This tour is intentionally designed as a small-group experience so guests can enjoy a more personal and engaging exploration of Savannah’s Historic District. Rather than rushing from stop to stop, we take time to understand how Savannah’s unique city plan, historic squares, and landmarks shaped its development from 1733 onward. Because group sizes are limited, guests can comfortably hear, ask questions, and interact throughout the tour. The pace is relaxed with frequent shaded stops, making it ideal for visitors who want depth and storytelling without feeling hurried. It’s not just about seeing Savannah — it’s about understanding it.

This was Shannon Scott's original 1990's tour that started everything! Colonial Park Cemetery serves as the biggest story graveyard in the whole Historic District! Its the oldest patch of city land one can visit and where you'll see materials far older than the surrounding Victorian City. In Savannah's colonial hours, this is where every town meeting, picnic, wedding, duel and public execution was conducted! Eventually it would be the final resting place of Gen Nathanael Greene, 2 signers of The Declaration of Independence, merchants, priests, paupers, soldiers and just about every character that gave blood, sweat and tears to the early colony and later nation. Less we forget how Yellow Fever turned it all into a mass grave resulting in the permanent closure in 1853. Discussions also extend to the Root Doctor culture ritualism, The Old City Jail, Conrad Aiken Birthplace, Dueling Grounds and all complete with visual images to enhance the experience.
