“Worth the $10”

3/3 found this review helpful

We came into Savannah on Sunday, and decided to take the 90 minute tour. It was only $10, so we thought it would be a good way to learn about Savannah. Our driver was Joan, and she was really good and was really helpful in showing us where we should park the next day when we went to eat at the Lady & Sons restaurant. Since the trolley was so helpful we decided to pay $5 for an extra day of on & off transportation to the Lady & Sons, river street and other points of interest. It was worth the money to not have to worry about parking, and parking isn't cheap either.Some places was $1 an hour. My advise would be park at the Oglethorpe Trolley center, where the parking was free. And ride the trolley to get around, much better than driving, and much cheaper than the other tours. We loved it, and would gladly do it again, if we were back in town.

My husband and I just returned from a trip to Savannah Ga. Seeing the histroric sights by trolley was wonderful. We used "Oglethrope Trolley Tours." The guide was knowledgeable and funny. The tour lasted ninety minuets and was worth seeing. I would recommend it to anyone looking for history and intrigue.

My wife and my goal for our last day in Savannah was to pop around town and get as many pictures as possible of all the sites we could. So, I remembered having been on an Oglethorpe Trolley Tour in the past, only $10/person, unlimited on/off service, and thought this was a no brainer.

Apparently, Oglethorpe has changed their service since the last time I went on a tour with them. In the past, I thought a person could get off the trolley at any time along the tour (at least at the predetermined stops on their map) and then just hop on the next trolley that came along. Well, this is not the case. We sat down and were informed that for the next 90 minutes, the trolley was not going to make any stops. Needless to say, my wife and I weren't too interested in this (we had been on 2 evening "ghost" tours and a 2 1/2 hour city tour already). However, we just figured that we would learn something new, as always happens on each and every tour we take.

Well, this again proved to be true. Our guide was Kevin and he had some pretty good information to share. However, Kevin kind of disturbs me and I think he has some anger issues that he is barely able to keep under control. Driving through town he would make several quite disparaging comments to people who have not parked correctly. One time, we were coming around a corner and Kevin had a tight squeeze to get by an illegally parked car. He stopped the portion of the tour directed at us and said to the driver of the illegally parked car, "Just park that thing anywhere!" The driver then retorted to all, including Kevin, "If you don't like it, go back to where you came from." Unpleasant and uncomfortable.

However, once our tour was over, we had the option of getting off at City Market (the whole trolley quickly made its exit from Kevin) and we departed. 2 other times during the day, I called to be picked up from a location in town and, within 5-10 minutes, my wife and I were being whisked away to our next destination.

Overall, a good, economic tour. Also, they were very responsive for pick-ups (we met a couple from Michigan outside the Kehoe house that had been waiting about an hour for their pick up from a different trolley company). In the end, everything worked out fairly well.

Can't beat this tour for $10! (and free parking!) Make sure to take advantage of the free parking at their visitor center on Turner Street. The 90 minute tour on the blue trolleys takes you all around the downtown district and then lets you off on a market street so you can explore on your own. They have separate shuttle buses with on/off service that you can use to go to different stops on the tour after the regular tour is over. The tour guide we had (Marty I think) was great with the knowledge he had but a little hard to understand at times with his deep southern accent. We highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants a great history lesson with fantastic views!
