About Experiences in Savannah
Savannah is the kind of city that wins people over slowly: shaded squares, wrought-iron balconies, old houses with peeling shutters, and a humid, slightly theatrical atmosphere that feels made for long walks. It suits travelers who like history with a little mood to it, but it’s not only for architecture buffs or ghost-story fans. If you enjoy places where you can spend half a day wandering and then settle into a good meal or a riverfront stroll, Savannah makes an easy case for itself. It also has enough choice in where to stay—nearly 400 hotels in the area—that you can do it as a polished weekend away or a more casual base for exploring coastal Georgia. What stands out is how many ways there are to experience the city. There are 278 bookable tours and activities, with a strong emphasis on activities, day trips, culture and history, and especially walking tours, which makes sense in a city best appreciated at street level. The best-reviewed options lean into Savannah’s personality: the Bonaventure Cemetery Walking Tour with Transportation gets near-perfect marks, and so do the 60-Minute Guided Segway History Tour of Savannah and the Genteel and Bard’s Savannah History Walking Tour. If you want the city at its most atmospheric, the Savannah History and Haunts Candlelit Ghost Walking Tour is a strong bet, while the 2-Hour Explore Savannah Bike Tour is a good fit if you’d rather cover more ground. One practical note: prices run from as little as $6 to well over $1,000 per person, so there’s a real spread between simple sightseeing and more elaborate private experiences. Also, none of these bookings offer free cancellation, so Savannah rewards travelers who are reasonably sure of their plans before locking anything in.
