See the Historic District without walking it
Savannah is bigger than it looks on the map. Forsyth Park to River Street is a long walk over uneven cobblestones — on the open-air cruiser you sit back, nothing blocks your view or your photos, and your guide connects every square into one story.
Live storytelling, not a recording
Your local guide tells the stories behind the squares — the Forrest Gump bench site, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, the cotton trade and nearly 300 years of Savannah history.
10+
landmarks in 75 minutes
Chippewa Square · Forsyth Park · Monterey Square · Cathedral Basilica · Olde Pink House · Factors Walk · River Street · City Hall · City Market.
Easy for every generation
Seated the whole way, no sore feet — grandparents, kids and anyone still tired from the drive all get the same front-row view.
