Savannah Tours

Trolley

A seated introduction to the grid, or all-day transport if you will use the stops.

Best for: The first morning, tired legs

History walk

About two hours on one subject: the squares, Black history, the Civil War or Bonaventure.

Best for: Depth, a second day

Ghost tour

A night of stories, theater or investigation. Routes and age rules matter more than spooky adjectives.

Best for: After dinner, a first visit

Food and drink

A guided meal, tasting walk or cocktail crawl. Some replace dinner; some emphatically do not.

Best for: A meal without the research

Riverboat

The working river, a sunset deck or a buffet from the dock behind City Hall.

Best for: The port from the water

Boats and the coast

Dolphins, marsh creeks and private boats, usually with a drive toward Tybee.

Best for: A coast day, wildlife

Best for a first visit

Trolley first, focused walk second, ghost stories after dinner. Save the river for another half-day.

Best for couples

Let a food tour replace dinner, or take sunset on the river. Put the ghost walk on the other night.

Best for families

Choose a daytime trolley, the 90-minute riverboat or the Tybee trip with transport. Check every evening age rule.

Best for history

Skip the general sampler and choose the subject first. Ride a trolley only if you need the layout.

Best when walking is hard

Trolleys and boats are seated, though access differs by vehicle. The DOT shuttle covers downtown without narration.

Best value

The DOT shuttle and river ferry are free. Among paid options, favor tickets that replace a meal or include transport.
