suited for travelers interested in a general overview.

The boat tour offers a unique perspective of the city skyline compared to the bus tour. Onboard the Georgia Queen, visitors receive a narrated tour by the captain, covering the history of the Savannah River, the Fort Jackson National Monument (which is visible along the route) and a deeper exploration of the Savannah port's economics.

Why we love it:

The tour guide may highlight minute details often overlooked in other, more generic tours. Traveling with guide John, for instance, offers casual learning opportunities about Webb Military Museum, the American Legion, the Kessler Mansion, the Gingerbread House, and the Victorian-style Forsyth Animal Hospital, along with amusing anecdotes about Sir Henry Ellis, after whom the Ellis Square is named.
While meals are not provided on the boat tour, there is a bar with concessions available on both the inside and outside decks. Plus, opting for the 3:30 p.m. tour increases your chances of spotting dolphins (for free), as they're more active in late afternoon.
The optimal way to experience this tour is to begin with a land tour at 9:30 a.m., which concludes at 11 a.m. You can request the driver to drop you off at any point on their loop for lunch at the end of the tour (consider trying the renowned Mrs. Wilkes Dining Room, open Monday to Friday only). After lunch, explore the city squares and make your way back to River Street to catch the 3:30 p.m. boat tour. The river tour typically finishes just as River Street and the adjacent Plant Riverside District come alive with live music, seafood restaurants, bars and vibrant activity.

Savannah Attractions

Savannah is a true mecca for American history buffs. The city boasts 300 years of history spanning the time of native American tribal habitation through British settlement, the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, and on into the industrial era as Savannah grew into Georgia’s largest port. Six designated historic districts, cobblestone streets, colonial-era churches and cemeteries , grand Victorian homes, riverboat cruises , and carriage rides take visitors back in time to the city that was the southernmost commercial port of the original 13 American Colonies.

The Savannah Downtown Historic District dates to pre-Civil War times and features a street plan laid out by General James Oglethorpe, who arrived in February 1733 with a group of settlers to found the city and the colony of Georgia in the name of King George II of England. Making up most of Downtown Savannah, the Historic District features 22 park-like squares , 4 of which were laid out by Oglethorpe as part of the original city plan.

Most of these squares are named in commemoration of an important person or event and many contain monuments, statues, plaques, or other markers. Surrounded by 1 7th and 18th century homes and commercial buildings in one of the largest urban historic districts in the United States, and all within a half-mile square area, Savannah’s squares make for a perfect walking tour .

With so much history on offer, Savannah teems with sites of significance. You can visit immaculately restored 18th-century merchants’ mansions dating to the days when cotton, indigo, and silk production gave the city an important position in global trade. Old churches abound—the Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist , a Savannah icon that dates back to 1859, has 81 stained glass windows, 16 gargoyles, and was the first brick building in Georgia. Take in the atmosphere of River Street, site of so much history, and see the original warehouses along the riverfront, now home to art galleries, eateries, and entertainment spots.

The Savannah City Market, a vintage 1700s open-air market, attracts visitors with boutique shopping, many dining options, art galleries, and special event spaces. Take a walking tour to experience true Southern cooking or do a pub crawl . Ghost and mystery tours are another fun attraction in a city filled with very old cemeteries and buildings that have seen so much over the centuries. And scattered throughout the city you can find museums , heritage centers, and quirky interest points like the bench where Forrest Gump sat in the beloved Tom Hanks film.

Recommendations: The Best Things to Do in Savannah

Spending a day touring the city aboard a classic trolley car with hop-on, hop-off privileges that allow for exploration at your leisure is an excellent way to get an introduction to Savannah. Then make your way to the historic Savannah riverfront district as the afternoon ends for a riverboat dinner cruise or a sightseeing cruise downriver to Old Fort Jackson to see some of oldest and largest antique cannons in the US. The Savannah River gives access to the open Atlantic, and the riverfront ports have been foundational to the human and economic development of the city since the earliest days of settlement. A day like this on land and water gives the visitor a true feel for the city and its long history.

