Vintage Citroën ride through Savannah’s squares and secrets

You’ll roll through Savannah’s historic streets in a vintage Citroën 2CV with a local guide who feels more like a friend than a lecturer. Expect quiet moments in Forsyth Park, stories behind famous spots like Mercer Williams House and River Street, plus those little details only locals share. There’s time to soak up city sounds and grab coffee at the end — you’ll leave feeling part of Savannah’s rhythm.

The Experience

The first thing I noticed was the soft rattle of the Citroën’s doors as we pulled away from the curb — not loud, just this gentle clatter that somehow fit right in with Savannah’s old brick and mossy trees. Our guide, Sam, waved to someone at a corner bakery (everyone seems to know each other here), then asked if we’d ever seen Forsyth Park before sunrise. We hadn’t. He grinned, took us for a slow loop around the fountain, and pointed out some statue I’d never even noticed on my last visit. The air smelled faintly of gardenias — or maybe it was just something blooming nearby. Either way, it felt like the city was waking up with us.

I kept expecting the tour to be all about the big stuff — Mercer Williams House, River Street — but Sam had stories tucked away for every little square we passed. At Chippewa Square he told us about the city’s original layout (I probably should’ve known that, but didn’t). There was this moment when we coasted over cobblestones on River Street and I could actually hear the tires crunching — kind of satisfying, honestly. A couple of shopkeepers waved at our car like it was an old friend; maybe it is.

We stopped by Colonial Park Cemetery and Sam got quiet for a second before sharing some odd detail about the headstones being moved during yellow fever outbreaks. It wasn’t spooky exactly — more like respectful. After that, we circled City Market where you could smell fried seafood and hear someone tuning a guitar inside one of the galleries. I tried to pronounce “Telfair Academy” with my best Southern accent; Sam laughed but let me have it. The tour wrapped near Forsyth again, where he suggested grabbing coffee at a spot tucked into an old armory building (good call). I still think about that first loop around the park — how peaceful it felt before everything got busy.
