Itinerary
Savannah is the South at its most cinematic. Twenty-two squares laid out in the 1700s, live oaks heavy with Spanish moss, cobblestones down by the river and a kitchen tradition that turns shrimp, grits and pecans into something you'll dream about. We'll spend a weekend living it from the inside: we'll walk the Historic District with our Group Leader, sit on the Forrest Gump bench in Chippewa Square for the photo everyone wants, and toast the trip with a welcome drink before the city shows us its other face on a ghost tour through lantern-lit streets.
On Saturday we'll eat our way through the squares on a walking food tour: shrimp and grits, fried green tomatoes, lowcountry boil and a slice of pecan pie, with a local guide explaining how the Lowcountry cooks. Then the afternoon is ours, between River Street, the house museums and the optional walk through Bonaventure Cemetery, before Congress Street comes alive at night. Sunday we'll take one last stroll and one last scoop before saying goodbye. Two nights, one crew, zero early alarms. Ready to taste Savannah for real?

Welcome to Savannah!
1 night: 1st night: Savannah
Squares, Spanish moss and a ghost story to start
Roundtrip flights or transportation to reach the destination are not included in the package, so you can decide from where and when you want to leave! This gives you complete freedom of choice to adjust your travel itinerary to your needs.
Savannah has a way of slowing you down the moment you arrive. We'll meet the group and our Group Leader at the hotel at 5 pm, then head straight out for a first walk through the Historic District: the squares laid out in 1733, the live oaks dripping with Spanish moss, and of course a photo on the Forrest Gump bench in Chippewa Square. We'll raise a welcome drink together before the city changes mood.
Because after dark Savannah becomes America's most haunted city, and we'll see why on a ghost tour through lantern-lit squares and past the houses with the darkest stories. Real history, a few legends and the right amount of goosebumps. Then it's up to us: a rooftop drink on the river or an early night for the flavors waiting tomorrow.

A Taste of the South
1 night: 2nd night: Savannah
Shrimp and grits, then Savannah at our own pace
After breakfast we'll dive into the reason we came: a walking food tour through the squares with a local guide. We'll taste our way through shrimp and grits, fried green tomatoes, lowcountry boil, honey from the city's own hives and a slice of pecan pie for good measure, learning how the Lowcountry cooks along the way. Consider it lunch, and then some!
The afternoon is ours. Some of us will wander down to River Street and the cobblestones of Factors Walk, some will chase the city's history in its house museums, and some will take the optional guided walk through Bonaventure Cemetery, the most photographed place in Georgia for a reason. We'll compare notes over dinner and, when night falls, follow our Group Leader to the bars of Congress Street or a quiet rooftop, whatever the group is in the mood for.

One Last Stroll
1 night: Departure
River Street, one more scoop, see you soon
A slow morning. After breakfast we'll take a last walk through the squares while the city is still quiet, past the fountain in Forsyth Park and down to the river for a coffee or, for the brave, a scoop at Leopold's before noon. Then it's time to say goodbye to Savannah and to our new travel crew. We leave with full stomachs, a camera roll full of moss-draped oaks and at least one ghost story we'll tell badly at dinner parties. See you on the next WeRoad adventure!
