I've been going to Savannah my entire life, but this was the first trolley tour I've ever taken. Sara, our guide, was an excellent historian. She was knowledgeable regarding present and past facts of the city. Being able to get on and off at various points throughout the city was wonderful. I would much rather pay the extra money for...

I've been to Savannah countless times but this was the first bus tour I've ever done. Sara, our tour guide, was an excellent historian and did a wonderful job pointing out different landmarks. The value and convenience of the on/off tour was really good and will probably be our preferred method of transportation on future trips. Park at the welcome... More

We did the three hour air-conditioned tour and had a great time! Our guide was named Bob and he rocked! So knowledgable and had a very good sense of humor! The man has forgotten more about Savannah than I could ever learn in a lifetime! Fully recommend this tour! Everyone with Old Savannah Tours was friendly and helpful! Excellent time!

Every person working with this company-- from the shuttle driver, to the tour guide, to the office staff-- were amazingly helpful, friendly, knowledgable, and fun. They had great stories, historical facts, described various architectural styles and interesting attractions. They went out of their way to be helpful with my mother who was in a walker. They were prompt and courteous,... More

Loved the information disseminated from the drivers on the route. Met nice folks from everywhere - even Canada! Our concierge from the Planters Inn recommended this tour and gave us discount tickets from our hotel.

Best $22 I've spent in a long time. Our guide Steve Ellis was so informative. A 4th generation native of Savannah, there wasnt a building,statue,garden,cemetary or park that he didnt know their respective history. His delivery and wit made me want to just ride his bus all day. I cant imagine anyone being any better at what they do. I... More

I did the 90 minute tour. It was quick but informative. The guide was knowledgeable. The price was reasonable. $25 I think.

The knowledge, recall and delivery of this gentleman is astounding. I can not recommend him enough. If you enjoy seeing those who are the best at what they do, you will not be disappointed. A very great deal of time and research will be revealed in an amazing 3 hour flow of history, data, real estate prices, and much more... More

Open air buses take you around the city while the driver points out historic spots. Much depends on the driver; if you don't find him or her interesting, get off the bus and wait for the next one.
