Twilight settles over the Savannah Riverfront and the gas lamps throw long pools of light across cobblestones; the river seems to dare you to slow down and take it in. On a private two-hour walking tour, you move at a deliberate pace—past storefronts strung with white lights, under live oaks draped with Spanish moss, and into churches whose windows catch the glow of candlelight.
