Optional Networking Events

Old Town Trolley Tour of Savannah (Sold Out)

Saturday, January 30 | 9:00 – 10:15 a.m. (ticketed)

Travel back to another era as you tour Savannah’s most historic sites and beautiful treasures on the Old Town Trolley Tour. With its quaint country squares and many areas of historic interest, there is much to see and do in Georgia’s first city. This private 75-minute tour makes 16 stops and highlights more than 100 points of interest. After the tour, you have the ability to “hop-on/hop-off” any of the trolleys around town for the rest of the day.

Haunted Pub Crawl

Sunday, January 31 | 8:00 – 10:00 p.m. (ticketed)

Come join knowledgeable and fully-licensed guides on an informative and humorous two-hour candlelight walking tour of Savannah’s pubs and taverns. You’ll enjoy Savannah’s strange history and both types of local “spirits” as you explore two types of Savannah’s time-honored traditions: ghost stories and alcohol. Alcohol is not provided or required, but definitely encouraged. Please bring your ID (driver’s license or passport) – bars in Savannah will card you regardless of age.
