My wife and I took the on/off tour on a beautiful Monday morning. We rode the trolley to the last stop in the Historic District but we wanted to eat lunch at Paula Deen's restaurant so we hopped off and walked back a few blocks since it was around noon. After lunch we walked to a couple of location...

The tour guide was great, the amount of knowledge our guide Dan shared was incredible. In a country that is already racially divided I would have enjoyed the tour more and would have given 5 stars had our tour not included a skit or educational moment about slavery or the NAACP.

Horrible experience. When we arrived to buy our tickets, their parking was full. Since parking at the welcome center wasn't guaranteed, we decided to park near stop #9 and start the tour there. We didn't get on the trolley until afternoon time. Our first driver and narrator was pretty good. We ...

Arthur, our trolley driver/tour host was very knowledgeable and a lot of fun. He clearly enjoys what he does. The actors portraying historical events at stops were also entertaining and informative. Picking us up at our hotel was emblematic of their overall accomodating service throughout. Easy to...

We had three different drivers all of which were good but the most memorable was James Ault , he was genuinely knowledgable and entertaining. He made the trip super fun and the review is for all four adults that rode with him. We all give ole savannah tours a five because of drivers and especially J...

I hate to say it, but we were disappointed. Disappointed enough to come here to leave a review in the hopes others will read it and choose the other trolley tour company instead. I've rode with both. The stops for Old Savannah are in the oddest places. The route doesn't pass most of the best sites. ...

This was one of the best tours I've ever taken. My husband and I made a day trip from Charleston to Savannah while we were on our honeymoon, and we had a blast. Our guide was Kathleen and she did a wonderful job. She told us key information about the various stops, and was the perfect combination of...

It was nice after we got off the trolly that Eric was driving. He was always asking us if anything was behind the trolly or if he was to close. It made the experience stressful. The other driver was very confident and we got to enjoy the tour

We really enjoyed the on/off your as we got to get out and explore. There were some great tour guides. Our favorite was Mr Komedy! He had great stories but kept my kids engaged with the humor. We were laughing the whole time. We also liked the actors who got on at stops to tell their stories. It ...

The trolley driver, Arthur, learned the names of all riders and interacted by name with each of us throughout the 90-minute tour of historic Savannah. Arthur was very knowledgeable and entertaining for the entire trolley your. The guest appearances of historical characters added to the experience.

Our tour guide Peter was awesome. He was funny and knowledgeable about the places and history of the city. I felt targeted by the lady at the station because she harassed me about my parking and then when I got on the trolly with my family, she came in there to ask me only for my ticket. She did not...

Unfortunately our experience was FAR from worth the cost we paid. The first driver we rode with for the day was very informative and fun, and the trolley was the proper open-air style, with no glass windows, so you could see and feel the city. We only had one of their "Living Legends" get on and tal...

Worst tour I have ever been on. We were supposed to be on an air conditioned minibus instead we had the 3 + hours on a trolley with the hard benches. My back is still paying for it almost a week later. Never again will I tour with them.

Took our grandmother to visit Savannah for the first time and decided to go on the trolley so she didn't have to walk much. We all were pleasantly surprised with the information from our tour guide, Jamie. She was entertaining and we loved the living legacies stationed at the different stops.

Great tour. As most recommend, it's best to take the tour all the way to the end at least once them hop off at the stop you need. Our tour guide Arthur was attentive, friendly, and very well informed. The actors who hop on at various intervals (four on ours) were a unique difference and fun. They al...

Such a good, historical overview of beautiful Savannah. The drivers are dynamic, full of information & humorous. Stopping at each site to allow boarders to get off & explore the area is important w another trolley coming around every 20 min or so.

This tour is pretty cool. It s the only riding tour that you can do the on/off option, also the only one that has characters get on the bus. Arthur, our driver, was awesome, funny, and knowledgeable. There is a lot of history and a lot you probably wouldn t know if you didn t take the tour.

Great tour guides, lots to see and learn, just sorry I couldn't tour the First African Baptist Church. Tip: get the on/off tour, you can look around at your own pace and tour at least twice to get new perspectives from different tour guides.
