A fascinating mix of the historic and the modern. Lovely architecture. Great stories. Living history. Heres a jewel of a city whose eyes are fixed on preserving the past while embracing the present.

First time to Savannah for me . I used Kelly Tours Savannah to give me a 90 minute drive through 11 spots. They drove me around. they did a wonderful job for about $30 a person. that way I could see what I wanted to, go back to visit and enjoy. They then allow for me to give them a call come pick me up for the next two days for the same price. one price for 2 days. There are unique shops, it is an artisan community, every corner theres two or three restaurants, and I want to try each and every one of them. theres just not enough time.... Ill be back. Right now a lot of Savannah has already been restored they are also working on roads and restoring areas south of the historic district. all in all Im excited to be able to come back here and discover more history.

I have been to Savannah for 3 short visits, and I have loved each visit. My visits were in the summer, spring and my last visit was recently in autumn. The first time I went with my husband, teenage son, preteen daughter, and my father-in-law. Having an older family member in our group meant not walking too much. Plus in the summer shade from the sun is needed. We did a hop on/off trolley tour and it was great. It gave us a great overview of the area, and the information provided in the tour was fantastic. My father-in-law loved it, as well as my kids. I would take another trolley tour, because you can only soak up so much info at any given time, and there is so much history there. Weve also had dinner by the river, which was great not only for the view, but because during the summer there was a fireworks show every night. The weather was great for walking in the spring and autumn. The historic area is not too big, about 1 square mile, and walking it is very easy. On my last visit I completed a virtual 10K and decided to jog through all 22 town squares as well as Forsyth Park. My husband and I would run from one square to the other, then walk around briefly in the park. It made for a good, scenic interval workout. There is also a comic book store that my son enjoyed visiting while we were there. I have also visited a few tea and coffee shops, which were delightful. The area along the river is also a great place to stroll and explore.

Beautiful town, wonderful architecture green spaces restaurants bed and breakfasts. The college has bought a lot of the beautiful buildings, adding artistic flair inside keeping the history intact its just beautiful. Definitely would suggest a bus tour theres so much history.

This city has some real history behind it! I had no idea that John Wesley was a pastor here and that the founder of the Girl Scouts of America attended that same church! There are lots of “squares” in downtown, with paths and shaded benches. There are a lot of one-way roads, which makes navigating by car through it a challenge. To get down to River Street, there are multiple “ramps” that start from Bay Street. These “ramps” are zigzagging cobblestone paths that look like dead ends, but most of them aren’t. Some are closed for construction so just watch out for that. There are multiple visitors centers, but I went to the one on River Street next to the Hyatt Place. Note: on the brick path next to the river, there are a few plazas where the path extends and has benches and trees growing. If you like skateboarding: SKATEBOARDING IS ILLEGAL ON THOSE PLAZAS. There are signs stating so, but I didn’t see them, and found out the hard way, but got off lucky. There aren’t any signs you can’t skateboard anywhere else on the brick path, so I think it’s just for the plazas...Very nice historic center! Definitely recommend Savannah’s Candy Kitchen! Try not to drop your gelato like I did.

Lots to do and see. Plenty of shopping and eatery scenes. Very beautiful scenery. Recommend one of the Trolley Tours. Park at the Visitor Center if you do the Trolley Tour as you can park for free and get your trolley tickets there.

Historic Savannah is so lovely. Took a carriage ride & the driver was excellent, giving us many stories about this grand old city. And Teddy is a great horse ️

We fell in love with Savannah. The history here is so deep! Im a big history buff and even i learned things I never knew. By the way if you love John and Charles Wesley you will love it here.

So rich history and beautiful. There are many squares, lots of trees, lots of shops and beautiful architectures.

Beautiful city! I could spend a lifetime here trying to get a perfect photo.

Savannah has very strong and interesting history. Our tour guide known as B.S. was knowledgeable and entertainingHe was very engaging

We chose Old Savannah tours for our on and off experience. The experience was good but we seemed to see more competitor pickups which would have saved waiting. Wing Cafe for lunch was a cool place to hide out for a quick bite. Wings were the best Ive had but the sliders suffered from slightly stale bread. Drinks were cold and quick, service awesome and smiling. Fun day!

