Along the way, you’ll hear lively tales told by some of Savannah’s most illustrious “spirits” – from deceased theater performers to dead pirates – who hop on the trolley to tell their terrifying tales of woe. Learn whether Savannah socialite Matilda Sorrel actually killed herself, uncover Civil War secrets from Confederate soldiers, discover where the victims in the Siege of Savannah are buried and “meet” some of Savannah’s most frightful historic figures.

Living on the coast certainly has its advantages and it would be downright silly of us not to – well – take advantage of it. You could call this the ‘surf and turf’ tour option (which is likely what will be on your dinner plate tonight). But until then, we highly suggest you spend your afternoon on the Savannah River Queen paddleboat for an utterly relaxing cruise down Savannah’s waterway paired with an Overview (90 Minute) Trolley tour.

You choose which comes first, the boat or the trolley, ‘cause sugah’, we aim to please and either way you can’t go wrong!

Walk With Me Savannah Tours presents 'Rising Voices', a Savannah history tour exclusively featuring underrepresented narratives and figures.

Historically too many narratives have been minimized or just left out of society's carefully crafted histories. Take a walking tour where we instead exclusively highlight those underrepresented voices.

We will focus on the lives and accomplishments of black, native, queer, and female residents of Savannah and how they impacted the world around them, in such a way that Savannah as it stands would not exist without each and every one of them.

Tours start in Franklin Square and conclude in Monterey Square.
