We can probably produce a step-on guide for almost any tour you care to name, but these are the most popular.

Prices for step-on tours are in this pdf file.

90-Minute or 2-hour Tour of Savannah's Historic District

Gracie Watson's grave in Bonaventure Cemetery

In 1733, James Oglethorpe designed Savannah around 24 tree-filled squares. Spanish moss hangs from oaks arching over antebellum mansions, and in every square there are benches, where people eat lunch and enjoy the trees and flowers.

Enjoy the eccentric history of the thirteenth colony. See River Street, home of the first Port of Savannah, lined with cotton warehouses built of Savannah brick. In spring, enjoy the dogwoods and azaleas. We often include a walking tour of the Cathedral.

3-hour Low Country Tour

A visit to some of the historic sites around Savannah. Each guide has favorites, but usually we shall see Fort Pulaski, built to defend the mouth of the Savannah River before the Civil War. We'll look at salt marsh and rivers, ante-bellum houses on The Bluff at Isle of Hope, and a stately live oak allée at Wormsloe Plantation.

This tour usually includes a visit to Byrd Cookie Company for refreshments and shopping. If you wish, you can also include a short walk among the Victorian gravestones and live oaks into Bonaventure Cemetery on the banks of the Wilmington River.

Temple Mickve Israel

2-hour Jewish History Tour

Jewish settlers from Spain and Portugal arrived in Savannah in 1733, only a few months after the first English settlers. They were the third Jewish congregation in America and they brought with them the oldest Torah in the U.S.

Direct descendats of these first Jewish settlers still live in Savannah. This tour includes a tour of Temple Mickve Israel in Monterey Square. In 2008, the congregation celebrates its 275th anniversary in Savannah. It owns the only Victorian Gothic synagogue in America.

Add any of these to a step-on Tour

Note that any additions to a step-on tour must be booked at the time the tour is booked because all of these attractions are closed at certain times of the week.
