Passing through Savannah on road trip we were just in town for one day and a night, so had to prioritize what we wanted to do. With that being said, upon researching the area, Dan's tour came up as almost unanimously the best thing to do in Savannah. To say we learnt a lot and had a great time would be an understatement, Dan gave us a broad overview of many elements of Savannah's rich and diverse history. We were visiting from Florida, so we knew it would be hot, but as it was a very shaded route with plenty of stops it was not an issue. As Dan advices on the website, pack water, and sunscreen. The walk itself is very dog friendly and at a leisurely pace suited to all levels of fitness. Finding dog friendly activities is always high on our list, and plus the wealth of knowledge and passion Dan has it was a no brainer! Due to the heat, some other guests had to reschedule their time, so we were lucky enough to have a private tour, which probably would be worth an additional star on its own! Dan as a host was witty, engaging and brought Savannah to life. We have already recommended Savannah Dan to multiple people and will continue to moving forward. read more

Our private historical walking tour with Savannah Dan was an absolute highlight of our trip! With only three days to explore the city, this tour gave us an incredible amount of insight into Savannah's rich history, charm, and Southern character. Savannah Dan was brilliant--engaging, witty, and impressively knowledgeable. He delivered a fantastic mix of solid historical facts (which my husband especially appreciated) along with fun and quirky trivia that kept me intrigued throughout. His storytelling brought the city's past to life in a way that was both entertaining and deeply informative. You'll walk away from this tour with a much deeper understanding of the South and the many layers that make Savannah such a unique and beautiful place. Highly recommended for anyone wanting more than just a casual stroll--this is the real deal! read more

The best, most informative, entertaining and captivating tour that I've had in Savannah.

Highly recommend for anyone who wants a truly educational tour about the wonderful city which is Savannah!! read more

We had a fantastic tour with Savannah Dan! He was a wealth of information and made it very interesting as well. Would highly recommend.

First of all, as a fellow southerner, my apologies to Savannah Dan - I've been meaning to get my review out there for months now! That aside, let's talk about just why and how he was so great! From the moment we saw him walking up, we knew we made the right decision. Dan carries himself like a man who knows his business. I'd found him after scouring the web and Yelp for an informative and entertaining tour guide while we were in Savannah celebrating our anniversary. He was instantly engaging, not overly "in character" and gave us a solid tour with plenty of southern embellishments at each spot of significance. Of course he was wearing the seersucker suit and hat like you've seen in his advertisements and here on Yelp. I've even added a few of my own, just in case. We were sweaty messes but Dan kept his cool the entire time. Just in case the name didn't give it away, it is a walking tour so please make sure you wear comfortable shoes. It is a pretty decent walk. There is a stop in the middle at a lcal bar for refreshments and air conditioning, but being comfortable really is the way to approach anything in Savannah during the summertime! You'll also need to call and make a reservation - maybe well in advance too. There might be other, or cheaper, options out there, but we saw his competition in the park and knew we made the better choice. No regrets taking the tour at all - we had a great time! I hope he continues giving tours for years to come so I can make recommendations to all of my friends venturing to Savannah. read more

Savannah Dan offers a comfortable walking tour with an incredible amount of historical information about the city. Smart, friendly, funny, full of great restaurant and event recommendations - we'd highly recommend it. Consider going early during in your time in Savannah so you can make the most of his recommendations! We've eaten at several places we would not of known about and scheduled two other tours based on his thoughts. read more

We booked this tour last minute, and we are so glad we did. We were lucky enough to be the only family on the tour, so we had Dan's full attention. He is a wealth of knowledge about so many things, and also a pleasant person to spend the morning with. We highly recommend this tour even if you are not a history buff. read more

My boyfriend and I met Dan at our bed and breakfast (Amethyst Inn....highly recommend). From there, we continued on a two hour leisurely stroll of historic Savannah...including a whiskey sample! If your looking for a fun, entertaining way to learn about Savannah, don't miss an afternoon with Savannah Dan! Fabulous tour! read more