This. Place. Is. Beautiful. Fully recommend the on/off historic tour with Gertrude and Margaret, they were delightful. Every single building is magnificent to look at and there are more than enough things to do. Definitely the highlight of my visit to savannah.

An amazing place. Beautiful and historic all at the same time.

Very beautiful and people friendly town. Cant wait to go back. Lots of places to see and things to do for the whole family. Thanks Savannah from Florida

Took a Trolley tour along with a boat tour...amazing sights and history!

SO hot and Humid!! but the area had so mamy valuable landmarks. A must see if you love history.

Great experience. Historic district was very close to our hotel. We were able to walk through it in about 4 hours. Lots to see and do.

One of my favorite places in the country. Make sure you take a trolley tour first to learn about the city.

Visited Georgia last week. Beautiful Historic District. Place was full of life. Southern hospitality at its best. Hope to visit again soon.

The ambiance and charm of this historic city exceeded all my expectations. The history of Savannah is really interesting and the trolley tour is one of the best ways to tour Savannah. Prepare to spend a few days walking around the 24 squares of historical Savannah. Pay attention to the rich history of the houses that took up to 10 years to build. The whimsical architecture is stunning and I only wish you could find architecture like this today.

Lots of beautiful things to see here

Southern charm and history at its best. So much to see and learn! Planning on returning soon for a longer stay. Beautiful town and River front!

Wonderful Historic area. We took the trolley tour. I just wish i had more time to go into some of the other buildings. Well worth my time.

A trip back in time when electricity and plumbing were just being introduced to southern America.Architecture is amazing, cobble stone streets take you back to a slower time.Live Oaks and Spanish moss on every corner.A place you want to visit again and again.

Very neat place.....I loved it

Whats not to love about this historic location? The history behind this area is intoxicatingly rich with stories from long ago and not so long ago. Both entertaining for families and singles. There are plenty of shopping opportunities along the River Walk and Center Street Market. For the art lovers, SCAD is prominent throughout the District and is brings a refreshing modern feel to the area. Ive visited multiple times and will again. Highly recommend.

Took the old town trolley tour that was amazing! Denise, our driver was so informative! Loved it. Loved the historic downtown!

Im in love with Savannah city. Charming, cozy, beautiful and full of history, stories and mysteries. The city looks like a nice book full of nice pictures. It is impossible to walk around and dont feel like taking picture. Every corner has something to explore and appreciate. Enchanting and welcoming city!

Amazing place to adventure through and admire the history and architecture...also all the spooky stories that come along with the town. Loved this place.

Wished we could have spent more time here. Unlike Charleston which has been heavy on marketing itself Savannah seems to have more of that mix of genuine local flavor as well as tourists.

Beautiful city. I love all the individual squares, especially Forsyth Park.

Its a great place to spend your long weekend. Got bus tour . Lot of eateries,Parks, bars, restaurants, hotel, River side park . Lots and lots of historical places to spend your time. You could easily spend 3 days weekend without even thinking about what to do. If you love exploring you could cover the entire district by walk . It will be little overwhelming but definitely worth it. Overall a great place.

Absolutely beautiful, the architecture of the homes and businesses are breath taking to me, ( thats my thing to admire). I suggest this as a must see.

Beautiful historic district, the well kept homes date back to the 1800s and surround small parks with towering trees, flowers,statues and fountains throughout the area. Myriad of restaurants with great food,small boutiques and antique stores.The Riverwalk is located at the original cotton exchange,and there is plenty of establishments to eat,shop,and see.Savannah has a colorful history, and I would recommend a tour bus (not diesel) and a paranormal walking tour.The cemeteries also have quite a past. The bed and breakfasts are very reasonable and beautiful.

I love Savannah, Georgia. I feel the history in the air, and I have even seen a ghost. (Working to copyright photo before I post it). This is a very special place that my family and I treasure. We will return.

