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.

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.

What is the prettiest street to walk down in Savannah? + -

The main tourist street in Savannah is none other than River Street. It’s a bustling cobblestone street that runs parallel to the Savannah River, spanning for about a mile. This street is a hub of activity and a must-visit destination for tourists. There’s always something going on, whether it’s a street performer entertaining the crowds, a lively festival, or a boat tour. River Street is known for its beautiful historic buildings, which have been preserved since the city’s founding in 1733.

You’ll find a diverse range of shops, from high-end boutiques to charming souvenir stores. There’s something for everyone, whether you’re looking for a unique piece of jewelry or a Savannah t-shirt. If you’re feeling hungry, there are plenty of restaurants to choose from, offering everything from classic Southern comfort food to international cuisine.

River Street is also home to some of Savannah’s most popular attractions, such as the interactive Savannah History Museum and riverboat cruises. You can take a short boat tour of the Savannah River to learn about the port’s history or take a dinner cruise or moonlit cruise at night. Walking along the street, you’ll also find street vendors selling fresh lemonade, handmade crafts and local art.

What is the prettiest street in Savannah? + -

One of the prettiest streets in Savannah is Jones Street, the epitome of southern grace and elegance. This charming street has been named the “Prettiest Street in America” by both Southern Living magazine and Holiday magazine. It’s located in the heart of the Historic District and is lined with beautiful historic homes, gorgeous trees with winding branches and quaint shops. 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.

What to Consider Before Booking a Hotel Room in Savannah

Now that you have an idea of the plethora and variety of hotels in Savannah, there are a few things to consider before you take the leap and book that room. 

Location, Location, Location

As Georgia’s oldest city, Savannah is rich in history and culture and each neighborhood has its own unique vibe. Consider where you want to stay based on your interests and things you’d like to do. If you want to be in the heart of the action, downtown Savannah is where it’s at.

For a truly authentic Savannah experience, stay in the historic district. Here, you’ll find cobblestone streets, oak-lined squares, and beautifully preserved architecture dating back centuries.

Check out our 8 incredible things to do in Savannah to get an even better idea of what you want to be close to!

Amenities Galore

Not all hotels are made the same, and that includes the amenities they offer. Consider what’s important to you before you choose from the many hotels in Savannah. Do you need spacious guest rooms, a pool bar, or are you only looking for wi-fi? How about fire pits to sit with a drink? A full spa?

If you’re looking to make this trip as Savannah as possible, then choose hotels that exude southern charm like the Perry Lane Hotel. Or perhaps you’re more concerned about history. The Cotton Sail Hotel Savannah , a Tapestry Collection by Hilton, was once an 1800s cotton warehouse!

Budget-Friendly Options

Although Savannah is a hot spot tourist destination, there are fortunately accommodations to fit every budget. You can choose from luxurious boutique hotels to budget-friendly motels. Consider how much you’re willing to spend and what you’re willing to sacrifice.

Depending on when you travel, you might be able to catch a break. If you’re looking to save some green, try traveling during the week versus the weekend, or one of the quieter times of the months when there are fewer tourists around.

You can also keep an eye out for package deals that bundle accommodations with activities or dining options. And while we listed a lot of specific unique hotels on our list, there are more budget-friendly options like the Holiday Inn which will allow you to splurge on excursions over your accommodation.

City of Savannah discusses potential of new ordinance for trolley tours and horse drawn carriages

SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - The city of Savannah may have a new outlook on trolley busses and horse drawn carriages.

This comes after city council members discussed both of these issues in a workshop earlier today.

When it comes to trolley tours, city officials say they’ve received a lot of complaints coming from residents and the Downtown Neighborhood Association over things like noise and traffic.

With tourism being a driving factor here for the city, bringing in about 9.7 million overnight visitors in 2022, city officials say they’re looking to find a balance between keeping Savannah a place tourists will want to visit, and making sure residents have a good quality of life.

Right now, they say they’ve changed some of the trolley routes, addressing concerns coming from the Washington Square area.

Council members also discussed the potential for a new ordinance, one that would require tour vehicles to use directional speakers or in-ear technologies to keep their tour narration quieter.

When looking at the potential for this ordinance, city leaders say there’s a lot to consider.

“You have to look at local businesses, local residents, tourism businesses, non-tourism businesses, and make sure that you can come up with ordinances and policies that address the issues but also support and foster those, because the tourism economy is important to our community,” said Susan Broker, Senior Director of Special Events, Film and Tourism, City of Savannah.

“We’re looking to bring an ordinance to city council in the next four weeks,” Broker added.

Also in today’s workshop, council members discussed horse drawn carriages.

They’re looking at three different options: keeping the existing ordinance, adding new restrictions for severe weather or adding weight limits, or getting rid of horse drawn carriages all together.

Again, something city officials say they’re continuing learn more about, hearing from people on all sides of the issue.

“We have in place a task force of the advocacy groups and the horse drawn carriages. We’re in active communication with both groups right now. We’ll continue that conversation, we’ll come back to council with more information so that they can make a more informed decision,” Broker said.

Just to emphasize, no decisions were made on either of these topics, council members simply discussed them to see how they feel conversations should continue to move forward.