Weather permitting, Tybee Island , also known as Savannah’s beach, is a great place to spend a day. Gentle waves, excellent seashell collecting, a fishing pier, seafood shacks, birds and wildlife, and the first lighthouse on the Southern Atlantic coast are a few highlights. Take a cruise to spot dolphins and view historic sites along the river and coastline. Combined with a tour of the historic district, it’s a great way to spend a day in the fresh air and see some of the top Savannah attractions.

Savannah is ideally positioned for day trips, with South Carolina and Florida both within easy reach. Take a ride up to Charleston South Carolina to soak in more of the Southland with Civil War history, plantation tours, classic homes, great seafood and much more. Or go up to Hilton Head Island for beautiful beaches, legendary golf courses, dolphin watching, sunset cruises, and all types of fun on land and water. Southward, you will find Jacksonville Florida and the ancient town of St. Augustine where Spanish explorers first established a foothold on the North American continent.

Compliance status

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation.

Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Disability profiles supported in our website

Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.
Cognitive Disability Mode: this mode provides different assistive options to help users with cognitive impairments such as Dyslexia, Autism, CVA, and others, to focus on the essential elements of the website more easily.
ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.
Keyboard Navigation Profile (Motor-Impaired): this profile enables motor-impaired persons to operate the website using the keyboard Tab, Shift+Tab, and the Enter keys. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.

10 Best Tours in Savannah

Compact, but so full of history, Savannah is a near-perfect city to tour. Most of it is eminently walkable, and there's a cinematic ambience surrounding the 18th century squares and evocative architecture, much of draped in Spanish moss. You can easily explore all of these in as much detail as you like. Then, of course there are food tours to show off the city's culinary scene , socially conscious tours to show off its complicated past, and after dark, ghost tours to show off its spooky secrets. Without further delay, these are our picks for the very best tours in Savannah, Georgia.

James Oglethorpe Statue in Chippewa Square Savannah. Georgia

Architectural Savannah Arrow

Architectural Savannah, which has been around since 2005, starts its 90-minute walking tours in Oglethorpe Square. There are several memorable houses, including the oldest cottage in Savannah and the wonderful Kehoe House (now a bed and breakfast). The standout, though, is the Owens-Thomas House. Anyone who wants to understand how Savannah developed and learn more about its main architectural styles will love these tours. The buildings reflect changing demographics and politics, and the guide brings charisma and zeal to the subject matter.

Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah Georgia

Bonaventure Don: History in Headstones Arrow

History in Headstones is a one-man operation and the passion project of Don, the guide, who embraces a conversational style over lectures. Fans of "Midnight In The Garden of Good and Evil" will love just being in this cemetery , which features heavily in the novel (and movie). Don’s expertise is also memorable; he brings to life the city’s history through the graves of its most famous residents, from Savannah’s founding through the Civil War and beyond.

Savannah Taste Experience: First Squares Food Tour Arrow

Among the plethora of food-focused tours in Savannah, First Squares Food Tour is one of the longest-running, with an emphasis on fun and variety rather than nerdy facts. The three-hour jaunt takes in a selection of some of downtown Savannah’s favorite eats, with quirkier dishes and a focus on international flavors. Half-a-dozen stops include items like shrimp and grits, a Southern classic, British savory pies, pork belly sliders, and gourmet raw honey.

Ghost City Tours: Beyond Good and Evil Tour Arrow

Savannah claims to be the most haunted city in America , so it is the perfect place for a ghost tour. Its brutal history and Southern Gothic atmosphere make for a perfect storm of weird and macabre. Of the dozens of ghost tours here, Beyond Good & Evil is one of the best established. Along a 90-minute walk, you'll learn all sorts of striking tales, including ones about people being buried alive in a graveyard, a "killer boy giant," and a haunted house known simply as "The Dark Place." If nothing else, it’s hard to pass up the the chance to take a guided walk around Savannah’s beautiful squares on a lovely moonlit night.

Bonnie Blue Tours: Lightly Sauced Arrow

This drinks tour, which has been operating since the mid-2010s, is a polished and professional operation with a natural, charismatic guide at the helm. It looks at Savannah's history through the lens of one of its most famous elements: drinks. Naturally, this is one of the more social tours; your group will plant down in restaurants and bars , and you're likely to feel an instant camaraderie with your fellow tourees as you sip madeira, mint juleps, and mead.

