Group Transportation

It's totally possible—and incredibly fascinating—for your group to spend days strolling through the nation's largest Landmark Historic District. But with so much here to see and do, their feet might have different plans. Check out some other ways for your group to see Savannah in style.

Unique Transportation

Trolley Tours

Savannah offers a variety of  touring options. One of the best ways to learn about the Downtown Historic District's history is to take one of the many trolley tours available. Many trolley tours offer special group rates or on/off passes, so everyone can explore the city at their own pace and get back on the trolley as they please.

Horse-Drawn Carriage Tours

Taking a horse-drawn carriage tour through Downtown Savannah can be both informative and romantic. Your group can learn about the city as you're taken through the various squares and streets. It's a good idea to contact carriage companies in advance for group reservations and availability.
