- Headquarters hours: the Eventbrite listing says wristband pickup runs 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.; the tour details page says 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Plan to arrive by 1 p.m.
Tour day rules
- Wristband: pick it up at Hotel Bardo, 700 Drayton St., on tour day. There is no advance pickup. Bring your Eventbrite receipt. The color-coded wristband is your ticket and must be worn at every stop.
- Children: no one under 12, including infants.
- Shoes: no high heels, which can damage the historic wood floors.
- Photos: no photography or video inside the homes.
- Access: it is a walking tour. Most of the historic homes have several steps and are not accessible for wheelchairs or strollers, the association said.
Getting there and parking
Tour headquarters is Hotel Bardo, 700 Drayton St. The association points visitors to Visit Savannah’s parking page for meters, garages and visitor passes. The city’s Mobility and Parking Services runs the downtown garages and on-street meters. Check our road construction and closures page before you drive.
Once you are on the tour, the association lists three ways to get around:
- Trolley shuttle: sold separately on Eventbrite. It runs between headquarters and central tour stops, not to each home.
- Savannah Cruzers: stop-to-stop rides for tour guests, booked at savannahcruzers.com/toh.
- Pedicabs: hail one on the day or book ahead with Savannah Pedicab.
What this means for you
- Buy soon if you want the all-day pass or a VIP slot; both are limited and there is no wait list.
- Leave anyone under 12 at home and wear flat shoes.
- Pick up your wristband at Hotel Bardo by 1 p.m. to be safe.
- Questions go to the association at holidaytour@savannahdna.org.
