Our Savannah History Tour 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.
This is Savannah' most comprehensive tour, and Brandon has been voted Savannah's Best Tour Guide the last four years by two publications.
