Less than 24 hours is all we had, but we made the most of it in our RV! We also ended our stay with an unexpected visit from the local police in the middle of the night, but more about that later.
What we did (and recommend):
- Old Town Trolley Tours (Part 1)
- The Pirate’s House (Part 1)
- Forsyth Park (Part 2)
- River Street (Part 2)
What we did (and DO NOT recommend):
- Parking your RV overnight at the Savannah Visitors Center (Part 2)
First off, I want to preface this post with saying that we LOVED Savannah and will definitely be going back to visit and explore more. Not only does it have a *TON* of history, but the city is perfectly quaint and simply gorgeous. All of the fountains and squares were so idyllic and Forrest Gump’s famous scene on the park bench with the box of chocolates was filmed here.
The Old Town Trolley Tour was the *perfect* choice for our quick trip. We hopped on at the Savannah Visitor’s Center, which is where our RV was parked. At our first stop, a lady came onto the trolley and we paid for our tickets right there on the bus. Then, you can hop on-or-off at any of their 15 stops. The trolley runs from 9am to 5pm and a trolley comes by every 20 minutes. They even have a few ‘characters’ that come on the trolley at some of the stops and reenact characters from Savannah’s history. The kids loved it!
We rode the trolley about half way and got off at The Pirate’s House for lunch. Our trolley driver recommended and advertised this restaurant as a good and affordable buffet. We didn’t quite make the buffet, but the food was tasty and they had a lady dressed as a pirate come around and entertain the kids for a few minutes.
The Pirate’s House is a part of Savannah’s history. The building was an inn and tavern for sailors and pirates visiting Savannah back in the 1700s. In the back right of the restaurant is a part of the original building that you can walk through. Upstairs, they have a little gift shop with pirate trinkets.
After lunch, we hopped back on the trolley and finished the tour, since we had started late and the trolley was about to close. We felt Savannah was small enough to trek on foot and go back to the sights we had seen on the trolley, so that is what we did next.
