Savannah Historic District Tour by The Wandering Historians
There's good reason Ken Burns' American Journeys tour selected us as contract recipients - we've been unearthing and telling the untold story of Savannah for over 30 years now. That's who we are. We do this through capable historians, librarians, writers, archivists, genealogists, and storytellers who have met the strictest standards of Shannon Scott. Hopefully, that speaks to you. We begin at the beginning in Savannah's Colonial areas and weave not just the parables, but the next great story chapters of Georgia's earliest settlers from ancient mound builders, Indians, Europeans, and Africans and the story of its architects, religions, women, Industrialists, Freemasons, epic wars and much more in what will become your favorite history tour! All told by colorful characters themselves through their own eyes of understanding with humanity, intellect, humor, and everything that encompasses one of America's and The South's greatest, perhaps most surprising city melting pot of stories!
Trivia Tour offers Small group sizes. Never more than 15 in a group with an average of 10. Trivia Tour is an hour and a half walking tour which covers approximately 1.5 miles at a gentle walking pace with plenty of opportunities to sit on a park bench, take pictures, and explore Savannah. Trivia Tour engages participants through exciting trivia questions about the city of Savannah's: history, haunting's, economic development, movie scenes, famous Savannians, and geography. Trivia questions and answers will be given throughout the tour and concludes with a bonus round at the end of the tour. Just like in the classroom, a prize will be given to the contestant with the most points. Play with your friends as a team against others on the tour or play as an individual against your friends. Trivia Tour engages students/tourists with fun questions and student engagement. You may be the class clown or the teachers pet! Storytelling is an old Irish gift.
