Savannah goes above and beyond with a multitude of interesting things to do and see not typically found elsewhere. Savannah is unique in the attractions as well as the means by which to do and see them. One can walk, ride a carriage or hop the trolley to tour much of the historic city but there is an underlying culture that one might never experience if they don't pay attention. There are ghost tours and murder mystery cruises for those with a propensity for drama and intrigue. For the food coinsure, choose the restaurant tour, which among seven quality eateries, includes Paula Deen's famous place, Lady and Sons, where Paul may actually be in the kitchen! Or dine at the Pirate's House Restaurant, in business since 1753! For those interested in star power, there are almost 70 sites where movies have been filmed that can be visited as well as a tour of homes of stars. Drink in the soulful sounds of the Gospel music of the south on a dinner club cruise or take in the grand old homes of the Victorian District. So much southern flavor, charm, hospitality and style; it's not all historic but it's why you'll come back to Savannah again and again.
