    The trolley for Old Savannah Tours.
    Marilu F.

    I saw so many trolley tours in Savannah that the question became which one to pick. Well, as it turns out, you ask around. One of my Uber drivers heavily suggested Old Savannah Tours, otherwise known as the tour held in the white trolley because they have people dressing up as characters. To boot, the concierge at the hotel also recommended them with the added caveat that they have ghost tours. Needless to say, Old Savannah Tours it was for both the typical trolley tour and the ghost tour. TOUR #1: This was the typical trolley tour. You could pay to go around once or have unlimited hop-on, hop-off. I did the latter and I think the price difference was $8 or so. As it turned out, I went all over the place and the trolley stops running past 5 PM, so something to keep in mind. I mention it as my space case brain just got so busy that I just ended up not hopping back on the trolley. TOUR #2: This one took place in the evening and it was a ghost tour. I loved this as in the evening they pick you up via shuttle. No need to hunt down the trolley. Or at least that was my case. Additionally you get spooky ghost stories and even get to go to the first floor of the Telfair. Going in there definitely makes me want to revisit it, especially as there are more floors. Anyway, all in all, happy I chose Old Savannah Tours. Would definitely recommend them!

    I bought the tickets through Orbitz. It was a good price for two people. Get there early to have a parking spot. The tour starts at 9 am and it goes through historic Savannah neighborhoods. The best thing to get is the hop-and-on pass. There are trolley stops all around the tour and you're able to get off and on. I gave them three stars because of my experiences. It started when I checked in. No one was on the front counter. She was doing multiple people's jobs. I've waited like 10 minutes. I showed my Orbitz confirmation on my phone. She asked me if I had a printout. So, I didn't and she didn't print it out. She explained that I have to have a sticker to get on and off the trolley (this will evolve into an experience later). I didn't know there was a way to get around and re-rise the trolley when I booked my tickets on Orbitz. Unfortunately, I didn't get those tickets :/ Moreover, we sat inside the trolley and sat on the front row with the tour narrator just one foot in front of us. When he was talking he projected saliva on us. It was disgusting! Also, during the tour, she stopped talking and looked at young females walking on the sidewalk. It was not necessary to do that in front of people while narrating historical facts. It was very creepy and perverted. During the ride, I noticed we stopped at the trolley stop tourists coming on to ride the trolley without the Old Savannah Tour. The driver didn't say anything to them and asked them for their tickets. At the end of the tour at the Savannah Welcome Center. It is the last stop to take a break. Therefore, we had to take another trolley back to the Old Savannah Tour Center. When we hopped inside the trolley the driver asked if we had tickets. He didn't ask the other non-persons of color who were getting inside the trolley. That irritated me! I felt singled out. Overall, I liked the facts about the historical park squares and houses during the trolley tour. However, I wouldn't recommend this for older adults with mobility difficulties. My mom didn't enjoy it because it was a lot of walking and River Street had an even sidewalk.

    Old Savannah Tours: For the most part the tour provided us with a lot of information about Savannah with all its history. A cool service they provided is that you call them and they'll pick you up - our pick up spot (on Bay Street) was super close to our hotel (Hyatt Regency Savannah) actually it was in front of the Bohemian which was located right next door. Once you're picked up they take you to the Savannah Welcome Center where you'll check in (showing your email receipt or paying for your tour). They'll give you a sticker to place on your shirt to use throughout the day for hopping on and off at the different stops (16 total) Whenever we travel to a city we take hop on hop off tours and run the entire route to see all the stops then we figure out which stops we like and go back to those stops. Overall the Tour was decent it was just that the driver/tour guide spoke to fast and the volume of the speaker was not high enough to hear everything. Also the bus moved very fast through some of the areas so seeing everything that the driver/tour guide was pointing out only allowed us a moment to see what he was talking about. The tour takes you through the many squares with Spanish Moss hanging from the Oak trees- the old south look you always see in pictures/movies very cool. A nice extra is that from time to time the bus would stop and a character actor (dressed in the period of time or subject of the particular area/time) would join us on the bus to tell us stories about the area/city of Savannah. All in all it is a very good way to see all the historical spots, but again we felt slightly rushed. I felt we missed a few things

    There are three trolley tour companies in Savannah, but Old Savannah Tours is locally owned (not a franchise) for 40 years, and they provided a great experience! My driver and guide was Robbin. She told stories and gave historic information along the 15 stops. There were also actors that came on board at a couple of stops to provide historic information about the characters they were portraying from a 1st person perspective. You can choose the Overview tour that lasts about 90 minutes or you can buy the hop-on/hop-off option to explore a bit at the stops you prefer and get on the next available trolley. They run around every 15-20 minutes, so if the next trolley you want is full, another shouldn't be that far behind.