Savannah Riverboat Cruises Arrow

The city sprung up around the Savannah River, which still plays a large part in daily commercial life. Savannah Riverboat Cruises' two classic riverboats—The River Queen and the Georgia Queen, with capacities of 600 and 1,000 respectively—glide along the water for 90 minutes, visiting points of interest and serving up some tasty Southern treats. It's worth tuning into the cheery narration blaring from the speakers on the top deck and if you keep a sharp eye on the water, you might spot some dolphins.

Savannah Art Walk Arrow

Savannah Art Walk is a self-guided tour that takes place every Saturday. There’s a diverse range of art experiences and galleries, from smaller, independent places to larger outlets. The Tiffani Taylor Gallery, for instance, features the namesake artist's wonderfully vibrant works; the shopSCAD shows off dozens of works from students at the Savannah College of Art and Design . The final reception, at The Perry Lane Hotel , is a highlight, with drinks, a raffle, and more local art.

Savannah Bike Tours Arrow

Savannah Bike Tours meet on Habersham Street in the middle of the historic district, where you'll saddle up on a street cruiser. Dee, the tour guide, explains a few rules and safety points, and then it’s away you go to see the sights of downtown Savannah. This is a relaxed, easy tour that lends itself to all ages and abilities (you only cover about three miles over two hours), and because Savannah is a fairly flat city, there are no steep uphill climbs. The tour hits Savannah's most famous landmarks like Forsyth Park and mansions like the Hamilton Turner Inn .

Fountain in Johnson Square in Savannah Georgia

40 Acres and a Mule Arrow

40 Acres and a Mule is a very specific tour that looks at the lives and politics of the white elites throughout Savannah history as well as the struggles of the slaves in the area. The company sprung from the long-held passion of the guide, Fritz, a playwright who has studied and written about this subject for many years. The 90 minutes of walking through Savannah's downtown squares is for people that want delve deeper into the city’s (and the nation’s) history than the usual superficial trolley-type tours will allow.

Old Savannah Tours Arrow

Old Savannah Tours runs hop-on-hop-off tours that meander through Savannah’s downtown historic district. The charismatic drivers are trained guides who deliver entertaining and educational histories of the city. There are a bunch of trolley tours of Savannah, but Old Savannah stands out for its use of local "characters" to bring some of the stops to life. As the trolley draws up to various buildings, actors emerge playing figures like William Jay, the young British architect who designed some of the first townhouses, and Savannah's most famous fictional resident, Forrest Gump.

OLD TOWN TROLLEY TOURS

What Our Guests Are Saying

Mel bell…a fantastic conductor.

Mel Bell…a fantastic conductor!!! Spoke distinctly, was kind, considerate, funny, wonderful in all ways. If I visit Savannah again, I sure hope I get to ride her trolley again. She made my family and I seem like we were old friends with her in that short time we were riding with her…

It was the highlight of our trip!

A big shout out to Armando on the Old Town Trolley. It was a rainy day, but Armando made the sun shine with his animated and informative presentation. We had the best time ever on a trolley tour… It was the highlight of our trip!

Our family highly recommends this tour

Our tour guide Eric was so energetic!!! He made the tour! So knowledgeable about the city of Savannah and its history! He would burst into song on a whim and interacted with everyone. He kept 3 teenagers entertained for 90 minutes… Our family highly recommends this tour and if possible hop on his trolley bus!

Each time Brenda's tour was phenomenal

Thank you for providing Brenda as a tour guide… In our two days of utilizing your wonderful service, we were blessed to come across Brenda several times, and each time her tour was phenomenal. She is a great historian and storyteller, and by far the best tour guide we have had the pleasure to experience.

Well done tour guide!

