    My husband and I had a great tour. Arthur was knowledgeable about the area, friendly and a wonderful guide. He customized our tour to what we wanted to see. We’d highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Savannah!

    Great time with Kids

    Our Guide was Arthur or as the kids call him when they describe the tour, "Buff Einstein" He gave a great tour and it never felt Guided. We went where the streets took us and there was no rush , if we liked a spot we stayed longer. Arthur knew his landmarks and did a great job with the kids (11-16) keeping them engaged for 3 hot hours! Highly Recommend

    Outstanding tour, superb guide

    Our guide Arthur provided our four-member group an outstanding experience. His expansive knowledge of Savannah, informed by both his lifetime experience in the city and formal degree in history was impressive and engaging. Arthur’s pace was relaxed and inviting of our many questions along the way. We booked this tour to learn as much as we could about this beautiful and historically rich city. Arthur delivered beyond our expectations.

    Private Tour of Savannah Square

    Arthur was amazing as our private tour guide! He stayed fully engaged with all five of us and was very knowledgeable. Arthur was a gentlemen and even gave his jacket to one of us when it was cold. Learning about the squares was fascinating. We highly recommend Arthur as a guide.

    The Best of Savannah: Private Half-Day Walking Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does The Best of Savannah: Private Half-Day Walking Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $185 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 The Best of Savannah: Private Half-Day Walking Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 The Best of Savannah: Private Half-Day Walking Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 13 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 The Best of Savannah: Private Half-Day 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 The Best of Savannah: Private Half-Day Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book The Best of Savannah: Private Half-Day Walking Tour?

    +

    Around 5 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does The Best of Savannah: Private Half-Day 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 Historic Savannah Guided Walking Tour, Bonaventure Cemetery Walking Tour with Transportation, 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.
