					  Highly recommend!  - Savannah Dan’s walking tour was amazing! He gives a behind the scene history details that I never learned in school. Even though it was June, the tour is mostly shaded... read more and not so hot. He walks through the squares in town and gives you the real facts. Our tour only had four people and was very personal. I highly recommend Savannah Dan!!!!

					  Grand Old Time - We enjoyed our tour with Savannah Dan.  He has a great deal of local knowledge both historically and contemporary.  Because it was a small group, he spent the... read more early part of the tour, in Johnson Square, discussing local restaurants, historic sites and lodging options.  Then once we started the historical walking portion of the tour, we were inundated with a lot of Savannah history as well as US history and how they tied together.  We've been on several walking tours and ghost tours in Savannah, and I would say Dan is one of the more enjoyable tours we've done.  If we travel back to Savannah with friends, we will probably book Dan again because it seems like a sure bet for success.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know for your walking tour experience.

What should I wear for the tour?

Comfortable walking shoes are recommended since we’ll cover about a mile through Savannah’s Historic District. But honestly? The rest is up to you. Dress for comfort and the season and bring an umbrella just in case.

What happens if it rains?

We tour rain or shine! So bring an umbrella if the forecast calls for showers and if you are staying downtown, many hotels in Savannah provide complimentary umbrellas and ponchos for their guests.

Are the tours wheelchair accessible?

Most areas of the Historic District are accessible, but keep in mind Savannah is nearly 300 years old. Cobblestones and uneven terrain can make some sections tricky, though the majority of the walking tours of Savannah are manageable.

Where do we meet for the tour?

Public tours typically begin in Johnson Square, Savannah’s very first square, laid out in 1733. When you book your walking tour of Savannah, you’ll receive exact directions and meeting details from me once I receive your booking.

Can children join the tours?

Yes, children are welcome on both public and private tours. Families and schools often find that a Savannah walking tour is the perfect mix of history and entertainment for all ages. I get many who use my tour for a homeschooling lesson as well as school field trips and scouting troops who want a unique and immersive look into Savannah’s rich history.

Do you offer private group tours?

Yes. Private tours are fully customized to your group. From bachelorette parties to family reunions, a private Savannah tour lets you choose where it begins, where it ends, and how long it lasts.

What payment methods do you accept?

All major credit cards are accepted. Walk-ups and last-minute additions can also pay with cash before the start of a walking tour.

How far do we walk during the tour?

The public historic Savannah walking tour covers just about one mile at an easy pace. Private tours are flexible and can be longer or shorter, depending on your preferences or how long you’ve booked for.

Is parking available near the meeting point?

Yes. Three public parking garages are located within two blocks of Johnson Square, making it convenient for guests joining the walking tours of Savannah.

Can I take photos during the tour?

Of course you can, THIS is America, it’s your 1st Amendment RIGHT! Guests are encouraged to take photos during the walking tours of Savannah (Georgia). The squares, live oaks, and antebellum homes make for stunning backdrops.

Does Savannah Dan offer dining tours in Savannah?

Yes! In addition to my walking tours of Savannah GA, I also lead dining-focused experiences. I call myself “not a foodie, but a professional diner” and take guests to some of the city’s best restaurants, where history and Southern cuisine meet.

What makes Savannah Dan’s dining tours unique?

Unlike typical food tours, these experiences blend Savannah’s history with its dining scene. You’ll hear stories about the city while enjoying some of Savannah’s favorite dishes, cocktails, and hidden gems, all recommended by someone who has truly eaten his way through the city.

Can I combine a Savannah walking tour with a dining tour?

Absolutely. Many guests choose to pair a Savannah walking tour with a dining stop. I can guide you through the Historic District and finish the tour right at one of my favorite restaurants so you enjoy both the city’s history and its food in one experience. Just reach out to me when you are booking your private walking tour and I will send over my list of recommendations.