Georgia native Steven Fisk wins Club Car Championship at The Landings Golf & Athletic Club

Daily Wrap Up

Change Text Size

SAVANNAH, Ga. – Steven Fisk is Georgia through and through. He was born in Atlanta and grew up on a par-3 course and driving range his father built (and still operates) in his childhood hometown of Stockbridge. He played college golf for Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, a little under 200 miles from home. He and his wife, Edith, wed last month in Augusta. And Sunday evening in Savannah, roughly an hour drive from Georgia Southern, the 26-year-old Fisk earned his first Korn Ferry Tour win.

Fisk birdied three of the final four holes of regulation and defeated Rob Oppenheim in a sudden-death playoff, capturing the 2024 Club Car Championship at The Landings Golf & Athletic Club with a two-putt par on the Deer Creek Course’s par-5 18th hole.

“Such a long day that somehow went by really fast at the same time,” Fisk said. “To get my first win right here in Savannah, so close to where I went to school, is kind of crazy. I haven’t had much success here in the past, but to get it done today is extra special to be this close to what’s kind of my adopted home.”

Fisk began the final round one stroke off the lead but trailed Oppenheim by three strokes with four holes to play. Back-to-back birdies at the par-4 15th and 16th, followed by a clutch par save at the par-3 17th, opened the door for a tying birdie at No. 18. Fisk came within inches of a hole-out eagle from the greenside bunker, but tapped in for a bogey-free 4-under 68 and matched Oppenheim at 14-under 274.

For the fourth consecutive event, the winner would be determined via a playoff, tying the Korn Ferry Tour record for consecutive events with a playoff. The previous instances occurred in 2004 and 2019.

In the playoff, Fisk found the right side of the fairway, while Oppenheim drove it into a fairway bunker up the same side. Both had chip shots from behind the green, with Fisk’s rolling out to roughly 12 feet. After Fisk’s two-putt par, Oppenheim had a 7-footer for par which would have extended the playoff. It grazed the left edge of the cup but never fell, sealing the win for Fisk.

“Definitely could feel the crowd on my side,” said Fisk, whose gallery included his wife, parents, as well as his former head coach and several members of the Georgia Southern golf program. “I had a great group of people following me all week, and for them to come out and continue to support me is so special.”

Fisk’s victory in his home state was more than two decades in the making.

When Fisk was 4 or 5 years old, his father, Christopher, built Rum Creek Golf, a nine-hole par-3 course with a driving range and putting green. Even in its infancy, when there was more dirt than sod laid, young Fisk had a club in his hand. By the time he turned 8 years old, Christopher said his son’s hands looked as though they belonged to a bricklayer. As he grew up, Fisk played the par-3 course four or five, maybe even six times a day.

Fisk developed a strong iron game and a unique grip, with the latter eliciting a wide range of critiques through the years.

“If you ask anybody else, my grip probably sucks,” Fisk said. “But I’ve always done it this way. I’ve tried to tinker with it over the years with my coach. It’s just not something I’ve ever been able to get comfortable with. I figured if I’m going to have success in this game, I’m going to do it my way and be stubborn, and do everything I can to make myself the best player I can be and rely on some of my natural instincts.”

Unique grip and all, Fisk racked up nine career wins in four seasons at Georgia Southern, including six as a senior in the 2018-19 season. Fisk capped his collegiate career with a runner-up finish at the 2019 NCAA Championship and turned professional.

After an undistinguished 2021 season on the Forme Tour (a one-year substitute for PGA TOUR Canada amid the COVID-19 pandemic), Fisk earned Korn Ferry Tour membership and guaranteed starts with a T19 finish at Q-School. A year later, Fisk was right back at Final Stage of Q-School, as he finished No. 119 on the 2022 Korn Ferry Tour Points List with 13 missed cuts in 21 starts.

The second time around was much different for Fisk, who spent nearly the entire 2023 season inside the top 75 and finished No. 64 on the Korn Ferry Tour Points List, earning fully exempt status for the 2024 season.

The flexibility of fully exempt status was a blessing for Fisk, as the Korn Ferry Tour events in Argentina and Chile bumped up against his and Edith’s wedding plans. Without fear of reshuffles or a significant setback on the Points List, Fisk skipped the two events and hardly worried about the results.

Although the newlyweds were only able to vacation for a few days in Florida following the wedding, they discussed a proper honeymoon. Edith had her heart set on Cabo San Lucas.

“I told her we’d see how the year went,” Fisk said. “I think she’s looking pretty good right now.”

Final-Round Notes

Who's in the field, how to get tickets for annual Club Car Championship golf at The Landings

The picturesque Deer Creek Course at the Landings Golf & Athletic Club again will play host to the seventh annual Club Car Championship.

This week's event has become one of the marquee stops on the Korn Ferry Tour, a developmental tour where players compete to earn their way to the PGA Tour.

Past champions include Sam Burns, who won the title in 2018 and is now No. 21 in the Official World Golf Ranking. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, the betting favorite headed into the Masters Tournament next week, finished second behind Dan McCarthy in 2019 Club Car Championship.

Last year, David Skinns of England provided a great storyline as the 42-year-old University of Tennessee product won by a stroke, edging former Armstrong State star Shad Tuten and Tom Whitney for his third Korn Ferry Tour victory.
