About this activity

The History of Savannah Walking Tour is led by local guide Sarah Johnson and is intentionally designed as a small-group experience, giving guests a more personal and engaging way to explore Savannah’s Historic District. Rather than rushing from stop to stop, Sarah takes time to explain how Savannah’s unique city plan, historic squares, architecture, and landmarks shaped the city from its founding in 1733 onward.

With smaller groups, guests can comfortably hear, ask questions, and interact throughout the tour. The relaxed 90-minute experience covers approximately 1.5 miles, with frequent shaded stops along the way. It’s ideal for visitors who want meaningful history and storytelling without feeling hurried.

It’s not just about seeing Savannah — it’s about understanding it.