    We enjoyed our tour, they are open air trolley busses. Seating is comfortable enough. The guide we had was fun and energetic throughout as well as knowledgeable about all of our stops. The actors at each stop are a fun encounter with stories and it was entertaining more so for our children. Would recommend again when having guests from out of town to get a tour of a lot the haunted stops around Savannah if they've never been.

    Such a fun time! We took a tour today and did the hop on/off one, so wound up on 3 different trolleys total! Our favorite was the last one! The driver was also the tour guide (other two had one person telling a story while someone else drove) and he was fantastic! Super knowledgeable and also hilarious. I unfortunately can't remember his name - but he used to live in the Chicagoland area (Hinsdale) so we had that in common! Super welcoming to our pup, Chucky as well! Love that it's dog friendly! Great way to explore the city rain or shine and not leave a furry family member behind! Would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting! Thanks for having us!

    They allowed us to bring outlet dog. Which was really great! Our tour guide Eric was great. Lots of information about Savannah. He was able to maneuver that trolly in some tight places too The couple historians dressed in vintage clothing was cool too The only reason I rate them a 4 is because we finished our tour in the dark. None of the parking lots were lit So it was very dark walking from the trolley to our car.

    Old Savannah Tours are an interesting way to get around and learn some historical facts about Savannah. I'm not sure what I was expecting from this tour, but I don't think what we experienced was what I had in mind. I did a ghost tour with Old Savannah tours and learn some really interesting and creepy facts about the city which was pretty cool, but I was kind of thrown by the ghost characters that they had come on the trolley. Overall, the tour was decent, and I got learn a little history about Savannah. If you haven't tried one of these tours, it wouldn't hurt to give it a try.

    I've been on this tour a few times and each time it's different. The stories seem to change as well. They added where different people portraying historical characters get on at various stops to tell a story. It wasn't my favorite tour experience. If was okay. We tipped the tour guide and driver because it seemed like hard work and they did their best.

    My sister in law and I spent the weekend in Savannah and thought it would be nice to take a tour of the city. Great idea. This tour company has trolleys running all day and you can get off the trolley and get back on to explore. We decided to stay on the entire tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute. We payed for our tour online. The pickup spot was right outside our hotel. Very convenient. Don't forget to tip the driver.

    This trolley tour is a great way to learn more about Savannah while getting a break from walking. We purchased the on/off option which means you can get on or off at any of the 14 stops and continue the tour. They'll give you a sticker and several times during your trolley ride they stop to check your tickets so have those ready. We paid $31 each for the on/off tour. We opted to ride the full regular 90 min tour first then go back for a second ride and got off close to our hotel. Larry was our guide and Latonya (not sure if I got her name right) was our driver. They're a great team. Latonya is a great driver and Larry was all the things you want in a tour guide. He was funny and knowledgeable. The on/off tour is slightly more expensive than the 90 min tour but it was a great option for us because we could come and go as we pleased. The seats on the trolley were not comfortable as they're essentially bench seats or like church pews so be aware if that's a problem for you. The visitor center where the shuttle takes you to get on the trolley has bathrooms and drinks. There's a small gift shop as well (actually 2). The next stop they'll offer you water for $1. Since we went in the off season (Dec) we didn't have long waits or intense heat. However, it was overcast and rainy the week we visited. If you go in December you'll want a hoodie or coat because it's pretty chilly on the trolley. We wore hoodies and coats and were comfortable but others weren't. They have characters hop on and off at some stops but we only found one informative. It was mostly cheesy lines and over exaggerated accents. Stop 11 is on River St by the water. You will find cargo ships, the Georgia Queen riverboat and various shops. There are several souvenir stores. The Five and Dime was probably the best one for us. Huey's has excellent Beignets (dessert). If you go toward Linda's you're basically at the end of River St but if you go the opposite way you can walk that whole street and find many options and get an excellent view of the bridge closer to JW Marriott Plant Riverside. The sidewalks are narrow and not in the best condition in places so be aware. Stop 12 drops you right above River St and you can dine at Vics on the River and overlook the steamboat. There's an elevator inside that takes you back down to River St. Overall, we enjoyed the tour but I can see how not having a good guide could ruin this for you. We learned some interesting things about Savannah and would do it again. In the future, I'd love more informative characters that focus less on theatrics and more on the lives of the people they represent.

    Wonderful tour guide

    Where do the tours start-215 Boundary street or the address listed in their Yelp profile?

    How is the Grave Encounters tour?

    Pretty fantastic. The tour was more ghostly than jump-scare. The talking was good. I feel the price matches the expectation. Paulie and Ro were fun.
