Savannah Things to Do – Tours and Getting Around
Exploring Savannah: A City of Stories and Ghosts
Savannah’s reputation as one of the most haunted cities in the United States makes it a prime destination for ghost enthusiasts. The city’s ghost tours dive deep into its haunted past, with chilling tales from Colonial Park Cemetery, which holds more than 9,000 graves, to Bonaventure Cemetery, famous for its Spanish moss-draped beauty and eerie atmosphere. Tours include:
-
Blue Orb Tours: Renowned for their spooky storytelling.
-
Ghost City Tours: Perfect for history and ghost aficionados.
-
Savannah Ghost Tours: A classic choice for a hauntingly good time.
Beyond ghost stories, Savannah offers many other tours to suit every interest. Walking tours allow visitors to immerse themselves in the city’s architecture and history, while horse-drawn carriage rides provide a romantic perspective of the historic district. Food tours, like those offered by Savannah Taste Experience, introduce visitors to Southern culinary delights. Trolley tours, such as Old Town Trolley Tours, are a convenient way to see the city’s highlights. Experience the historic waterfront during lunch or dinner aboard a Savannah Riverboat Cruise.
Savannah’s museum scene is equally robust. The Davenport House Museum offers a glimpse into 19th-century life, while the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum showcases the city’s naval history. The Prohibition Museum provides an interactive journey through the 1920s, and the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace celebrates the life of the Girl Scouts’ founder. Don’t miss the SCAD Museum of Art, which highlights works from the Savannah College of Art and Design.
