상품 설명

On your Private Walking Tour, we guide you through the heart of the historic district from Wright Square to Forsyth Park. During this tour you will experience the perfect introduction of Savannah as you discover how and why Savannah was established. You will learn about the unique layout of our squares, gain insights about people who impacted Savannah. Of course, everyone wants to know where Forrest sat with his box of chocolates and find the house from ‘Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil’. When you join us on tour, you are ‘our guest’ in Savannah, not a ‘tourist on tour’!

If you have been to Savannah before and want to stroll off the beaten path, we are happy to do that.
Do you have specific interests? We can do that too. When we say this tour is about you our guest, we mean exactly that. Wanna grab a cup of coffee or 'to-go' cup, we will stop for that too!

The Independent Presbyterian Church was founded in 1755 on Ellis Square (originally Market Square), but was destroyed by fire. Rebuilding on Telfair Square and destroyed by a hurricane.

Here you will see where Forrest Gump sat with his box of chocolates, while waiting for the bus. The monument in the center of Chippewa Square is General James Oglethorpe, not Captain Morgan. We agree he does look a lot like Captain Morgan, and it would be appropriate since Savannah does allow to-go cups. Here you will learn about he man behind the colony of Savannah, and what his monument represents.

Completed in 1853, this house is the finest example for Gothic Architecture in the south. This house cost $93,000, or $3.2 million today, and was the most expensive home in Savannah during the 1800s. This home made history as being the Headquarters for General Sherman during his March to the Sea, when he occupied Savannah.

The Gryphon Tea Room is located inside what we call the Shriner's Building. Inside the Gryphon Tea room is a museum in itself, once being used as Solomon's Apothecary, and still has the original mahogany cabinetry and cubbies used to store the medicines. The Gryphon Tea Room is one of our favorites for lunch, dinner or to relax with a cup of tea!

The Mercer Williams house, made famous by the book Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil, written by John Berendt. This is a true story of Jim Williams, who purchased the home in 1969, and the shooting of his assistant Danny 1981. The book was released in 1993, and on New York best seller list for 216 weeks, longer than any book in history. A few years later, the movie was released and helped put Savannah on the map of tourism. After-all, everyone loves a good scandal every once in a while. We recommend reading the book, or at least watching the movie prior to visiting Savannah.

Now known as the Armstrong-Kessler house, we will talk about the history of the home, and who lives in this 26,000+ square foot home today. This is the one home in town where everyone gasps "WOW' and has to stop to admire. This is an absolutely magnificent home and one not to be missed. This is a private home today and not open for tours.

Forsyth Park, this is where our tour ends. This park began in 1848 with only 10 acres, today it covers 30 acres. It is our Central Park and enjoyed by young and old alike. The crowning jewel of Savannah, our Forsyth Park Fountain. What most people don't realize is that this was a catalog mail order from France and installed in 1858. It is must-see and you must have your picture taken in front of this amazing fountain.
