Take a walk down this street and enjoy many restaurants/bars/souvenir streets. We had drinks at the Crab Shack and sat out, enjoying all the activity on the river.

My wife and I walked River Street. we enjoyed the vendors, the music and thefood vendors. The gentleman with the trumpet was so entertaining. So many talented vendors that were selling thier merchandise. They were all so polite and not pushy, with the exception of the people trying to sell vaction deals..

I liked looking at the local kooks, drunks and musicians. There were some fun shops. I especially liked looking at the river and the boats. Touristy bars and restaurants were interesting. I don't like the food on river street. Would rather go back in the little streets and fine a place.

We walked along the river, rode the ferry, rode the trolley and had the best mini-vacation ever! We only stayed the weekend and my regret was we didn't stay longer. People in Savannah are so friendly. I live in Tennessee where southern hospitality is alive and well, but people in Savannah act like they don't know what a stranger is!... More

Lots of super places to eat the very fresh sea food, bars and restaurants to choose from. Little shops with lots of things to buy not all tourist tat.

River street is a fun place to stroll and browse. Lots of shops with your typical tourist items. Some outstanding restaurants to visit. Be ready for the steep steps down to River Street. Not a place for those who are not sure footed. There are some streets that can be used but they are cobble stones and slippery when wet.... More

The river walk is truly, as other reviews have said, a very busy, fun and interesting place to see, eat and shop around. The cobblestone street and the ballast stone ramps make sensible shoes a must! The shops are endless and we discover something new every time we visit. Also, it would be almost impossible not to find something good... More

Busy street, many shops and bars on this street. We went during the day and looking in some shops, some were pretty good others were just ok. Glad we visited, but probably wouldn't choose to do it again when we come back.

River Street is a must do on any trip to Savannah. There are great restaurants, plenty of quirky shopping if that's your thing, great views of the river and the impressive cargo carriers moving up down it, the Waving Girl Statue and Olympic monument just down from it. The cobblestone street are great, the Factor's Walk between the upper level... More
