Highlights
  • Madison Square - The Starting point for the tour is a historic, architectural site and the perfect, moss-shrouded setting for a dramatic Christmas story from Colonial Savannah and a rollicking Christmas carol by your guide, The Christmas Fiddler
  • Green-Meldrim House - The Christmas Fiddler leads you to the magical courtyard of the mansion, a Victorian Gothic architectural masterpiece that is the setting for a Christmas story from 1864 during the Civil War, a haunting Christmas Carol on Violin, and a Ghost on the balcony.
  • Savannah Historic District - Most of the tour stops take place within the moss-shrouded Savannah Historic District at Christmas time, an urban forest of moss-shrouded oaks, gas lamps, Christmas decorated squares, historic mansions, and courtyards. Hands down, it is the entire route with The Christmas Fiddler as your soundtrack while we walk between the other stops.
