Established in 1733 and situated along the Southeastern Coast of Georgia, the city of Savannah attracts more than six million tourists each year. Visitors can tour the city's historic district, featuring famous squares and churches, while riding upon an old-fashioned carriage. Savannah offers three carriage tour companies.
The Historic Savannah Carriage Tours offers four different categories: the Girl Scout Tour, the Group Tour, the Public Tour and the Private Tour. As of April 2010, the Girl Scout Tour costs $14 per person and features the themed options of a historic Savannah tour or a ghost tour. The same options apply for group packages which cater to parties of six or more people. Prices vary based on the size of your group. The standard Public Tours through Savannah cost $20 for adults and $9 for children ages five to 11. Private tours feature five different options, including the romance tour, the taste of Savannah tour and the proposal tour. All of the tours last between 45 and 50 minutes each.
