Savannah, Georgia, is a city where history and waterfront charm blend seamlessly, offering travelers a chance to explore its unique character from both land and river. The Savannah's Land & Sea Combo tour is a standout experience that provides visitors with a 90-minute trolley ride through the city's historic streets followed by an equally immersive 90-minute sightseeing cruise on the Savannah River. This carefully curated adventure captures the essence of one of the Southeast’s most captivating destinations, pairing iconic architecture with coastal scenery.
Your journey begins at the Savannah Visitors Center, located at 301 Martin Luther King Blvd, where you meet your knowledgeable guide before climbing aboard an open-air trolley. As the trolley glides through vibrant neighborhoods, you'll pass by Victorian mansions and lush, moss-draped oaks that frame the cityscape. The narration offers insightful stories about Savannah’s origins, its role in American history, and highlights like the sculpted squares and grand homes that tell tales of centuries past.
After savoring the sights on land, the adventure transitions to the water. Guests check in at the River Boat office at 9 E River St before embarking on a scenic cruise down the Savannah River. This waterway has long been the lifeblood of the city, supporting trade, culture, and daily life. The captain’s commentary brings the river’s historical importance to life, sharing stories of Old Fort Jackson, which you pass en route—home to one of the largest and oldest artillery pieces still on display in the United States.
The cruise offers stunning photo opportunities of Savannah’s historic riverfront and its dynamic skyline. The river’s gentle sway and the salt air enhance the cinematic view of a working port city where modern container ships and pleasure boats converge. The onboard Riverboat Snack Shop allows you to grab a drink or snack, making it an ideal way to relax and take in the atmosphere.
This combined land and water tour sets itself apart by delivering a comprehensive introduction to Savannah’s culture, architecture, and natural beauty in a manageable three-hour window. Whether you’re a history buff, a first-time visitor, or someone seeking a leisurely exploration with expert insights, this experience is a gateway to understanding why Savannah continues to captivate travelers worldwide.
