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 book was released in 1993, and on New York best seller list for 216 weeks, longer than any book in history.
