Things To Do In Savannah, GA In September

The river street Riverboat Company in Savanna Georgia has two boats which are available for their lunch and dinner cruise. They offer plenty of options to choose what type of cruise to attend. The best time of year to do this is usually in September when the weather is cooler and less humid, not to mention all the summer tourists have gone home. Hungry for breakfast? There is a Sunday brunch cruise. How about lunch or dinner? They can do that too. Moonlight cruises are also available. One of the lunch tours that is available turns the paddle boat captain into the tour guide. There are also sightseeing and sunset tours given. The options are available to please any type of seafarer. These paddle river boats are nothing short of amazing and a vibrant piece of history that is available to experience. The Georgia Queen is the larger of the two paddle boats, it stands 68 feet tall, it has enough room for 1,000 guests and comes equipped with three ballrooms and a large overlook deck.

If there was ever a great time to visit Savanna Georgia it's in September. The summer heat has cooled down and it rarely rains. Perfect for either a quick weekend tour or a full weeks adventure. While Savannah is known as a civil war town, and there are many walking tours featuring the gruesome murders of old, nothing compares to the Garden of Good and Evil Walking Tour. Based on a 1994 non-fiction novel by John Berendt, the story of the book highlights the murder of Danny Hansford. supposedly a notoriously gay part-time prostitute and his 2-year lover, antique dealer, and respected citizen Jim Williams. Supposedly the two got into a row and Williams killed Hansford in his home. Williams claimed the killing was in self-defense. There was not one but 4 trials, with two finding Williams guilty. one a hung jury, and the final one in Augusta finding Williams not guilty nearly 8 years after the murder. As the book was fictionalized very little, most of the elements of the book remain in the heart of Savannah. Thrilling narrator guides on this walking tour bring the story to life, and it's a must-see for anyone who has read the book (over 216 weeks on the New York Times Best Seller list,) or seen the 1997 movie.

September is the perfect month to miss the summer Savannah heat and still experience the Savannah Historic Trolley Tour. Sit back and relax on this peaceful 90-minute trolley tour of the beautiful Savannah city to spot some of the most historical locations that have been the foundation of the rich culture. Visitors will have the opportunity to immerse themselves within the culture at each of the 16 stops throughout the trolley route. Once passengers arrive at a stop, they will have the option to explore the area, learn some history, and then board the next trolley to take them on to the next new adventure. There are trolleys that arrive every 15 to 20 minutes at each of the 16 stops; therefore there will always be opportunities for more time if needed by any traveler. Visitors should look forward to visiting locations such as Savannah Visitors Center, Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, The Pirates' House, City Market, River Street, and many other culturally rich locations. Because this activity does have more walking involved, the September month is a perfect choice of time to avoid the blistering Savannah heat.
