The Historic Trolley Ride was our first activity in Savannah. We wanted to get the lay of the land and learn about the city. It did not disappoint. Our guide was knowledgeable and humorous. We came away with a list of sites we wanted to see.

Five fifty something ladies on a weekend girls trip decided to take this tour. We loved it! Can’t remember our host’s name but he had been doing this for 23 years and it showed. He was so knowledgeable and we enjoyed the tour very much!

Easy hop on hop off system. Drivers were very knowledgeable about the history of the city. Learned a great deal from them.

The guide was very informative. Even though it was a drizzly day the stops were still worth getting off to visit.

The tour guide was wonderful! She was very knowledgeable about the area and had a great sense of humor.
