Savannah Getaways has worked with Savannah Movie Tours founder Ron Higgins, for the past five years now. The collaboration has been an excellent one as those guests that take have been astute enough to book a tour have rave reviews about all of “Hollywood’s” tours. Ron came up with the movie tour idea after himself working on films shot in both Los Angeles and Savannah over the years according to a press release by Telfair Square based online Carriage Trade publication.
"We have a rich Hollywood history here in the city, which started back in 1915 with the silent film "Under Southern Skies," and since then 85 films have been shot here, with those films winning 10 Academy Awards. Those films also left us with more than 420 movie locations." “Since the inception of the company in 2003, Mr. Higgins has also created the Scary Ghost Tour, Foody Tour, Savannah Shopping Tour, a "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" Tour, and VIP versions of all the tours.
Ron, Russ Moore, Lou Thomann of Suites on Lafayette and I all collaboratively co-founded our Hostess City Experience Alliance several years ago and have continued to keep our commitment of providing top notch goods and top drawer services to travelers to the Historic District. In the spirit of that tradition, Ron has expanded his tour company's offerings to include the Scary Ghost Tour and Foody Tour Savannah. In the next few weeks, his newly minted Savannah Shopping Tour will be rolled out featuring an eclectic shopping tour of the District for just $38 per person. Ron and Company will be feted at half a dozen different boutique shops with the appropriate swag for savvy shoppers. For more information or to schedule a tour, call 912-234-3440 or visit the Savannah Shopping Tour website.
