My girlfriend and I are in Savannah for my surprise birthday trip (meaning I did not know we were…read morecoming here) and Savannah Coastal Ecotours has been, without a doubt, the highlight of the trip. My GF is wonderful at planning, so I knew nothing of this trip. The night before she said, 'babe, we are going kayaking in a swamp.' Well, ok, I guess? It was amazing. Let me start by saying that Kathryn and Fran are amazing hosts. Kind, funny, knowledgable, friendly and easy-going. Kathryn even made a mini-brownie cake for my birthday and served us while on the water during a snack break. We had some great conversations and a lot of laughs. As for the tour, it was fascinating and peaceful. We spent nearly three hours on the water, observing plenty of flora and fauna of the area. Additionally, since the water level was high, we were able to go through the forest, Kathryn's version of off-roading, and really got a lovely view of the water. Kathryn and Fran are experts at kayaking, so we always felt safe and they taught us a number of good techniques. I cannot recommend Savannah Coastal Ecotours enough. We had an absolute blast and next time we are in town we are going to do it again. Thank you so much for everything!

My friends and I had an amazing tour of Ebenezer Creek with Kathryn. We booked the tour several…read moremonths in advance as we were only in Savannah for 4 days. Kathryn and I corresponded via email all the details and answered all of my questions (and boy was I annoying with the questions)! We agreed on a date and location, as well as pick up at our accomodation. The week of our trip, Savannah was forecasted to have thunderstorms all week. Kathryn reached out to us and asked if we are flexible to changing the date as we originally booked Sunday, but the forecast for Saturday was more favorable. We decided to not chance it and confirmed for Saturday. Come Saturday it was a beautiful morning. Kathryn picked us up at 7:30am on the dot. She also planned ahead and had nearly everything we needed for the day, including hats and water shoes. She even had snacks and water packed for us. She literally thought of every detail!!! We were so impressed. She also was super friendly to speak with and very laid back and easy going. She even gave us a few great local restaurant recommendations in which we are very grateful for. We had a really amazing time leisurely kayaking in Ebenezer Creek (and even saw an alligator)! I highly recommend this tour and will definitely book another tour with Kathryn when I return to Savannah!!!

Savannah is one of those places that just sticks with you. Walking through the historic squares…read moreunder the oak trees with the Spanish moss feels like stepping back in time. Everything is clean, scenic, and full of character. There's a great mix of history, food, and things to do. Whether you're exploring downtown, eating at local spots, or just taking it all in, it's hard not to enjoy yourself. My family and I had an awesome time and I'd go back again without thinking twice.

I only had about eight hours to spend in Savannah, and that was nowhere near enough--but it was…read morejust enough to fall in love. As a world traveler and former airline employee, I'm not afraid to get lost in a city and explore, and Savannah felt like the perfect place to do exactly that. From the moment I arrived, the entire vibe was romantic, historic, and visually stunning. The Spanish moss draping from the trees, the cobblestone streets, and the gentle rhythm of the river along River Street created an atmosphere that felt both timeless and welcoming. One of the highlights for me was seeing the beautiful span of the Talmadge Memorial Bridge and wandering through the iconic squares--each one peaceful, shaded, and thoughtfully designed with fountains and tree-lined pathways that almost form natural archways overhead. The city grid is laid out so well that it makes exploring easy and enjoyable, even if you're short on time. What really struck me was the architecture. The homes, the gas lanterns on porches, the historic buildings--it all felt like a refined throwback to another era. Elegant, charming, and full of character. You can sense the pride in preservation here. And seeing the presence of SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design) throughout the city adds another layer of creativity and energy that makes the whole place feel vibrant and alive. Savannah embodies what I imagine when I think of Southern lifestyle--gracious, beautiful, and a little bit magical. Bottom line: Savannah is a city meant to be savored, not rushed. I barely scratched the surface in my short visit, but it left such a strong impression that I already know I'll be back--next time with more time to wander, explore, and most definitely eat my way through this gorgeous city.

You'll also see the square where the largest slave auction in US history took place. It is all very sad but so interesting and important to understand what really took place. The only thing we thought we would mention- on the tour, you are told that the holes in the floor of the First Baptist church were for the people on the Underground Railroad to breathe through. We then took the guided tour through the church, and they said that was not true. It was just to let the "wood breathe" and that the "underground railroad" was actually people being moved on boats in the river here. Thank you!

The mix of old brick buildings and lively atmosphere makes it feel unique compared to a lot of other places. The vibe really stands out. It is busy but in a fun way, not overwhelming. You see families, couples, and groups all enjoying the area, and it just has that welcoming energy. Whether you are there during the day or at night, it feels like there is always something to see.