This might be the first Yelp review I've ever written, I'm honored it's for Savannah Dan. He made our recent trip to Savannah the amazing experience it was. We arrived into town on Friday evening, so I thought a Saturday morning walking tour would be best to get a "lay of the land" to make the most of our stay, we honestly could not have picked a better tour guide. He's a gentleman with a wealth of knowledge, a great personality, and his tour was a lot of fun. You'll learn about history of the city, check out the current sights to see, he even makes recommendations for the best restaurants to visit during your trip. His restaurant recommendations alone were really just incredible. His walking tour was a highlight of our trip. If you're planning a trip to Savannah, start off with a tour from Savannah Dan! You will not be disappointed. read more

A lot of interesting facts about the history of Savannah, mainly focusing on the revolutionary war, war of 1812 and the civil war. We visited about 6 of the squares and got the history associated with them, but he ended our two hour private tour about 20 minutes early and overall he just seemed annoyed with us and having to do a tour that afternoon. Maybe it was just an off day, but I spoke with some other locals and heard comments about him being a bit arrogant and sometimes not very kind. It was a fine tour and helped orient us to the city, but I wouldn't recommend to friends or family visiting Savannah. read more

Savanah Dan was a wonderful tour! He was extremely knowledgeable about Savannah and its history. He was very personable and charming and made the tour fun.

We had a great time on the tour. Dan was an encyclopedia of history and interesting stories. Don't miss this tour.

Great experience, we have been on several tours while in Savannah and this has been the best. Several stories we've never heard before, and plenty of light witted humor. Dan engages the audience with trivia questions as you walk along. The total distance was about 1.4 miles and you tour 5 different squares. #savannahisopen read more

This was our second time doing a tour with Savannah Dan and he did not disappoint. My husband and I did a tour over a decade ago and enjoyed it so much that we brought our children (7 and 9) back to Savannah and signed up for a private tour. Our tour was completely different from the one we did previously but just as informative, and he could keep our children engaged for the entire 2 hours. Our children enjoyed it so much that they told our friends whom we met up with in Savannah about it, who then signed up for a tour a few days after us. Definitely recommend it and will most likely do another one next time we are back in Savannah!! read more

This was my first trip to Savannah and I took the 2 hour tour in the morning on the day after arriving in Savannah. The tour provided a good foundation for the rest of my stay. Savannah Dan was informative and interesting. His delivery is polished and at times entertaining( he may be a bit full of himself but understandably so), and the tour well paced with a short rest and refreshment stop. I would recommend taking this tour. read more

Savannah Dan is the man. We were part of a group tour this past Saturday, 2/24. The tour was absolutely delightful. Got to see and hear a lot about Savannah and its history. Walking the streets with Dan was far more immersive than riding around in a trolly. The man is a walking encyclopedia of the city. We learned so much and really enjoyed the rest of our visit because of the knowledge we gained. I would recommend Savannah Dan without reservation. Thank you SD!! read more

An amazing and insightful Savannah walking tour! First did Dan's historic tour in 2011 and it was awesome, recommended to many friends and family.

Dan's walking tour was excellent, entertaining, and very informative. The time was well spent listening to Dan tell the history of Savannah.

This is my favorite about Savannah! You need to call in advance to book a spot for the tour and pay him cash at the end of the tour. The tour starts at Johnson Square and is about two hours long. Dan is hilarious; you won't get bored at all. Even if you are not a big fan of history, he will make the time enjoyable. You will learn lots about Savannah's past and present. He is also a great resource if you need some advice on where to eat, and what to do in Savannah. I'd highly recommended this tour if you ever come to Savannah!

