A Must for Savannah
What can I say? This tour is a must for all visiting Savannah and well worth your money. The time on the boat was just enough. The tour guides were great. Knowledgeable and fun. History and information was all through the 1.5 hours aboard the boat. Getting up close to the tankers and seeing a dolphin and turtle added to the day. Thank you. Skyler and Conner for a great time!!

Best tour in Savannah
We go to Savannah often and this has been the best tour we have gone on! We’ve done ghost tours and architecture tours. They are also fun but do not compare to being on the river and learning more about the port of Savannah. Captain Jason and first mate Tanner (aka Connor) were informative, funny and engaging on this tour. Being able to view the port and cargo ships up close is such a unique experience. We even saw dolphins! Capt Jason and First Mate Connor/Tanner included so much information about the environment, port and history of Savannah.

Very interesting...
Very interesting information, that would be difficult to find out in any other manner. Your guides were very knowledgeable and made the experience fun.

Very informative Tour of river
Very informative tour of Savannah River Port. The two women piloting the boat were terrific. They enthusiastically narrated all that we were seeing. Quite impressive to be so close to the big cargo ships and watching the loading and unloading of containers. They explained why the yachts were docked and the process of completing maintenance. This is a tour I would highly recommend.

Narrated Port Tour Cruise of Savannah: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Savannah.
How much does Narrated Port Tour Cruise of Savannah cost?
+
Prices start at $53 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 Narrated Port Tour Cruise of Savannah take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Narrated Port Tour Cruise of Savannah worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 64 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 Narrated Port Tour Cruise of Savannah?
+
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 Narrated Port Tour Cruise of Savannah suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Narrated Port Tour Cruise of Savannah?
+
Around 22 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Narrated Port Tour Cruise of Savannah 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.

+
Included: Alcoholic beverages; Sights of the Port of Savannah, containers-ship, and mega yachts; Drinks "non alcoholic" and snacks available for purchase; and Trip is fully narrated by the Captain and First Mate.
