Very imformatative tour, it was nice to have a knowledgeable guide. We even learned several interesting facts - the streets run east to west and north to south, so it's easy to find our way, and it's a 42' drop down to the river street. We hit all the sites, and go our bearings for our way around the city for our vacation.

Excellent overview of Savannah. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and really put into perspective the huge role the city played in US history. The squares are amazing as well as architecture of buildings. Great option to get your bearings on the city.

A great way to experience Savannah!

Denice_D, Apr 2026
We thoroughly enjoyed our historic tour with Red. Red was knowledgeable and humorous we thoroughly enjoyed our city tour with Red. Red, the tour guide, was knowledgeable, humorous and a safe driver! We drove through various parts of historic downtown to learn about the parks and drive by historic houses. It was a great way to experience Savannah. I highly recommend the tour. Other staff at the pickup site were also very friendly and helpful.

Too much advertising

Elizabeth_S, Apr 2026
The tour narrative was 25% history and local insight and 75% commercials for local shops, bars and restaurants.

Great tour.

Anthony_W, Apr 2026
Red was amazing. Informative and very funny. Lots of laugh out loud moments amid the historic stories.

Quick Historical Tour

Sharlonne_S, Apr 2026
The tour is a quick glimpse into the historical aspect of Savannah. Very light facts nothing too heavy. Great way to see Savannah without walking.

Couldn’t understand...

Janey_W, Apr 2026
Couldn’t understand guide. Tour was an hour, not 90 minutes. People were nice but tour was a disappointment.

Ask for Meagan, she’s the best.

Linda_C, Apr 2026
Ask for Meagan she was very friendly, knowledgeable, and delightful. I would recommend you ask for her.

Great and informative

Melissa_S, Apr 2026
It was a really good and informative tour. Brittany Johnson was very funny and told us lots of history. I also got a phone call making sure we were on our way which I thought was great. Yes, we were on time.

Lay of the land tour of Savvanah

Darcy_C, Apr 2026
This trolley tour was a great way to get a lay of the land in Savannah. Brittany was an excellent tour guide with a lot of history to share. She shared information almost non-stop - while she was driving - it was impressive. She pointed out locations that we made sure to come back to. Highly recommend for the first day of a trip, or later, when your legs need a rest from all of the walking!

We loved our Savannah...

Camie was very knowledgeable and personable. Shuttle service both ways was a definite plus. The tour provided a great overview of the historic district

Great Tour!

Moni_H, Apr 2026
The tour was great! The driver/tour guide was very informative and made the tour very enjoyable. Also, my husband and I actually bought tickets to the 1pm tour but we got there early to be sure we knew where the place was and one of the employees said she would check to see if we could go on the 12pm tour since we were there early and we did get to go on the noon tour. That was great!

Best tour when you 1st arrive

Jill_G, Apr 2026
Very informative. I suggest this tour be the first thing you do when you get to Savannah. Not only do you get the history of the city. You get the lay of the land. You will see where you are interested in spending more time.

Really great tour! We...

Carol_D, Apr 2026
Really great tour! We learned a ton of new things about Savannah from our tour guide, Tyler. He was energetic and engaging and funny... it was the last tour of the day and I thought he might be just ready to go home, but he was full of pep and great information as he drove us around to the cool sights of Savannah.
