Botanical Walking Tour of Savannah

Stories about plants and their uses and folklore, the history of the cemeteries and their trees. The urban history of Savannah

One of the best tours I have ever been on. Sargon was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Loved it. Learned a lot!

Sargon was a wonderful guide!!! They were even able to keep my 12 year old son interested for most of the tour, lol. We learned so much about the local plants, and the history of Savannah. We would definitely take one of their tours again!

Our tour guide was super nice and so knowledgeable of Savannah history and especially the trees, flowers and plants native to the city. It was a very pleasant experience. Do need to be able to walk for two hours which was not an issue for us.

Our guide was really knowledgeable and told us not only about plants but also about Savannah history and the beautiful houses along the way. We really enjoyed the tour.

We loved the “Rising Voices” tour so much, that we signed up for this botanical tour with our same guide, Sargon. They took us through the same squares and locations we had been through on other less-worthy tours, but taught us all about the different plants and architecture along the way. Once again, Sargon impressed us with extensive, detailed knowledge of the plants, trees, and flowers throughout the city, as well as the historical relevance of the architectural trends that you imagine when you think of Savannah. This tour left us feeling like we had a totally unique experience. If we could give this tour 6/5 stars, we would!

Excellent tour! Interesting and fun guide, gave all the details we wanted on history, plants, etc. and showed us her favorite views, gates and more. A great way to learn Savannah!

Sargon is an excellent guide for the botanical walking tour. Her knowledge of the plants and history of Savannah made this a very informative and interesting tour of a beautiful city. Highly recommend this tour. Very easy pace.

Tour guide was wonderful. I felt she did not know all the flowers and plants, although she did know most and had great stories to go along with them. One drawback: people almost always sign up for an excursion they are not actually up to. This time it was an elderly woman. She was so frail (ill?) she could not keep up at all. At all. So the tour was stopped to wait up for this person. There needs to be a way to deal with these tourists so the others get to move on and get what they paid for. Refund the poor person, perhaps? Person had an adult daughter who blew off her sick elderly mother and continued on with the tour, ignoring the situation! Grrr. Other tourists were aggravated as well. Tour guides need to be ready for those who sign up and have no ability to keep up. The tour was not what it should have been. If the guide had explained that the tour had to go on for the paid guests and that she would refund the mother and daughter, it would have been the right thing to do. It was aggravating and distracting and we missed things. Tour guide offered to walk a little more with those who wanted to see more once the tour was ‘officially done’. But by then we’d had enough and we weren’t going to stick around for more nonsense. And, we were hungry. Sweet tour guide. Totally friendly. But all guides need to be able to keep a tour going. That’s what I pay for. And there is often at least one person who signs up and then cannot actually physically handle the tour

Sargon was an excellent guide and we learned a lot of interesting facts about Savannah’s history and the beautiful plants. Would highly recommend to anyone.
