Private and Luxury

Private and luxury tours make up 72% of Savannah’s tour offerings, with 199 options out of 277 total. These tours promise smaller groups, more personal attention, and deeper dives into Savannah’s history, culture, and culinary scene. The median starting price in this category is $63, but more than half are available under $30, making the private experience accessible.

Travelers who choose these tours often want to avoid crowds and get more from their time in Savannah, whether that means a deep historical walk, a culinary adventure, or a ghostly evening stroll. With only 11% of private and luxury tours rated below 4 stars, the majority deliver strong experiences, but reading reviews and comparing what’s included is key to finding the right fit.

With 199 private and luxury tours, Savannah offers more options in this category than most destinations. This segment covers everything from walking tours to food tastings and cemetery visits, reflecting the city’s layered history and vibrant culture. The median price for private and luxury tours is $63, matching the medians for walking, cultural, and historical tours in Savannah.

Compared to the citywide median of $31, private and luxury tours can cost more, but 113 options are priced below $30. Only 17 tours exceed $250, so most travelers will find a match in the lower price bands. The wide range means you can choose between basic guided walks and in-depth, multi-hour experiences with extras like food tastings or transportation.

The catalogue-wide median is higher than the city average due to some private tours being priced per vehicle, but most of the best-reviewed options in this category are per person and fall under $50.

If you want a classic introduction to Savannah, walking tours like the Historic Savannah Guided Walking Tour ($23) cover the essentials at a low price. These are popular with first-time visitors and those who want a broad overview, but some reviewers found the experience too scripted or lacking depth—especially if the guide’s delivery is flat or the group is large.

For those drawn to Savannah’s haunted reputation, ghost tours such as Genteel and Bard’s Savannah Dark History and Ghost Encounter ($26) and the Savannah History and Haunts Candlelit Ghost Walking Tour ($29) are highly rated and entertaining. However, some guests on the former were frustrated by technical issues with headsets or felt the storytelling was overdone. On the latter, a few found it hard to hear the guide or were confused by unclear meeting instructions.

Bonaventure Cemetery tours are a highlight for many, with both walking and golf cart options. The 1-Hour Bonaventure Cemetery Golf Cart Guided Tour ($29) is praised for its knowledgeable guides and comfort, but some found it rushed or had negative experiences with guide attitudes. The Bonaventure Cemetery Walking Tour with Transportation ($36) stands out for including transport and personal touches, though a few guests wanted more focus on the history of the people buried there.

If you want something different, “Savannah for Morons” Comedy Trolley Tour ($44) offers a comedic take on local history, but reviews are sharply divided: some loved the humor, while others found it too vulgar or lacking substance. The Savannah First Squares Culinary & Cultural Walking Food Tour ($73) is the priciest listed, offering multiple food stops and a longer duration, but some reviewers questioned the value for the price and found the food stops basic or the guide unfriendly. Across the category, the best-rated tours consistently feature engaging guides and clear itineraries, while lower ratings most often cite guide delivery, group size, or unmet expectations about content.
