10 Best Tours in Savannah

By Paul Oswell

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.

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 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.

Jahnavi Bhatt

Tony Perrottet

Olivia Morelli

Federica Bocco

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 .

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.

1000 5-star reviews can't be wrong. Visit Savannah today!

Highly recommend this tour. Ms. Pat was brilliant; the tour was insightful and authentic. Learned a lot. Don't miss out on this opportunity to learn about our journey.

We had the best time on this bus tour. Lieutenant Dan was our guide..and he was fantastic!! We learned so much about the city! Everyone should ask for him.. and take this tour! The best part is.. after the tour, the trolley becomes a shuttle! You can be dropped off and picked up at several different stops for the rest of the day!

I took the trolly and boat tour. I thought I received exceptionally good value. I enjoyed it very much.

Thoroughly enjoyed this tour. It's a great value. Learned so much and was sorry we didn't have more time to go back to explore some of the areas the guide pointed out. The ticket includes the option to request a shuttle to any one of 11 stops for the rest of that day and the next day - all part of the tour fee.

Dennis is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and has a great sense of humor. I think the tour is just the right amount of time. I’d highly recommend anyone visiting Savannah take this tour (and try to get Dennis as your tour guide).

I’ve done a ton of ghost tours/experiences/etc. everywhere from St. Augustine to Salem, but this was a totally unique experience! The trolley tour was super fun and informative and the tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable. The interactive performance was PHENOMENAL! It was the perfect blend of scary, historical, and interactive! The actors are incredibly talented. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality ghost tour plus some extra scary fun!

Andy was amazing with his knowledge of the area! All of the drivers were very helpful and accommodating! We couldn’t have enjoyed ourselves nearly as much without the tour buses being available to us. Great value for the money!

Brenda with Kelly Tours did an amazing job providing history (and air conditioning) throughout our tour. She was extremely thorough, knowledgable and kept the tour at a very even pace. As a Georgia native, I learned so much. Highly recommend!!

The trolley ride was comfortable and took almost 2 hours to complete the round trip, due to traffic in the downtown area. I'd recommend sitting on the right side of the trolley, kerb side, as sitting there you have a better chance to get great pictures. We sat on the left and we couldn't always see everything very clearly. The next day we did the River Cruise which was also very good. We sat top deck in the sunshine and had great views of everything. We also saw some dolphins as an added bonus! Get to River Street in plenty of time for the cruise so you're not way at the back of the queue for boarding. All staff were polite and friendly and everything was well organized.

Explore Savannah: The Definitive Guide to Unforgettable Experiences

S avannah, Georgia, is a city that I have always loved. Having lived in the city for eight years, I've grown to like it. Those were some of the best years of my life. Savannah is about four hours south of Atlanta, Georgia, and two hours north of Jacksonville, Florida. In recent years, Savannah has experienced substantial growth. There are many different activities available in the seaside city. Today, I'd like to talk about ten things you can do in Savannah.

1. River Street

One of my favorite places to go when I'm in Savannah is River Street. River Street is located on the Savannah River. There are various shops, restaurants, and bars, including Wet Willies, Tubby's Seafood, and Old Savannah Tours. On the first Friday of every month, they have a fireworks show. River Street is a good place to hang out with your family and friends. You can get some good pictures of the Talmadge Bridge, which connects Savannah and Hutchinson Island.

2. City Market

City Market is not too far from River Street. There are art galleries, more restaurants, and bars to choose from at City Market. City Market even has live entertainment during the weekends. A couple of places to visit in City Market are Pour Larry's, which is a cool place to grab a drink, and Vinnie Van Go-Go's, which has some of the best pizzas in the city.

3. Savannah State University 

My alma mater, Savannah State University, is located in Savannah. It is the oldest historically black university in the state of Georgia, as it was founded in 1890. SSU offers 30 undergraduate and six graduate programs. Not to be a homer, but if you know someone who wants to go to an HBCU in Georgia, have them check out Savannah State University.

4. Tybee Island

Tybee Island is about 15 minutes from downtown Savannah.  The island has a nice beach area where people go and relax. They have a popular pier and pavilion that can get pretty crowded during summer. Tybee Island also has a few restaurants and hotels to cater to tourists. Spanky's and The Crab Shack are popular places to eat.

5. Shopping

If you like to shop, Savannah has a few options for you. There are two malls in the Savannah city limits. They are the Savannah Mall, located on the south side of town, and Oglethorpe Mall, which is in midtown. A Tanger Outlets is also located in Pooler, GA, right outside Savannah.

