FAQ
Activity FAQs
How long are the walks?
The Savannah Walks last about an hour and a half, with about a mile or so of easy walking. The duration may vary depending on the pace of the group and the number of questions, as certain tours often stimulate lively discussion.
We encourage you to wear comfortable walking shoes, bring along some water along, and dress for the weather.
Women experiencing a difficult pregnancy, the elderly, and people who have trouble walking should carefully consider their ability to walk these distances with a group.
What about the weather?
Our walking tours depart rain or shine, but there are weather conditions to consider when visiting The Hostess City:
Rain
Our professional, licensed guides are committed to providing you with the highest quality walking tours available in Savannah, and if you feel your guide has done an excellent job then gratuities are certainly appreciated. If you feel your guide has not provided you with first rate service, the you should call or email us so we can address your concerns as quickly as possible.
We are often asked what amount is customary or appropriate. Simply put, it varies widely. Some may be lucky enough to be on one of our regularly scheduled tours with just a few people, in which case the average amount usually goes up. With larger groups the average amount tends to drift down a bit. Tipping reflects customer appreciation for excellent service and is greatly appreciated, but never required.
Is parking available?
Despite the more than 3,000 parking meters scattered throughout the Historic District, we recommend using one of the nearby parking garages located on the map. Please arrive in the Historic District early enough before your tour to allow time to park, grab a cup of coffee, and even use the restroom. If you do use a metered parking space, please make certain you have more than enough time on it. If the halls of Congress were filled with civil servants as industrius and hard working as our Savannah Parking Services Officers, the problems of the nation would be solved in a few short years.
Our best bet is to plan ahead and acquire a Visitor Day Pass, which:
- Provides unlimited parking in any City parking garage or lot
- Allows parking overtime at parking meters with time limits greater than one hour
- Is good for 48 hours from the time of purchase
- Cost is $7 for one day and $12 for two days
Passes are available at:
- Many hotels and inns
- The Savannah Visitors Center
- The Parking Services office

Accessibility
Savannah, founded in 1733, is America’s first planned city. In fact, the City’s famous grid design has changed little since 1852, when the last of the squares was laid out. As such, the cobblestones, high curbs and surprising lack of curb cuts make navigating city streets a challenging affair for those relying on wheelchairs or scooters.