We truly enjoyed the tour… but we must say it was made wonderful by our tour guide. He “narrated” the tour as someone who is reading a story. He was great!!! His tone and friendly manner made his knowledge shine even more. He gave us so much information, entertaining us, that we can’t believe he didn’t gasp for air to continue. Well done tour guide!!…

We will take this tour again

…We recently took a trip to Savannah with relatives from MN. We took a tour on the trolley with the intention of getting off and on multiple times. Our tour guide was so amazing and knowledgeable, that we stayed on the entire 90 min tour. Our guide was Will. He deserves to be recognized for his great attitude, knowledge, representation of the Old Town Trolley, and his presentation skills…

Terrifically entertaining tour

Ruben was our conductor and I just had to write in to compliment his work. He was enthusiastic and gave a terrifically entertaining tour of lovely Savannah. No one wanted to get off at any of the stops…

Informative and hilarious

Just visited Savannah for first time on our honeymoon. We had Denise as one of our drivers and we absolutely loved her. She was very informative and hilarious. She truly exemplified Southern hospitality and culture and we hope to visit again soon and hope to find Denise on the trolley… a job well done!

I recently had a long layover at the Savannah Airport so I took the opportunity to wander around. I did the right thing by taking the trolley tour first. Cindy was our conductor and no one wanted to leave! She was FUNNY and informative. The accent just made it all better as she told us about the ‘winders’ in the buildings. Great fun.

Cindy was Fabulous

My grandson and I took the trolley tour and our first and last conductor was Cindy. She was FABULOUS!!!…my grandson was actually excited when we got on the last bus. He said, “Look, it’s Cindy.” She knew every nook and cranny and had so many stories to tell about the areas that we saw. We totally enjoyed our tour and will definitely do another one when we return…

Net is a high quality, professional tour guide

We just wanted to make sure you were aware of the exceptional service provided by your trolley tour guide Net… She was not only knowledgeable, polite, and considerate to all passengers, but she was funny, and interacted with the trolley passengers and kept everyone on board engaged and entertained…

We highly recommend

My sister and I recently visited Savannah and decided to try out the Trolley Tour and we are so happy we did! Our tour guide was Mel Bell and she is FABULOUS! Not only did she fill us with more historical facts than we will ever remember but she was so much fun! She was entertaining and kept the ride lively.

Everyone wanted to stay on Mel's trolley

Mel was a terrific tour guide! She was very knowledgeable and full of joy – everyone wanted to stay on her trolley for every stop because she made it such a fun experience… she deserves a raise.

Cainan's personality was so enjoyable

We had the pleasure of having Cainan as our tour guide. He was very informative and lively. His personality was so enjoyable. We weren’t planning to ride the whole tour in one sitting, but Cainan was so entertaining we ended up riding the whole route with him.

The street is famous for its mix of Federal-, Italianate-, and Romanesque Revival-style homes built in the mid-19th century. No matter where you look, the street is graceful and stunning. It hasn’t changed much since it was founded, and it maintains its historical charm with its cobblestone street and moss-draped live oak trees.

Can you tour Savannah at night? + -

Savannah’s historic landmarks, winding lanes, and tragic past have led to countless ghost sightings and eerie happenings — all waiting for you to explore at nightfall. From famous crimes to Civil War battles and the Yellow Fever outbreaks of the late 1800s, our Ghosts & Gravestones tour guides will take you through the city’s most supernatural sites with hair-raising stories that will keep you on edge throughout the tour. You’ll zoom through the city, driving by popular haunted locations such as Colonial Park Cemetery, and stops at the Andrew Low House and Perkins & Sons Ship Chandlery. And, as night takes over, the darkness outside makes the experience feel more authentic with the silence accentuating each story’s ominous tone. Your eyes will strain as you stare outside in the hope of catching a glimpse of a ghostly apparition. Additionally, in Savannah, the city’s lampposts along the streets and the hanging moss swaying in the breeze will set your imagination into high gear as you imagine all sorts of ghostly happenings.

We currently have Belgians, Percherons and American Spotted draft horses in our stables. These magnificent animals are growing in popularity. Because of their large size and muscular build (many weighing as much as a TON) they are typically used in farming and show hitch classes. E ach member of our herd is cherished and loved greatly. Each horse has a very distinct personality and want to be treated with respect, love and honesty, just like people. There is just no way that any of us could make a 2000lb plus animal to do something unless they wanted to…..so we ASK them, respectfully. Our drivers and barn-men are very much family members to these horses and know each little idiosyncrasy that tells us how a horse is feeling on a given day. Their intelligence is shocking at times, so don’t venture too close if you are holding sweets!
