Historische savanne-wandeltocht
Beschrijving
Onze Savannah History Walk is een uitstekende manier om je te oriënteren op het verleden van Savannah. We beginnen op het oudste plein van Savannah en schetsen de oprichting van zowel Savannah als Georgia. Van daaruit gaan we naar het zuiden, vierkant voor vierkant, en bespreken we Savannah's booms en busts. Enkele onderwerpen die aan bod komen zijn onder meer het Oglethorpe-plan voor pleinen, de vader-zoon-sfeer van Revolutionaire Savannah, het beroemdste duel van de stad, presidentiële bezoeken, het tijdperk van de burgeroorlog en de federale bezetting, de ervaring van Antebellum en naoorlogse Afro-Amerikanen, en de kerken en historische huizen in de stad. We gaan met ons gesprek tot aan de toeristenboom die door een bepaald boek is veroorzaakt, de groeiende haven van Savannah, en waar de stad vanaf hier naartoe gaat. Je hoort ook over tientallen mannen en vrouwen die deze plek hebben gemaakt tot wat het is. Dit is Savannah's meest diepgaande en uitgebreide historische tour. Of je nu een toerist bent of al lang inwoont, je zult weglopen met een grotere waardering voor alles wat met Savannah te maken heeft.
Rondreisopties
Reisroute
We gaan door de hoofdstraat van Savannah via enkele van de mooiste pleinen in de stad. We gaan er in totaal vijf bezoeken. We zullen ongeveer 20 minuten op elk plein doorbrengen, waarbij we zowel de geschiedenis van de stad als dat specifieke plein bespreken. Als voormalig National Park Service Ranger geniet je van de meest historisch nauwkeurige tour in de stad.

We took the 2 hour Savannah history tour and it was excellent. The tour website describes the tour well. It's not surprising that this company has won a number of awards as Savannah's best tour. Don't skimp and just take the 1 hour tour. There is so much to cover even the 2 hour tour left you wanting for more. This is the perfect introductory tour for your visit to Savannah. Savannah is a city of squares each with its own contribution to the history of Savannah. We truly felt the history of the Savannah and what makes the city unique.
We were thoroughly entertained and enlightened by Brandon as he delivered one of the best walking tours I have ever taken. As a true history buff, Brandon delived his tour with enthusiasm showing his love of Savannah's history. I highly recommend him as a tour guide and we will certainly take another tour the next time we visit the area. Well done!!!
What a supurb tour. Excelllent range of fact-based information and smaller groups. We would highly recommend! In fact, we enjoyed two of these tours with the Savannah True History tours. By far, the best! Definitely book and enjoy!
James was awesome! He is very knowledgeable and well prepared with photos/maps throughout the tour. The walk was easy and covered wide range of topics that other tours did not. I don’t know much about American history but still found myself deeply interested all the time. Highly recommended!
Great walking tour through the heart of Savannah’s historic city. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the history and the side stories to keep your attention. Highly recommend this tour and very reasonably priced.
James did a wonderful job of telling the history of Savannah and mixing it with personal stories of the people - making it so much more interesting than a school lecture session. His enthusiasm for history definitely showed through and made the tour one of the most enjoyable that I have ever taken!
This was a great way to spend two hours and get a terrific overview of the history of Savannah. Our guide James was engaging and thoroughly knowledgeable and we really appreciated the chronological approach to Savannah's past as we passed from square to square. You will come away from this tour with an appreciation of the tenacity of the founders such as James Ogelthorpe and his unique partnership with Chief Tomochichi, the resourcefulness of Mayor Dr. Richard Arnold who saved the city from Sherman's destructive march as well as modern figures such as Jim Williams featured in the best seller Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. James welcomes questions and has a clear mastery of the subject matter which lets him deliver it in a compelling way.
We really enjoyed our walking history tour with James! We learned so much about the history of Savannah while enjoying the beautiful scenery and squares of the city. Highly recommend!
Branden’s true history tour was amazing . He is a wealth of information . We felt we got a great over view of Savannah in a 2 hour period .
Thank you Brandon. Perfectly paced and very informative. Savannah was great and touring with you added to it.