6. Grayson Stadium

Grayson Stadium is a minor league baseball stadium. They formerly hosted the Savannah Sand Gnats, a minor league affiliate of the New York Mets. The Sand Gnats left Savannah after the 2015 season. The Savannah Bananas of the Coastal Plain League call Grayson Stadium home. The team is very popular, with the locals having broken the Coastal Plain League single-season record in 2016 and 2017.

7. Savannah's Historic Squares

The Savannah Squares are located in the historic district. The city originally started with 4 squares. There are currently 21 squares in the city. The squares are a big hit with tourists. There are many landmarks and monuments located in the squares.

8. Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD)

SCAD's oldest location is in Savannah, Georgia. It is one of the best art schools to attend in the country. They host the Savannah Film Festival, the longest-running university film festival in the country.

Savannah is a very nice city. These are just a few things to do in Savannah. It is a city that I used to visit yearly until life got in the way. I have to change that. Its southern charm is tough to match. Savannah's weather is usually great for most of the year, so there isn't a bad time to visit.

9. Forsyth Park

This historic park in Savannah is gorgeous.  A delightful, green, lavish scene, it's popular among tourists and locals. You can enjoy 30 acres of trees, flowers, and other foliage. The site almost always has something going on, from the open-air concerts to a farmer’s market that is open every Saturday. Forsyth Park is also home to one of the most photographed spots in Savannah. The colossal, beautiful fountain is Instagram-worthy and should not be missed.

10. Old Savannah Trolley Tours

If you plan to explore the best-known locations around Savannah’s historic district, try the hop-on, hop-off trolley tour. This is one of the best ways to discover the city if you’re staying for a few days and want to visit as many sites as possible in just an afternoon. The trolley covers 22 squares and shows off Savannah’s most important landmarks, like the Temple Mickve Israel, the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, the Juliette Gordon Low Home, Sorrel Weed House, the Mansion of Forsythe Park, the Mulberry Inn, and the Pirates House. There are 15 separate stops, and you can get off the trolley whenever you want to go sightseeing. You don’t have to worry as another one will be right there to pick you up, nearly whenever you like, as they come around an interval of every 15 to 20 minutes.

Man arrested in connection to shooting that injured 11 people in Savannah, Georgia

SAVANNAH, Ga. ( WTOC /Gray News) - An arrest has been made in connection to the shooting that happened in Ellis Square and injured 11 people.

Police say 20-year-old William Anthony Mitchell is being charged with four counts of aggravated assault and four counts of a firearm during the commission of or attempt to commit certain crimes. Also among the charges related to the shooting is a separate charge for contempt of court.

Mitchell was taken into custody on May 21.

According to court records, Mitchell was also arrested on March 30 for drug possession with the intent to distribute.

Court records show he was granted bond in that case and as a condition of that bond, Mitchell was fitted with an ankle monitor and could not carry firearms, or be arrested or charged with any new violations.

That case was bound up to Superior Court on May 14, just four days before the shooting in Ellis Square.

Police say Saturday night’s shooting left 11 people injured in the popular downtown area filled with bars.

Investigators say 10 people were shot and another was wounded by broken glass Since then, all victims have been released from the hospital.

Savannah Mayor Van Johnson released a statement saying:

“We said we would quickly make arrests, and an arrest has been made. This is the first arrest, but it may not be the last arrest in this case. We will not tolerate trigger pullers in our City. We now need swift and aggressive prosecution.”

Savannah police says there are still multiple persons of interest being sought.

Anyone with information is asked to CrimeStoppers at 912-234-2020 or submit an anonymous tip through the Savannah PD mobile app.

FBI Atlanta has also opened a Digital Media Tipline for potential witnesses to upload media such as cell phone video or any other multimedia recordings. You can find that here .

2024 UNCF Savannah Mayor’s Luncheon held at Savannah State University

SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - Hundreds of people from the business, government and religious communities as well as non-profit agencies packed the 2024 UNCF Savannah Mayor’s Luncheon at the Savannah State University ballroom on Tuesday.

It’s an annual fundraiser to bring in money that UNCF awards in scholarship money to more than 60,000 students annually at 1,000 different college through 400 scholarship programs.

“This is an investment in lives. Sometimes we put money and we never know how it ends up. You see people who are able now to have the opportunity. One thing we know is that ability is available to everyone, opportunity is not. So we have to create opportunities for people to become educated. We know if people are better educated, we know that their incomes go up, we know that their styles of living go up. But their opportunities also go up as well.”

UNCF works throughout the year to raise money for colleges that need to keep their academic programs strong, tuition affordable and financial aid available.

Our Dawn Baker was honored to serve as Tuesday’s keynote speaker.