Thank goodness General Sherman chose to stop his conflagration at the city limits and spared the beautiful squares and homes. I do declare. Tourist suggestion: watch Midnight In the Garden of Good and Evil after your first day in town. Yall ll see all the places yall went that day.

Christal the driver was amazing !. The tour was also beautiful. City was so clean and so many good places to explore . If you visit Savannah this is a must

Second trip this year! Uploading 1+ videos each week on my you tube channel highlighting the area.

Enjoyed the sites and learning the history. I will definitely visit again!

Fun and interesting place with lots of history. We always enjoy being there and learning some important history. We like the Old Town Trolley Tours and their guides sharing some of the remarkable history of Georgia and Savannah.

Lovely place to walk, have a drink and get something to eat. And all of it in the midst of some of the most historic places in US history. The hop on hop off trolleys are more than worth it. The tours take you through the district and tell great stories of the history of Savannah. If you dont want a trolley, the entire district is an easy walk. Just be careful of the historic stairs. They are steep. Only in Savannah!

My husband and I enjoyed a weekend getaway in Savanna. Very nice, clean place for a romantic getaway or a family trip. So many beautiful things to see all within walking distance. Some of the most gorgeous cathedrals, cemeteries and parks I have ever visited.

My new favorite city. Loved the tour around the city. Prohibition museum was really cool. I loved the history, the houses and the City Market. Cannot wait to go back!!

Savannah is a beautiful old City with a lot of history. It was the only city that was not destroyed during the war.

Happy to say all the statues are still standing.Very relaxing parks with alot of local history.

Its so full of history and so beautiful. I recommend an air condition tour so you can enjoy. bring a sweater the ac is cold. The whole scene is so full of so much your going to need a couple days.

Wow. Explodes with history, beautiful mansions and monuments in the squares. Also has a movie history and musical artists history. Streets that are canopied by moss draped trees. Spent a whole day and going back tomorrow for more. We did the jump on and off trolley and would recommend it.

We could spend a week here and not see everything, so much to see and do. We recommend the red trolley tour (buy online and save $$) and will save your tired legs. Well be back.

Its always exciting to visit Savannahs historical district. I especially love the tours and the food.

Historic squares in Savanna reciting events with prominent figures. Landscaping nicely done.

Savannahs historic district is probably the most beautiful city area I have ever seen. The little garden squares every few blocks are gorgeous, there is history everywhere, and the trees and statues and churches and fountains are so nice.

So much history that I wasnt aware of. Very interesting

This city is one for everyone to visit. Beautiful landscape and architecture. The history behind the city is just great. The cathedral and cemetery are beautiful.

So many interesting places, especially Cathedral of John the Baptist.

Glad I am here in December as the few warm days were pleasant but not humid yet the lanquid Spanish moss over head in the tree tops, the short palm trees mixed on sidewalks with decorative black wrought iron, and brick or cobblestone streets really bring the ambiance alive.There is SO much to history to see and do, from African Americans slow progress to stately homes and all those little squares of greenery. I already want to return.

The tour was interesting and informative. There is a lot of history in SAVANNAH.

Love the old architecture and history... also love the squares scattered around mixing nature with everyday living

If youve never been to Savannah, you really should make the time to visit! The history of the city is incredible and whats amazing is how much of it is so well preserved. The architecture is stunning and the organized layout with the multitude of squares makes it both beautiful to walk around but convenient to get from place to place. Tons of great attractions and restaurants.

Enjoy the squares on bikes or a slow stroll or carriage ride.

Had a hard time hearing because of motor. Saw many great things.

Breathtaking beautiful area. So much history and architecture. Highly recommend a tour.

I enjoyed the visit. Unfortunately I didn’t have time to truly sit down in a cafe and enjoy much more. I was on my way from Miami to New Haven, Ct

Thoroughly enjoyed the Trolley tour. A great experience. Cant wait to come back and see more sites.

So much rich American history. Awesome Bed & Brefast options are the way to stay and experience up close.

The historic district is so rich in history- wonderful homes- inviting squares most with important statues of history

So much to do and see in Savannah. So much history, friendly people, and delicious food. Using the on and off trolleys is the best way to get to know the city. Cant wait to go back and visit the places I was not able to on this trip.

