EXPERIENCE:

Who would have thought that a story about characters in a sleepy Southern enclave would have created the stir that John Berendt did with his non-fiction novel “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil”?

Even the rumors whispered beneath dripping Spanish moss are enough to make a man blush, and it’s all true! Just another day in this eccentric city?

Savannah Walks is proud to present A Walk through Midnight, a saunter through the pages of Berendt’s runaway 1994 bestseller, which Clint Eastwood made into a film in 1997.

Guides offer personal insights and observations, as well as recently unearthed stories about the characters in what the people of Savannah have come to call “the book.” Some of the guides were even extras in the movie!

The guides also have special items of interest to show you along the way. Who knows? On some days you might even see some of the actual characters strolling about the city! No other “book tour” gets you as close as this!
