Savannah Fun Tours

As you might know, Savannah Lodging is the brand which represents the Hampton Inn Historic District, Holiday Inn Express, and the Mulberry Inn. Because we have numerous properties in Savannah our sales team is scattered throughout Bay Street. So, during the holiday season our director of sales plans a whole day of “team building” for us. Since this is my first year on the team, I didn’t really know what to expect. I had heard stories from the past, but I had no idea what I was in for.



The day started with all 8 of us meeting in the lobby of the Hampton. The only clue we had into what we were doing was “make sure you wear warm clothes and your walking shoes.” Done. Soon after a lady named Kathleen Anderson came in looking for us, she was with Savannah Fun Tours. We were going on a scavenger hunt all throughout Savannah.


Before you jump to conclusions, this was not your ordinary scavenger hunt. We were given a list of clues that would lead us to landmarks throughout the city, and different actions to perform and document with pictures. Each landmark/activity was designated a point value, and it was your teams goal to collect the most points. The catch was that you could only attempt 15 clues on the list.
"Sassy Sales Team"

On a mission!

First stop: The Olde Pink House

Stop #2: getting samples at Leopold's Ice Cream :)

Stop #3: a visit with Mr. Johnny Mercer

"I saw mommy kissing Santa Clause"

The lucky guy who offered to dress up in women's clothing for our hunt (such a good sport)!


Our team, “Sassy Sales Girls,” came in second place (out of two teams). That is okay though, we had so much fun running around the city together and asking random strangers to take pictures with us. I would definitely recommend Savannah Fun Tours to any group coming to Savannah and looking for something different to do.