The historic area of Savannah is just gorgeous. Beautiful squares filled with mossed covered oaks, surrounded by stately old homes, and charming cafes and restaurants. The architecture is just stunning. I also loved the old buildings along the river. Be sure to take a boat ride to really appreciate those. A very nice city for a long weekend.

Took the Savannah Historic Tour. Loved learning some of the history of the city.

Wonderful location. Wide range of restaurants, shops and things to see.

Beautiful city! Find caring people everywhere

Beautiful sites. Its rare that a location can be toured from your vehicle, but this is one of those places. Unfortunately, I didnt have the time to get out and walk around, but I am looking forward to doing that next chance I get.

Must visit for history buffs or anyone who likes historic places with great views. Much history. Did I mention historic?

Beautiful place to visit with tons of history to explore.

Very enjoyable trip to Savannah. People are very welcoming, lots of things to do with kids or without. Take the tour on trolley and horse carriage. Ghost tours are also good to do. Did see lots of homeless everywhere, lots of people asking for money. Other than that Savannah Historic side is beautiful to visit.

Beautiful area, Im very happy that folks work so hard to preserve this history

I Love Savannah! We keep coming back. The atmosphere is so relaxing!

Lovely, walkable historic district. Many different tours available, or DIY.

We loved walking through and seeing all the architecture and history of the old south. The fountains were very nice as well.

First time visitor and I cant wait to return.

Never visited here before but definitely definitely a great place to visit lots to do and lots to see so much history here that must do

Great History Lesson town.

Absolutely beautiful. A must see

Beautiful city, so much history and so much to learn. Buildings are amazing, you feel the southern energy in every corner. Plenty of hotels, restaurants, coffee shops and stores. Pet-friendly city. Love it!

Beautyful place to visit. You feel like you are in a movie setting

Filled with a lot of history, very nice afternoon walk

My husband and I live here in South Historic District on the elegant Jones Street and we absolutely love it! We walk everywhere and eat everwhere! Its delightful and an honor to live here!

A must see. Very proud people. Take the tours, and go back and play.

One of my new favorite places

Historic center of Savannah, architecture is a visual gift in buildings, parks. It is very nice to walk the streets of this city under its trees.

Gorgeous walks, colonial buildings. If you like history, youll enjoy this outing.

A beautiful town with a lot of american history.Just go trough the little roads from square to square and enjoy.

Enjoyed what I could. I cant handle heat well. But we did thevtrolley tour which was a great help. Get there early and enjoy the hop on hop off tour so you can shop and eat and enjoy the spots on yoyrbown.

This is one of the best preserved and maintained historic districts in the country. There are many eclectic shopping, bars, museums and hotels to explore.

Wish we had more time there. Splurge on the trolley. Its a hop - on trolley and your tickets good for all day. The drivers are full of information and trivia about down town Savannah. Enjoy all the squares along the way.

Loved it!! Beautiful place to visit with so much history!Highly recommended!!

Downtown historic district is beautiful and SO much history. Great time with my daughter and she loved the city.

Savannah is hands down the most beautiful city I have ever been in. I was worried the history would be civil war totally. THE HISTORY IN SAVANNAH IS REVOLUTIONARY WAR almost exclusively. Green spaces (squares ) and parks though the whole city. Great shade from live oaks with Spanish moss hanging. At 85 dregrees you are not uncomfortable to walk the city Lyft and uber are good car services. Driving is not a problem parking Is the issue $$.if you drive everywhere every day. If you stay in district park your car in garage $12 day and walk or uber you are minutes walk to everything history river front shopping eating drinking dancing river. Take your phone an Google maps you wont get lost &you can look up the history of the thing you are looking at. Technology is wonderful for travel. You could eat in a restaurant with very good to Great food every day for at least a year and not go the same place twice. Do not stay for less than 4days. If you are a history addict it would take 10 days to do half in depth and that is just downtown. Do research before you go.

Seven days in Savannah, the first capitol of Georgia. Everywhere you look is eye candy! Perfect hospitality and ambience! Fun nightlife!

American history. Beautiful town
