Our three regular tours offer an overview of Savannah, a look at the city and its residents during the Civil War, and a variety of tales about the city, the people who have lived here, and some who live here today. You can also customize a tour to your agenda and curiosity. Some suggestions: A cemetery tour (there are several beautiful and historic burial grounds in and around the city). A look at Colonial and Revolutionary War sites. A walk through the city with stops at one or more of our beautiful house museums. A look at some of the sites from John Berendt's book "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil." There are many more avenues to be explored by visitors with special interests. Individuals and groups can arrange tours of half a day or longer. Savannah, the Walking City schedules tours by appointment for the convenience of our visitors. We will meet you at a location and time convenient to you and schedule an end to your tour at a similarly convenient location. We schedule tours with first-callers, but may add others at the same starting time and location. Groups are, however, kept small so your experience in Savannah will be a personal one. Savannah, the Walking City is owned and operated by licensed Savannah tour guide Bob Markwalter, who has lived in Savannah for five years but has family ties that go back much further - his family is from Augusta, and his father was born at Savannah's Mary Telfair Hospital. Markwalter holds a degree in history and political science and has worked in preservation issues and historic sites for over 35 years. He has written and led walking tours for most of that time. Savannah, the Walking City will give you the feel of our town when it was a walking city. Merchants and mechanics regularly walked to their jobs until streetcars made Victorian suburbs feasible after the Civil War. The Walking City is today the Historic Landmark District, the Savannah of colonial founder James Oglethorpe, Revolutionary War figures Lachlan McIntosh and Button Gwinnett, a young U.S. Army Lieutenant named Robert E. Lee, renowned poet Conrad Aiken, and yes, those people from "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil." Savannah, the Walking City wants you to see the city as those people saw it, and as others both great and humble have done. Savannah is a beautiful city whose lovely, urbane plan of squares and broad avenues makes it even today one of America's most inviting destinations. We think you will leave with the same enthusiasm for our home that Robert E. Lee managed when he recalled Savannah as "That city of cities! That place of places!!" Then again, maybe you'll want to stay. You're welcome to do that, too.
