Savannah

I've never been to Savannah.

This city is apparently rich in Southern history. From the Revolutionary War to Civil War to the home of the founder of the Girl Scouts, Savannah has much history to offer tourists. Some friends of mine just got back from a lovely weekend in Savannah. These girls donned their travelin' shoes to see the many sites of the city. From Mrs. Wilkes house for lunch to the colonial cemetery, from Forsyth Fountain and the Pulaski monument, from the draw of the Atlantic ocean, Spanish moss dripping from trees and folks with a Southern drawl, Savannah has much to take in.

That I'd like to see.

Savannah City Tour

I've never been on a Savannah city tour.

I have just learned about Trusted Tours and Attractions and the great Savannah tours they offer. These city tours are perfect for any tourist or local wanting to see specific parts of the city. These tours are affordable and include docent-led tours as well as self-guided tours. Many of these tours would make an excellent way to share the city with your out of town holiday guests. By signing up for their e-newsletter, you are eligible to win four tickets for a city tour of your choice.

There is a wide variety of tours from which to choose. I think I would love to go on the Civil War tour. The Civil War is a fascinating era in American History. To be able to see some of the actual places where brother fought brother would really bring it to life. This walking tour has been a favorite for ten years. Here you can visit houses of the South's prominent generals. Discover Savannah's place in the war between the states. Learn about military strategies employed in the war.

This tour is nearly two hours in duration and will depart in light rain. Costs are $13 for adults, $7 for children ages 6-14 with kids five and under being free.

That I'd like to see.
