Quote from Our Travelers
“We saw so much – things that we didn’t even know we wanted to see! And everything was personalized tour our interests – which made it 100 times better! So many great experiences but the highlight was our private tour with our expert local guide! It felt like exploring Savannah with an old friend. We absolutely recommend American Stories Travel for a personal touch on your trip!”

“Traveling to Savannah with American Stories Travel was a great choice! They took care of all the details, from the ghost tours to the best spots for Southern eats. I’d recommend them to anyone who wants a hassle-free, fun trip. They know their stuff and make it all about what you enjoy!”

“My girlfriends and I decided to do a girl’s weekend in Savannah trip and wanted it to be super special. We had no idea what we wanted to do. Our Experience Designer came up with an itinerary that had something for each of us – from a riverboat cruise to the beautiful but spooky Bonaventure Cemetery to a private pedicab ride and more. I can’t recommend them enough!”
2024 - L.D.
“We celebrated our anniversary in Savannah and thanks to American Stories Travel it was an amazing time! We are both foodies and did a lot of food-centered experiences – a food tour through the historic squares, a luncheon harbor cruise and our absolute favorite – a Lowcountry cooking class! We’ve already decided to use them for our next anniversary which will be in Charleston.”
