Our Savannah History Walk is an excellent way to orient yourself with Savannah’s past. We start in Savannah’s oldest square and outline the founding of both Savannah and Georgia. From there we head south, square by square, discussing Savannah’s booms and busts. Some topics covered include the Oglethorpe Plan for squares, the father vs. son atmosphere of Revolutionary Savannah, the city’s most famous duel, Presidential visits, the Civil War era and Federal occupation, the experience of Antebellum and post-War African Americans, and the city’s churches and historic homes. We’ll take our talk right up to the tourist boom brought on by a certain book, the growing Port of Savannah, and where the city goes from here. You’ll also hear about dozens of men and women who made this place what it is. This is Savannah's most in-depth and comprehensive historic tour. Whether a tourist or longtime resident, you’ll walk away with a greater appreciation of all things Savannah.

    Best Tour: Highly Recommend

    The walking tour was excellent! Brandon was a fantastic tour guide. He shared so many interesting facts about the city, its history, and its architecture, and he was able to answer all of our questions. He was very knowledgeable, personable, and professional, making the tour both informative and enjoyable. I highly recommend this walking tour. It was absolutely worth the money!

    We had a wonderful...

    We had a wonderful walking tour with James. My husband and I were the only ones on the tour that day, so James was able to hone in on what our interests were. We told him we had just read the book "Demon of Unrest" about the start of the Civil War, so he focused on the history of that time. But we also learned about the early settlers and what happened after the Civil War.

    A great way to learn about Savannah’s History

    A great historical walking tour. Our guide Sara was really excellent. She told us facts and stories for the full 2-hour tour, and was engaging and interesting the whole time. And she was witty too. If you’re in Savannah and have a few hours to walk around the historic district and learn about the city’s interesting history, I strongly recommend this tour. An A+!!!

    Lays a great foundation for your Savannah visit!

    Guide is passionate & well-versed in the area’s history since the city’s founding. While it was hot, it was not intolerable and many of the squares are shady. There is some uneven pavement so care is needed. A good value for your time we thought!

    Don’t Miss This One

    This was a truly outstanding tour. The tour guide connected the buildings and geography with a sweep of history of this amazing city. It was interesting and held our attention firmly for the two hours. The guy did a great job asking for questions and then answering them expertly. He was smart enough to park us in the shade on this hot Jorge day. We loved it and would take another tour with this individual anytime.

    Historic Savannah Walking Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Savannah.

    How much does Historic Savannah Walking Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $32 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Savannah usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Historic Savannah Walking Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Savannah is not rushed.

    Is Historic Savannah Walking Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 148 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Savannah, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Historic Savannah Walking Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Historic Savannah Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Historic Savannah Walking Tour?

    +

    Around 52 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Savannah can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Savannah and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Historic Savannah Walking Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Savannah within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Savannah?

    +

    Savannah is a walking city with a dense guide market, which means quality spread is wide. Historic district walks, Bonaventure Cemetery trips, trolley hop-on routes and ghost tours with tavern access make up most bookings. Outty Ranking leans on licensed-guide status and group size, since the squares get loud once a tour passes twenty people. On Outty we rank every Savannah experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Bonaventure Cemetery Walking Tour with Transportation, Historic Savannah Guided Walking Tour, Haunted Savannah Booze and Boos Ghost Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Savannah?

    +

    March to May for azaleas, or October to November for cool evenings. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Savannah?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Historic Savannah Walking Tour?

    +

    Included: Local recommendations are free!. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Historic Savannah Walking Tour?

    +

    We'll meet on the north side of Johnson Square nearest to Bryan Street Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
