Itinerary
During our tour we'll take a leisurely drive through some of the most iconic parts of the Historic District pointing out many of our beautiful squares and most picturesque parks.
To start, we'll drive a loop around Savannah's iconic Foryth Park and learn it's history as well as some commonly unknown facts about the park including its fountain and surrounding landmarks.
Made famous in the book and film Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, the Mercer Williams house is located on Monterrey square, right off of Forsyth Park and is an absolute requirement to seeing Savannah.
One of Savannah's central and iconic squares, we'll loop this destination and learn the history of the city's original plan.
The Telfair Academy is one of Savannah's most historic museums, accompanied by the Jepson Center on the opposite corner. You'll see both on our drive, including the Telfair's iconic entrance and classical statues.
City Market in Savannah is home to outdoor events, food destinations, art galleries and more. We'll drive through each loop of the Market so that you can see it all.
River street is iconic from end to end and you'll see it all while we coast along the cobblestones in our iconic Citroen convertible.
Savannah's Colonial Cemetery is beautiful as well as somber and you'll learn its history on the tour as well as see the historic building abutting it, including the historic Savannah police station and jail.
The Lucas Theatre is historic and beautiful enough in and of itself but we'll use it as a jumping off point for showing you the lively Broughton Street, our main shopping thoroughfare.
The old Armory Building at the south end of Forsyth Park makes the perfect spot to wrap up our tour and is a great spot to find coffee, lunch, or even a bottle of wine in its several shops.

Our Tour guide, Daniel (I think), was great. He was on time, friendly, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
Daniel picked us up at our hotel in his vintage Citroen with an open rolltop. He had sun hats and sunscreen available for the ride (which were necessary since it was hot & sunny). He was friendly, very knowledgeable & gave us a great orientation tour of historic Savannah and the tourist district.
My husband loves cars and this tour didn’t disappoint. Daniel was a knowledgeable tour guide. The small car was surprisingly comfortable. It was well worth the price.
Had a wonderful time and learned a lot of historical information. My daughter enjoyed it as much as I did, which is something for a teenager!
Great relaxing thorough historical private tour for two. Quaint downtown Savannah visit. Highly recommend.
My wife and I have been visiting Savannah since 2011. We’ve been doing 2 to 3 tours every year and we wanted to try something different. This was the perfect one for that. This tour is great because it’s tailored to you and it private to just those in the car. The car is also a fun way to get around town. Get ready to be looked at like a celebrity!
Loved traveling in the vintage auto for this tour of Savannah. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We loved the personal touch to an a private tour of the city
A couple days before our scheduled tour, the tour operator contacted & informed us that the date and time we reserved could not be honored. he offered a time later that same day. However, we had a full day of reserved tours so impossible to make changes. We don't know exactly why our tour got canceled.
Hi Carol, and thank you for leaving a review but unfortunately part of booking a personal tour with a private guide means that occasionally a tour will have to be rebooked. I don't show any cancellations from when your review was posted so it's possible that the problem was on the end of whatever third party platform you booked through, but if it was on our end, I'm deeply sorry. I promise that every time we have a scheduling problem I try my absolute best to make things work for the guest.
Tour was excellent. We did it at the start of our stay In Savannah and was very helpful learning about the city. Highly recommend
Daniel was fantastic… he is extremely knowledgeable and gave us a good sense of the city. Would highly recommend.
