WHAT ABOUT THE WEATHER?

Our walking tours depart rain or shine, but there are weather conditions to consider when visiting The Hostess City:

Rain
At Savannah Gigi, we want you to have the best experience possible! If there is light rain we will go out at scheduled, however if we’ve been watching the radar all day and it looks like a major system is coming through you will be notified at least 1 hour before the tour start time. We make every attempt to reschedule at your convenience or offer a refund on your ticket.

Heat
In the summer months the heat index can reach over 100º F, please plan accordingly. Stay hydrated, wear sunscreen, and bug spray (Savannah perfume) is ALWAYS recommended.

WILL LOCALS ENJOY THE TOUR OR IS IT MOSTLY FOR TOURISTS?

Our tours provide accurate historical information and local lore about the city you live in, Taking a tour is a great way to entertain out-of-town guests or to spend a special occasion. I have lived in Savannah for 11 years and been a tour guide for 10 of them, and whenever I wander the city I learn something new about it.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

Make sure you are comfortable and dressed appropriately for the weather. Wear flat comfortable shoes for walking on the cobblestones.

HOW MUCH WALKING IS INVOLVED?

Our tours are a leisurely stroll ranging from 90 minutes to 2 hours. During that time, we cover about 1.5 to 2 miles per tour with opportunities to stop and rest.
