Everybody needs to visit Savannah! Tours, food, parking are a little pricy but you can't have everything.

Historic Savannah was perfect. There were so many things to do and everyone was so friendly! We rode the ferry, walked along the river and enjoyed live music. We walked and enjoyed looking at all the historic homes. It was a fabulous trip.

Shopping offered a variety, the food all of the restaurants we frequented was exceptional. The historic flavor and the numerous squares were magical. We spent countless hours reading many historic plaques.

Great architecture, good shopping, great dining, southern hospitality and plenty of history. Trolley Tours are great option to see and hear about the city.

We loved walking through the tree lined streets and just looking at the beautiful homes in the historic district. Every square is a treasure......pleanty of benches for people watching, cool and quiet amongst the trees.........it's just a lovely place to see!

Okay, so I'm a writer, not a famous one, but a writer and Savannah is a paradise of inspiration, beauty, and just plain fun. I love to visit Savannah and spend hours strolling the historic district, visiting the many historic properties, and people watching. I love the fact that you can hear accents and languages from the world over while... More

Beautiful houses and parks and museums we took one of the trolley tours which picked us up at the Galloway House to get the lay of the land and then spent a day walking the city and seeing the highlights

We love Savannah especially all the "squares" which are called parks in other cities. The people are friendly and there are many historical things to see.

Absolutely beautiful with 22 tree covered squares, and lots of glorious historic house. As with many cities, don't stray too far outside the historic district at night, but the tree cover keeps you cool through the hot sunny days. Loved it!

Having had a huge fire in 1820 which destroyed most of the original old city, it was rebuilt in Georgian and Victorian style. The city design nazis only allow structures and colours within very precise guidelines resulting in the 19th century integrity of the entire district being maintained. Particular gems we toured were the Owens-Thomas House and the Andrew Low... More