We just had a tour of Savannah with Savannah Dan. We lucked out and ended up being the only people and it turned into a private tour. Dan is a wealth of information on Savannah (his favorite place in Savannah is their historical society) I liked how he engaged us in the tour which kept us involved and paying attention. He does talk a little fast, so you really have to listen. It was an amazing fun learning experience and I'd highly recommended for teens and adults as there is a lot of walking. Thank you s much Dan! Ps I'm 6' 1" so Dan is pretty tall. Also don't forget to ask Dan about his favorite milk shake at Leopold's Ice Cream Parlor! You won't regret it! read more

We love Savannah! And we love Savannah Dan! We have taken his tour at least four times now over different trips with different friends or family, and we love it just as much each time. If you take just one tour, take Savannah Dan's tour. You'll walk away with so much knowledge about the history of Georgia and Savannah, and with a lot of laughs as well. He's a natural story teller and clearly passionate about history. We will be back again! Thanks Dan!! read more

When you Yelp "tours" in Savannah, the results are dizzying. Ghost, food, walking, trolley, carriage... How do you know which will be worth it? After all, there's drinking on the street to do! Well, if you're interested in learning how this city came to be in a fun and entertaining way, Savannah Dan is for you! I booked a reservation a few days in advance by calling the number on their website; however, you don't pay $25 (in cash) until the end. Have a pup with you? They are welcome on the tour, as you spend the entire time outside! Even on a Tuesday at 10:00 am, we had a group of around 25 people! I was a little nervous about the crowd size but Savannah Dan's strong presence and loud voice commanded the group with ease. It lasted almost exactly two hours but we had very little questions. I could see it going a little longer with a curious group so would plan on budgeting 2.5 hours out to be safe. I really learned so much about all the main squares, how the statues within them came to be, the cemetery, other landmarks like where Forrest Gump's famous bench once stood, and Savannah Dan's personal foodie faves. You'd be remiss to visit Savannah and not go on at least one tour. I'd say this is a solid one to start with. read more

Savannah Dan's walking tour was well worth the time & money. He was super knowledgeable about this charming city. There is an enormous amount of history that he can just rattle off. I highly recommend! read more

What a way to spend a perfect day out in Savannah than Savannah Dan's Walking Tour - I came to know about Savannah Dan through the SILB Squad and they never fail when it comes to great recommendations and this did not disappoint. Dan's knowledge of Savannah and his take on it is extremely refreshing and his witty humor made the tour so enjoyable and a fun learning experience. Our group of 5 was pleasantly impressed and we left knowing a little more about this charming city than when we came. If you're looking for an educational walking tour (you do walk a lot but at a leisurely pace) and some great recommendations for food and bev, don't look elsewhere and book this tour. Also it was very intimate which we enjoyed as we are only a group of 7. read more

Very knowledgeable and intelligent gentleman. We really felt like we got a good history of Savannah!

My fiancé, dog, and I had a wonderful time with Savannah Dan, and I highly recommend those visiting this wonderful city to book a tour try his walking tour. Without getting into too much detail, Savannah Dan took about eight of us in a big loop around the city's historical district and eloquently highlighted the city's rich, yet dark, history. Some highlights: -About Oglethorpe, the first European settlers, and local Native Americans. -Famous haunts that reside underneath squares or inside of notable buildings. -Where to taste delicious noms, ranging from fried chicken to ice cream. -Historical events like the Civil Rights sit-ins. (One of the coolest things I learned.) -About Forrest Gump and certain scenes. -Dude dresses up in an old school, white Southern suit! (Thanks for going all-out, Savannah Dan.) Other tidbits: -Make reservations 24-hours prior, via phone. -$25 per person. -Pooch friendly. We brought our dog, Cranberry. (He was very nice to her, too.) -90-120minute tour. He takes his time and answers questions at the end, too. My lady and I went on three tours while in Savannah, and I have to say this one was my favorite. read more

One of the best walking tours I've taken. Dan is quite the character with his tweed suit, bow tie, hat, and shoes to match... At 6'6" he's hard to miss! He's an actor, comedian, historian, foodie, and tour guide. His stories are entertaining and funny, he's incredibly knowledgeable, and the length of the tour is just right (2hrs). I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get to know Savannah a bit more. I also agree with other reviewers- I think this is a way better option than the bus or trolley tours. read more
