Love, Love, Love them!! They were the most helpful for giving us information on where to go and what to see! The 90 minute Tour with Robin who is True Savannah Southern Charm is delight and worth every penny and then to be able to get on and off all day is very helpful and saves time in getting to... more

I highly recommend this tour! We learned more about Savannah and its history from Janet, our tour guide than we could have ever learned from any guide book. She was informative, witty, and took a real interest in showing us her city. The trolley was clean and comfortable. We had a great time and will do it again next time... more

I've been to Savannah two times before, and used the other trolley tours. I have to say they are no better then Oglethorpe Trolley Tours. The only difference is that you must do the entire tour before having the on/off priveledge. This is really no big deal, in fact I kinda like that the tour wasn't constantly interrupted by stops... more

We went on this ghost tour largely because we thought there might be great ghost stories connected with the Candler hospital morgue, and this is the only tour that has access to it. Please don't bother, if that's the reason you're choosing it. a dark morgue might be scary to some, but there were no stories connected with it, so... more

Our tour guide was monotoned thru out the 90min tour. We took the 930am tour, and our guide had no fluctation in his voice. He probably did this tour a hundred times before and it showed. On top of the disappointing tour guide, the company says they have on/off privileges after the tour is over. We were out and about... more

We recently spent a fun 90 minutes with our guide, Janet, as she shared her extensive knowledge of the history and sights of Savannah. She has a great sense of humor and,in addition,provided us with sweet treats for the ride. With no middleman, this family-run tour company is able to keep the price reasonable--$15 is a real bargain. Don't miss... more

Our guide, Janet, was a knowledgeable and entertaining guide. We liked the Oglethorpe system which does a round of uninterrupted touring followed by unlimited on and off transportation throughout the day. Their price was also less than the competition. All around excellent value and experience. more

Our guide (whose name I can't remember - older lady, hair in a chin length bob) was very knowledgeable about not only the history and provenance of the area & gorgeous homes, she had very up to date info about current local events, restoration projects and just a bit of gossip. We chose Oglethorpe Tours based on the price ($15... more

Oglethorpe runs their tours differently than the other two companies in town, Old Savannah (white trolleys) and Old Time Trolley (orange). I've never seen a strange system like theirs in any city. You have to first take a non-stop 90 min. tour on a trolley, leaving only from their main office- no stops anywhere. At the end, back again at... more

HGreetings from Savannah! We appreciate every review that we receive - on Tripadvisor, by email, etc. We want every guest to have the best possible experience and appreciate any unbiased feedback. However, this review is completely inaccurate. 1.We DO offer complimentary historic district hotel pick ups. Once the trolley departs the Visitors Center we then pick up any guests that...

Took Oglethorpe Trolley Ghost Tour October 30, 2009. The tour guide Rebecca was very good and our driver Larry the scarecrow as excellent. He stopped at most of the sites instead of just driving by them. Rebecca was very informative but didn't try to over sell herself or Savannah as some tour guides do. We also went into the old... more
