I pick up at all hotels, B&B's, Inns and the many Trolley Stops around the Downtown Savannah area about 20 minutes before tour time. I call an hour before to give an exact pick up time. Pick up has to be in the Downtown Area (Historic District and Victorian District) at a loading zone or legal trolley stop. If you are not sure, just put in the address of where you are staying and I'll let you know the best place to get picked up. As long as you are in or close to my pick up radius downtown, I'll probably be able to get you at your VRBO or INN. I CANNOT pick up South of Victory Drive. It is just too far away to do pick ups in 20 minutes. You'd have to meet the group at Bonaventure Cemetery. Also, you may MEET THE TOUR at the cemetery. Please let me know what you want to do after you book your tour so I can make arrangements.

Complete tour of the cemetery, mostly by walking tour, but we drive through the rest on the way in and way out. Its over 100 acres, but we concentrate our walking tour on the historic section. All for about the price of what the other tours charge to "meet you out there.
