And I wasn't wrong! The tour lasted about 90 minutes (and it leaves promptly FYI) and takes you along the shoreline of Amelia Island - past the shrimping boats and past a Civil War era fort - before heading towards Cumberland Island National Seashore. This is where the true fun of the tour was for me. I had no idea really the history of the island and found it fascinating how the Carnegies and Rockefellers and more of the country's elite used this random Georgia seashore as their private escape. The history of both Cumberland and Amelia Islands is incredibly fascinating and the guides for both the Florida and Georgia sides respectively were well informed and personable. Plus - you'll very likely see a ton of great wildlife throughout including dolphins and wild horses and pigs. It's a great way to spend an afternoon in the area and a fabulous introduction to Cumberland Island National Seashore/Park.

The tour starts on the hour, and having arrived shortly in advance, they told me to drive down a service road that said not to drive down on it so I could park at the house and make it on time. The tour content focuses on the family line that owned the house; there is some discussion of the people they owned early in its history, but a more detailed take on the forced labor system involved in rice farming is given in the museum back where one starts. It is a distinctive and difficult topic, but the films they play offer a relatively level-headed take. The area is very swampy now; I got outside of the house and thought to wander around and take pictures, but was immediately beset by flies. Fortunately, I had the luxury of my car. Seeing these places in person makes one wonder how anyone ever lived and labored here without modern conveniences. There's plenty of food for thought.

We have gone on a number of tours, including trolley tours in this city and others. So this was not our first tour of this type. We have enjoyed the ones that we have taken on Saint Simons Island and elsewhere. We were prepared for another enjoyable opportunity to learn more about the island and the history of its ghosts in this case. Unfortunately, this tour was far beneath our expectations. This is even aside from the fact that the bus felt worn out with no seatbelts and with open window spaces where windows used to be. It felt like a wreck that was being used for this purpose. To start off with the tour itself, it lasted only about an hour, and only went to a few locations on the island. . Most of the stories told were of deaths that occurred more than 100 years ago. The stories were very vague and were mostly discussed in the form of rumor. Our host commonly said things such as "someone told me"or "I heard." This was sort of disappointing to start. In the history of an island that has been inhabited by civilized people for hundreds of years, you would expect that there would be even more recent stories of spirits, but this did not come up in our tour. The tour guide did provide a few photos which had been shared with him by past trolley guests. And they were interesting, of course. But beyond that he did not seem to take much trouble to do much more than pass on established rumor. In addition, at times, he would feign a low, menacing voice, followed by a Scooby-Doo style evil laugh. It all fell flat. It just fell flat. The point at which we knew for certain that we had made a mistake to buy tickets was when the driver decided to turn off all the lights on the bus and speak to us in the cover of darkness. If he was going for the creepy factor, it was achieved, but it was more than that. Unnecessarily, he decided to prank the guests by screaming and sounding an air horn at the same time. It was irrelevant. It was painful. It was startling, but in a cheap way. We were so relieved our son with sensitivity to sound repeatedly requested not to go on the tour. We encouraged him several times but he continuously said no thank you. He would not have done well when this happened. It hurt our ears without having his issues. We weren't charmed by the prank. Our ears hurt, and we were annoyed. We would've gotten much more out of simply reading a book about the ghosts of Saint Simon. It would have been more informative and pleasant than this experience. This was a waste of our money. Unless major changes are made to the quality of this opportunity, we would not recommend it. Save your money. Save your time. Save your eardrums.

The Rockefeller, Pulitzer, Morgan's and more all lived there and the trolley guides share so much information. You get to visit a couple homes each tour that has been restored to original style and we visited different homes each time. My friends said at Christmas they also decorate for the holidays, which I'm sure is amazing. The drop off/pick up Location deserves it's own tour. There is a great interactive museum and a gorgeous gift shop with local artist work. We bought a cookbook with recipes from when Jekyll Island was in its heyday. I am too scared to make most of the recipes - and will never buy that much mayo - but the book is also filled with pictures and history. Other stores are in the area, either great food and gifts. Make sure to leave time to explore, plus hit the hotel. Cause have I mentioned history? And the bar is gorgeous.

Our guide on the trolley was enthusiastic and was well-versed in the history of the island as well as the houses. She gave us a glimpse into the lives in the buildings of the island making us feel as if we were on the inside track of information.
