But probably the best part was our guide Chris. Chris is this twenty something,college educated world traveler. He is cute as can be with his blond pony tail and best of all …..what a free spirt! He is fun and there is some serious entertainment factor hanging out with Chris for 90 minutes.These two middle aged women from Ohio had big fun.And after our tour was done… And not surprising ….that Chris .knows where all the best deals on happy hour are 🙂
The tour is free but the guides accept tips. I recommend this tour highly. You will learn a lot, be engaged and thirst for more information about this charming city.



A little more about our Historic Free Savannah Walking Tour
We saunter through the streets of Savannah, absorbing the old city and passing thru the squares beneath the majestic Spanish moss of the Live Oaks. Throughout the adventure we will discuss Savannah’s from present day, back to the Colonial times, and our experience thru times of war, prosperity, famine, plague, and stardom. Lasts 90 minutes.
The BEST value tour I have ever taken. We have visited Savannah many times over the years and generally shun guided tours, independent travelers all the way. We decided at the last minute to take a tour w “Free Walking Tours”. We met Daniel, our guide, for the tour in late afternoon that same day. He was a great guide, entertaining, personable, and he certainly knew his history and the city of Savannah. He spoke w great authority and accuracy on people, events, and landmarks. There was no tourist hype or manufactured stories on this tour. What was initially listed as a 90 minute tour ending up lasting more than two hours. Daniel went the extra mile to make sure that the tour was enjoyable and we left feeling that we had received the “Real Deal” and not a tourist hustle. I misplaced my video camera at one of the historic squares and Daniel went as far as to run more than 8 city blocks and back to try to find it for me. That’s going the extra mile for sure. Take this tour. No matter how well you know Savannah, you will learn much more on this tour. The only negative is that we did not tip Daniel enough for the tour and we will correct this error by mail tomorrow.
Our guide was Daniel and he was awesome. Very friendly and personable, but most importantly, he knew his stuff. We learned tons about Savannah history and landmarks while enjoying the walk around the historic district. This was a really good way to get an ‘intro’ to the city as we had not been before. You could tell that Daniel loves what he does. He never seemed in a hurry to ‘get it over with’ and even hung around for awhile after the tour asking if anyone needed restaurant advice, etc.
This is a free tour, but they do depend on tips. You’ll have no problem tipping as it is well worth it!


We found that our tour guide was just as good as guides on the paid tours and the tour was just as informative. The tour was interesting and covered a little of everything giving a good overview of Savannah. It lasted about 80-90 minutes, and the walk was easy. The guide put us in the shade when possible because it was a hot day.
Of course everyone tips the guide at the end of the tour, but you pay what you can or what you think it’s worth. If you really didn’t think it was good, you could walk away without paying anything. However, it’s a very good tour so bring money to tip.
We found out about the walk the day before we left Savannah, and sure, this is an excellent walk on our first day, but also on your last day because it is a wrap! Daniel was our tour guide and he was infectiously enthusiastic about all topics, brimming, yes, brimming with knowledge, and excellent at pacing his information in a totally engaging and I might add, tantalizing, manner. You will learn a lot about Savannah if you take this tour on your first day, and you will get a terrific review if you are on your way out. But you know, it is Savannah, so you will be back. In any case, go Daniel!

Chris
Guide at Free Savannah Walking Tours
Hi! I’m Chris, a Savannah native and a graduate of Georgia Southern University. After my college days concluded, I found work in Rome, Italy where I got involved leading historical walking tours of Vatican City – and the most fun – Pub Crawls from the Spanish Steps. After spending a few years of moving around and living in various places abroad, the draw of home became too strong. I returned in the Spring of 2013 with hopes of providing my city of Savannah with her first and only Free Walking Tour. Now I ramble around the downtown squares introducing people to my favorite city in the world, Savannah.

Daniel
Guide at Free Savannah Walking Tours
I’m Daniel, a born-and-raised Savannah native, and proud alum of the University of Georgia (Go Dawgs!). Not content at first to just stay put in my charming little hometown, I spent a few years living and traveling abroad after college. While traveling to more than 20 different countries, I enjoyed nothing more than the many free tours I took myself! After living and guiding in Philadelphia, I began to miss my childhood home and returned in the summer of 2013. I immediately joined the Free Savannah Walking Tour team. I’m just as excited now to be the one giving the tours as I were to be the one taking them, and as a new member of the Georgia Historical Society I’m always interested in learning even more about my beloved Savannah.

Free Savannah Tours Meeting Location
We included this walking tour on our first day in Savannah. Daniel was very knowledgeable and informative. Well worth the time. Now we know what we want to do and see on the 2nd day.
They say ” the best things in life are free” this is definitely true with the Free Savannah Tour. Chris is a wonderful, friendly guide. You get a good idea about the history of Savannah and the “sidestories” about eg Forrest Gump makes the tour enjoyable. It is a good way to start your visit in Savannah.
“The word free scared us at first, but it ended up being the best tour we’ve ever had.”
