Explore Savannah at your own pace with a self-guided WalknTours experience on your phone. The app walks you step by step through the city’s original squares and tells the stories of its founding, its buildings and churches, and its founder. As you move through the streets, you will hear about the Telfair Museum, the site where Forrest Gump was filmed, the founding of the Girl Scouts, Tomochichi’s memorial and other local highlights.

Along the way the narration acts like a guide in your pocket, offering a hands-free way to learn while you walk. You may stop in the shops, squares or restaurants you find as you go. The experience is well suited to solo travellers who prefer to explore independently and at their own pace.
