The On/Off Tour with Old Savannah Tours was a fantastic way to take kids to see the city of Savannah and to learn the history. We got on and off several times during the day to explore a couple of sites close-up, and then transferred at the Savannah Visitor's Center to complete the whole tour from start to finish without getting off. The drivers were all very friendly, and each had a slightly different personality/twist to how they presented the various aspects of the history of Savannah and its buildings. We especially enjoyed the characters who temporarily boarded to give a 2-minute living history presentation- fantastic! My kids (upper elementary all the way down through pre-k and toddler), loved the whole tour, and it was a lot of fun to be able to get on and off at the different stops. We were also getting on and off with an umbrella stroller for the baby without any problem. There was a bit of a hang-up at one stop where there were too many people who wanted to get on and not enough seats on the the next trolley. That driver called in, and an empty trolley was sent straight to the stop. The manager (owner?) of the business personally showed up before the empty trolley to make sure everyone got aboard. We saw him again at least one more time as he made sure everything was going smoothly in terms of people having seats to ride. The customer service at their primary terminal was fantastic. We made our reservation for the wrong tour (Historical Overview) on a popular "coupon" website (starts with Group, ends with -on... a website I DO NOT recommend) and the ladies in the terminal were able charge us the difference so that we could ride the On/Off tour. The other trolley company may look a bit more "polished," but don't be fooled by looks! The white trolley company is fantastic. If we have another opportunity to take a trolley tour in Savannah in the future, we will definitely return to Old Savannah Tours, and will be recommending them to others, as well. Currently there is a $3 off coupon on the downtown map that you can pick up at the Savannah Visitors Center, located at Liberty/MLK Blvd. Our final tour ride was with Mike and Ethyl. Mike did a great job on the history, and Ethyl was fantastic at maneuvering through the "rush-hour" traffic.

Thank you Old Savannah Tours for a memorable day in historic Savannah!!!
