Tour description
Savannah is one of the most beautiful and atmospheric cities in the American South, a place of moss-draped oaks, elegant squares and grand antebellum mansions that survived the Civil War. Laid out in a famous grid of leafy garden squares, its historic district is made for wandering. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its beauty and its secrets.
You will stroll beneath ancient live oaks dripping with Spanish moss, hear tales of pirates, generals and Southern belles, and discover the ghost stories that give Savannah its spooky reputation. Romantic, genteel and endlessly charming, Savannah is a city that casts a spell on every visitor.
